I'm not actually a proper hipster with skinny jeans and a waxed mustache, but for the purposes of this discussion I you could say I am - I like many of the same things, for similar reasons. In general though I don't think subcultures are very ironic. Most people want to belong to something, even if they don't like (aspects of) the majority culture. If there is a group with similar sensibilities to you then why not join them and protest mass consumerism or whatever together? Even if it means adapting your style a bit. Human beings don't exist in vacuums, almost everything we do is in relation to other people and their opinions and culture.
