irony-teen 

noun /ˈaɪ.rə.ni ti n/

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.

Jake: bro why did you send that crying soyjak meme in the main chat

Tyler: what the fuck does that even mean

Marcus: bro they talk like they're having a religious experience over a basic meme

Jake: and now there's like 50 replies all talking the same way... "this would kill a victorian child" "i'm literally perishing" "why is this so unserious"

Tyler: should I delete it?

Marcus: nah fuck it, let the irony-teens have their moment. they'll move on to something else in like an hour

Jake: it's just exhausting man, like can't a soyjak just be sad without someone making it into performance art

Tyler: next time I'm just sending it in here lmao
