When something is shrouded in so many layers of irony, is it even ironic anymore? We're so deep in the post post post irony, we'll probably circle back to sincerity soon... Social media has also encouraged a culture of anti-intellectualism, so "high brow" culture feels compelled to signal they're "with it"
Thank you for this! I'll be thinking about how I've experienced the "natural physics of online culture"...
thanks Buggy! yeah I don't know if there's a term for this post-post-irony (meta-irony?) but that's where we're at. and high brow / low brow is now..unibrow?
