meta-irony

The point of meta irony is to muddle the joke making your audience wonder if you’re being serious or joking and ultimately leaving them confused. And maybe even concernedMeta-Irony is a layer of a joke. First comes “Sincerity/Pre-Irony”, then “Sarcasm/Irony” and last “Post Irony/Meta Irony”Meta Irony is commonly used in Gen Z humor, because of the world they grew up in which was very bleak.. ie 9/11, constant news updates, having a date for when it’s too late to stop climate change, stock market crash, a generation born into the technology age etc.Gen Z humor follows a nihilistic approach, nothing matters so who cares what I say or do or actually come off as “cringe”.Millennials however also had a nihilistic approach but seeped more into nothing matters, so why should I try.. *listens to MCR*Meta-Irony and Gen Z humor looks for the zany and random because they are so completely immersed in media that they have seen it all and have a need or search for more.

Meta-irony

Abstract:

A joke which can not be considered either sincere or ironic.

When used as a feedline (1) the idea is to judge the audiences viewpoint, and respond to it. When used as a punchline (2) meta-irony works as a mirror, like in abstract art, inviting the audience to make up their own mind if the joke was serious or ironic, while leaving the meta-ironic person/comedian invulnerable to criticism because their viewpoint is not clear.

1) "Women are like dogs"

To an offensive reception - You can follow with; "They clean food from the kitchen floor" or "they will always be afraid of burglars"

To an amused reception - You can follow with; "They can't stop being bitches" or "they bark more at other bitches" or

"They will only shut up once you feed them"

2) " Trans women's pussies are like vegan-burgers - Thats not blood that beet juice "

Some may think - "Well, veganism and trans are both progressive issues. So the comparison is true"
Some may think - "It is true that trans women's pussies are not real pussies, and thus trans women are not real women"

Conclusion.

A meta-ironic joke reveals nothing about the users viewpoint, and is intentional.

nb. This should not be confused with a purely ineffective ironic joke, or with English dry humour where the idea is to try to be taken seriously revealing the naïvety of the audience.

Example:
"He likes meta-irony he is not a communist. He is not a capitalist either, don't take him too seriously he was being meta-ironic"
