The generally accepted internet definition of Post-irony may be used in three different situations :
1. To describe when something is originally done or posted ironically but over time becomes a habit that is done or posted unironically.
2. To describe a meme when it makes you expect irony, but you get sincerity. As a result the meme is ironic in context as it wasn't what you were expecting, so is funny.
3. To describe a meme that is making fun of a meme making fun of a meme. something is originally posted on the internet because its funny, but after a while it isn't funny anymore; it's then funny to make fun of it.
