In: Irony


Everyone is so ironic. A. ordered a Michael Jackson shirt that just arrived for, quote, irony's sake. Sarcasm I get. Irony? Not so much. Growing a beard and wearing loafers is ironic I guess. Liking cats in sinks and Fuck You, Penguin, http://www.fupenguin.com. or does that just make you hip? And does this make Me old as the hills?

"Hipster irony is predicated on the fear that if you take a stand and claim to actually like something, you are opening yourself up to criticism by those who do not. The work-around is to only like things ironically, to never actually come out in support of anything." That sums it up. Courtesy of www.thetartan.org/2007/9/24/forum/hipsters.
