'90's kid: "Aw man! its raining and i wanted to go to the beach today!"
'80's kid: "Um, that's not ironic, that's Alanis Ironic."
'90's kid: "What?"
'80's kid: "Dude, that's just bad luck, it's NOT ironic."
'90's kid: "But Alanis said..."
'80's kid: "Yeah, I know what she said- I've heard the song too. I hate to break it to you, but none of the situations in the song "Ironic" are actually ironic at all. For example, it's not "ironic" to have rain on your wedding day, that's just really fucking shitty luck. It would be ironic if you were an esteemed meteorologist, famous for your accuracy, and you had been planning your wedding for years based on your weather predictions for the most perfect, clear, sunny day, and then, totally contrary to your predictions, a huge storm occurs on the day of your wedding. That would be truly ironic."

Get the ironicaphobia mug.Most Iconic Band- A.K.A Big Time Rush followed four teenagers on the way to fame. They were a real band and had a Tv show, one reason why they were Iconic. Their most popular song “Boyfriend” made you cry and wish they were your boyfriend. Going back to the TV show, they had the best hotel room and every Rusher wanted to live there. A Rusher is a fan of the band such as myself. Their theme song was a song you were proud to know by heart and if you heard someone talking about BTR, you would know that they’re the Most Iconic Band.
