Zevonism 

Zevonism is the act and art of viewing life as Warren Zevon's songs narrated it. Gritty, dark, not always pleasant or happy, but very real.
Viewing the world with the same sardonic and cynical views, as if one finds life a bad joke but still smiles in spite of it.
"As a practicing follower of Zevonism, I view life as a horribly ironic joke, where-as death will be the punch line."
