Common usage

Irony is one of the most misunderstood concepts in literature, and most uses of the word irony are ironically incorrect. This is especially true with the advent of the internets, where the exhibition of "irony" has been elevated to a god-level behavior. Irony online and in the hipster community entails doing something antiquated while being aware that the action in question is obsolete. Examples of internets irony include posting old memes and using netspeak on a normally eloquent forum.

Example Sentences

  • No, I'm not gay. I'm wearing pink for, like, irony, you know?
