Is it hipster of me to not want to do things when doing so is perceived by myself as typical?

I have a new phone, and was deciding on what ringtone to use. I decided on the Super Mario Bros. theme because my wife thought I should… but I didn’t really want to at first because that felt like the obvious, typically popular gamer thing to pick. I like it, but I had an aversion to picking the popular choice. Looking back, I often make choices to not do things that the crowd would do or what I perceive they would perceive someone interested in my interests would do. I often do get around to the popular thing, but after it wouldn’t be considered a bandwagon decision or if someone else bought X for me as a gift or invited me to Y.
