Your Definition

In simple terms, when something seems ironic but the speaker means it sincerely, or when the speaker is ironically being ironic.

Considered the second level of irony in the Layers of Irony model along with meta-irony, where sincerity is the zeroth layer and irony is the first. Originated in the current metamodernistic/internet era.

Sometimes synonymous with New Sincerity.

Often conflated or confused with meta-irony, and nobody really knows which one was originally which. On the internet post-irony is generally accepted to be levels of irony resulting in sincerity, but sometimes meta-irony is a sub type of post-irony that is specifically ironic irony.

The generally accepted internet definition of Post-irony may be used in three different situations :

1. To describe when something is originally done or posted ironically but over time becomes a habit that is done or posted unironically.

2. To describe a meme when it makes you expect irony, but you get sincerity. As a result the meme is ironic in context as it wasn't what you were expecting, so is funny.

3. To describe a meme that is making fun of a meme making fun of a meme. something is originally posted on the internet because its funny, but after a while it isn't funny anymore; it's then funny to make fun of it. Eventually it isn't funny to make fun of it, but it is funny to make fun of making fun of it.
