This sounds more like a problem the author of the article has with herself. If she wants to dust off her irony, that's not my problem. As if Hipsters were the first who used irony or sarcasm.
Despite that, her approach and her article are too intellectually constipated to me.
To me Hipsters are the same as Preppies: a bunch of shallow trustafarians who are members of a club to which you gain acces by consumerism. Wear the right clothes, then you're part of the gang.
