Post irony

I think post irony has seeped into my identity somewhat, because I have become so self aware of what is ironic and mockable about myself, sometimes I even have some poe's law seeping into the mix too, where I act intentionally ironic in a way that people can't even tell is sincere or not. I think though, that once you've reached that level of memes that you start to play on a whole other level of interaction, and thus new memes are born.

Really though, wouldn't it be better if society in general was always post ironic? Then you could always assume irony over sincerity, and any irony which is actually ironic (perhaps what can be called new sincerity), could also be looked at as merely an extention of the meme. Because really what I am proposing is a new society, in which we all become entrenched in one massive meme.

It's not ironic if it's what's to be expected.

Hence the distinction between irony and post-irony.

Then I guess it would be a sort of new sincerity. But then again the levels of irony and post irony mixed in are really too complicated for anyone to say. That is why memes are such a complicated and valuable medium. I mean, have you ever listened to a good comedian say that sometimes, a joke is something that works it's way into your head and taps parts of you that are previously unreachable through your reason, and has the capacity to reach parts of you that are hidden so deep down that it's sort of like driving an ideological rift through you and rattling it so much that it tickles? That is what I like to think about when I think about the way true, honest memes effect a person's brain.
