ironicool

The level of coolness achieved by embracing an object or attitude that is deemed uncool or outdated by the masses. Striking the ironicool balance is a delicate proposition. Going overboard is quite common and frequently attempts at ironicool lead to failure when they appear to be forced or exhibit over-effort.

Not to be confused with hipsterism.
Check out that guy's "wolf howling at the moon" t-shirt. That things is crazy ironicool!

When did everyone start wearing boat shoes? I remember when they were ironicool.

Ironic consciousness

Irony at the level of consciousness. Self-actualized consciousness counterposed to its own existence. Consciousness as a self-actualized linearization of time that originates from cyclical time origins. Inability of consciousness to consciously traverse linear time due to the very nature of its existence.
Ironic consciousness means we cannot travel backwards in time.

post-ironic

adjective: When one's ironic appreciation of something becomes genuine, usually due to either prolonged exposure or the enjoyment derived from how amusingly terrible it is.
At first, I thought Pitchfork's inclusion of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" at #21 on their top 500 tracks of the 2000s list was just hipster irony... But now real hipsters post-ironically recognise it for the great song it is, go figure.

ironing

Deliberate substitution for irony. Stems from a quote by Bart Simpson in the episode "Grift of the Magi". Rarely appears outside the phrase he uttered: "the ironing is delicious".
Bart: Lisa's in trouble. Ha! The ironing is delicious.
Lisa: The word is "irony".
Bart: Huh?
