I don't like the ironic tone that our pop culture, in the world, has taken. Everything is 'ironic.' Everything is 'cool.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everything is ironic to me. There are moments I find hysterical, but I'm probably the only one who would find that, except for a few people.
I don't embrace irony, but I do think it's a pre-existing condition; we manage it as best we can.
A vast percentage of the human race is literally not wired neurologically to get irony. Well more than half of humanity takes life at face value, which is to me terrifying.
Brain research tells us that only twenty percent of human beings have a sense of irony, which means that eighty percent of the world takes everything at face value.
Irony is a great tool to deal with things. It's an intellectualization, a way to go above things, which can work.
Nobody gets irony anymore, as we are now living in the post-ironic age. Once George Bush gets a library, our irony is dead.
Irony is the form of paradox. Paradox is what is good and great at the same time.
Irony is the recourse of the weak-minded wimp, I think. I hate bands that deliver their songs with knowing smiles on their faces, so that if those songs fall flat they can say 'Ah well, we never really meant it anyway.' It's so dishonest.
I have wit in my work and a sense of humor, but I do not use irony in any way.
The great thing about irony is that it splits things apart, gets up above them so we can see the flaws and hypocrisies and duplicates.
