Oh, no... they are using "ironic" correctly. It isn't poetic or dramatic irony. Though you could say they like things people would expect them to hate just to be different.
Well, the label is now used to describe people with big, fake, horn-rimmed glasses (which really hurts the awesome-factor of Elvis Costello-style glasses. The dude worm them because he needed them, and they became his thing. Now every pick with 20/20 vision wears a fake pair), way-too-tight jeans or leggings, a penchant for low-quality beer (see: Pabst Blue-Ribbon) and cigarettes, a false sense of superiority, and the ability to appreciate things only ironically.
Now, the word used to simply describe eccentric people. I remember a teacher calling me a "little hipster" when I was in elementary school because I wore late-80s style florescent colors combined with mid-late-90s techie shit and used hippie-lingo (which all came from my sitter. She was a mega-cool hippie).
And so I was kinda proud of that label as a kid. Then it got stolen by unkempt douchebags and I've been trying to take it back... it hasn't worked.
