The new overused word that everyone uses incorrectly. It's become the new "literally."
What it actually means: done/said in a serious way, even though one would expect it to be sarcastic and/or jokey.
Nowadays many people (including me sometimes) use it to put an emphasis on something, substituting it for words like "genuinely," even though they have very different meanings.

Correct usage:
Person 1: Have you ever seen Tommy Wiseau's The Room? I love to watch it with friends just so that we can make fun of it.
Person 2: I actually think it's a good movie, no joke. I watch it unironically.
Incorrect usage:
Person 1: You won't believe this! I unironically just saw Harry Styles eating at a restaurant!
Person 2: You didn't see him ironically? What does that mean? How would you have seen him in an ironic way?

Get the unironicallymug. Literally the worst thing ever. It's still not even funny if your dabbing ironically. But still stop! It doesn't make you cool, it just makes you look like a pretentious bitch.
Ex: "Hey did you see Peter Unironically Dabbingthe other day!?"
"Yea, what a fucking bitch! I'm blocking him on everything."

Get the Unironically Dabbingmug. Someone who dresses as a stereotypical hipster scarves, plaid, uptilt fedora, etc. as a personal preference as opposed to wearing it for the soul reason that it is quintessentially hipster.
"He's been wearing that fedora for weeks now! By George, he's unironically hipster!"
"When I moved to Portland, Oregon, everybody called me a hipster. Little did I know they were unironically hipsters."
"Johnny Deep is unironically hipster. Who else would wear 20 scarves at once?"

Get the unironically hipstermug. adv. Seriously, genuinely. Implies the action is unexpected, or not normally taken seriously.
It has nothing to do with irony.
It is one of the most widespread incorrectly used words nowadays.
It used to be "literally", but at least "literally" is generally used to mean "metaphorically", its opposite.

I unironically love cold pizza!
I unironically went to urban dictionary to submit a definition of unironically, just to vent my frustration from seeing it literally everywhere.

Get the Unironically she mid ashmug. A term used to describe the rare occasion when someone decides to drop their oh-so-ironic facade and speak from the heart. It's a moment of vulnerability that's sure to make everyone uncomfortable, so use it sparingly. It's also a great way to show people that you have emotions too, even if you're too cool to admit it. But seriously, don't overdo it - you don't want to ruin your hipster cred.
I non-unironically believe that the earth is flat and that the moon landing was faked. It's just common sense, really.
