Ever since the use of irony became accessible to the masses of the internet, it's really died a fucking tragic death under a deluge of idiots who use irony so heavy-handedly that it's sarcasm without the bite or the passion.
Irony is supposed to be subtle, or at least dead-pan. The poor excuse for irony I see on the Internet these days is simply embarrassing.
Stop It.
Yours,
The Association of the True Irony (a.t.i.)

Obviously I named it that in a bid to trap Dillinger Escape Plan / Mike Patton fans into the thread. Awesome Extended Player.

I think "irony" is often used as a catch all insult by people who want to knock something that they don't feel is earnest or worthy enough. Miserable cunts.

"Postmodern" is another one people bandy about without having a fucking clue what it means. When someone whines about "postmodern irony" then you know they're a real twat.

Ha, yeah - I had considered using the word post-modern in inverted commas within my original post.

I realized cartoons like Ren and Stimpy are full of irony (opposite than what expected happens). Like pixie ren is about to chisel eye crust from the sleeping giant because its worth more gold than all the pixie dust in the world and he reacheas back with his pick in a mighty stance and thrusts it down on his eyelid looking like full force, then at the last second he changes to tapping really daintily.
I so recommend buying all the seasons of ren and stimpy- better than south park, simpsons... There's so much weird on crack humorous stuff.

sincerity is underrated. without it, the chance of your tattoo still being acceptable five years from now drops significantly.

I only ever hear about Irony now on message boards when pseudo intellects try to belittle others into believing they know better than others the true meaning of irony and that they can define it and detect it. While not actually defining or detecting anything.

well ya see the people who get trendy tattoos in the first place are so delusional they wont let themselves believe that their tatts are gay five years later... they'll always look at them and think wow i was badass. otherwise they would all kill themselves. becuase in order for them to think that they actually made a mistake they would had to have had common sense to begin with, which they don't... hence their ultimate retardedness.
