Hot priest reimagined as cool type (7)

I believe the answer is:

hipster

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cool type' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'hot priest reimagined' is the wordplay.
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation, eg on taps).
'reimagined' is an anagram indicator.
'priest' is an anagram of 'ipster'.
'h'+'ipster'='HIPSTER'

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hipster that I've seen before include "fitting below the waist" , "Bohemian" , "Fashionable person" , "Trendsetter" , "kind of pants" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
