The first printed dictionary to list the word hipster is the short glossary "For Characters Who Don't Dig Jive Talk," published in 1944 with the album Boogie Woogie In Blue by pianist Harry Gibson, who performed as Harry the Hipster.[2] The entry for hipsters defined it as, "characters who like hot jazz." This glossary of jive expressions was also printed on playbills handed out at Gibson's concerts for a few years. It was not a complete glossary, as it only included expressions that were found in Gibson's lyrics.[3] The same year, 1944, Cab Calloway published The New Cab Calloway's Hepster's Dictionary of Jive, which had no listing for hipster. Given that Hepster is Calloway's pun on Webster, it appears that hepster pre-dates hipster.
