Anonymous asked: whats the deal with the "ironic" thing? explain to me please

Ugh I get this question way too often.

The irony thing is mostly a joke, but what it means basically is if you’re doing or wearing something to make a statement or as a joke instead of because you actually want to do or wear it.

So if I’m wearing suspenders “ironically” it’s not because I actually like them but because I’m making a statement or because everyone else hates them or for some other reason.

Or to put it in dictionary.com terms: an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected

And if you don’t understand that, sorry, I suck at explaining things and I’m never answering a question about what irony means again.
