The point of meta irony is to muddle the joke making your audience wonder if you’re being serious or joking and ultimately leaving them confused. And maybe even concerned
Meta-Irony is a layer of a joke. First comes “Sincerity/Pre-Irony”, then “Sarcasm/Irony” and last “Post Irony/Meta Irony”
Meta Irony is commonly used in Gen Z humor, because of the world they grew up in which was very bleak.. ie 9/11, constant news updates, having a date for when it’s too late to stop climate change, stock market crash, a generation born into the technology age etc.
Gen Z humor follows a nihilistic approach, nothing matters so who cares what I say or do or actually come off as “cringe”.
Millennials however also had a nihilistic approach but seeped more into nothing matters, so why should I try.. *listens to MCR*
Meta-Irony and Gen Z humor looks for the zany and random because they are so completely immersed in media that they have seen it all and have a need or search for more.

Meta Irony Can sound like:
Omg guys!! Stop calling me a furry haha, it’s not like I have a suit in my closet or anything haha lol, you totally wouldn’t find ears hidden in my bed sheets.. haha who would even think that?? I mean unless… I’m KIDDING!! No but like I mean…
Or using “Rawr XD” because Gen Z knows just exactly how cringey it is and now finds it funny to add into sentences among peers.
Ex: *in a manic happy tone* “yeah I’m just having the peachiest time today at work doing my absolute favorite tasks like blending peanut butter!! No it’s literally the best actually because it comes out so smooth it’s just my favorite when it pours perfectly in the bottle. I’ll keep you updated L-O-L Rawr XD!!

Flirting with someone while explaining to them how you are making your moves, in a way that results in an self-ironic sense of humor and charm, and talks about the elephant in the room to avoid awkwardness.
Dude, Jim just told that girl how he was going to use his moves on her, he is totally meta-flirting.

when two people argue for so long about their plans to hang out that by the time they're done, they've actually just hung out.
Emmett: "Hey, you do anything fun yesterday?"
Derek: "Not exactly. My coworker and I spent an hour deciding whether to go bowling or see a movie. We were so satisfied with the meta-hangout that we just went home."

The decompressing burp that occurs after one eats, smokes, or drinks too much. Relieves the impending sense of vomit and nausea.
"Dude, I think I might have to throw up, I knew I- *burps* Oh there's the meta burp, whose trying to smoke again?"

A dialectic between the Deleuzian Left and the Integral Right.
A dialectic between a pro-nominalist Right Wing and an egoistic Left Wing
A dialectic between a pro-nominalist Right Wing and an egoistic Left Wing
The right tends to oppose nominalism; whereas the left tends to oppose egoism.
The Warden Post publication is the home of the pro-nominalist Right whereas Merion-West publication is home to the pro-egoist Left.
The meta-right consolidates the two vectors together.
