Definition: A digitally native teenager or young adult (typically 16-23) whose online persona is built on performative irony, detached humor, and carefully curated "chaotic" behavior. Irony-teens communicate primarily through layered sarcasm, absurdist memes, and meta-commentary that signals cultural literacy while maintaining emotional distance. They often adopt exaggerated personas or "bit" accounts that blur the line between genuine expression and performance art.
