The problem with hipster doofi, like many other social niches that have expanded beyond their core numbers and into larger society, is there are only so many actually cool people to go around. This means the majority of any small scene writ large is going to be boring ego hobbyists who are playing dress up to try to fool you and themselves into believing they are cool. As much as hipsters worship at the alter of irony, they are ultimately victims to irony in that while they think they are in on every joke, they are in fact missing that the joke they are making is ultimately on them. And as you seemed to have noticed at Psychotronic, there is something particularly tinny and annoying about a lame joke, told badly by a clueless dolt, who thinks the joke and himself are both deeply clever and hysterical funny.
