I'm with ya'...irony has to be experienced...it's the poetic justice or the exact opposite of what one expects to happen. But really...it's such a subtle thing. That was the whole controversy with Alanis Morrisette's song "Ironic" because none of her examples truly were. English teachers were all over it and she actually had to publicly apologize for not being correct and then she gave up worrying about it.
with irony the first thing that pops into my head is a story we read in grade 10 english to illustrate, um, irony. it's the one where the wife kills the husband with a frozen leg of lamb then cooks it and feeds the cops with it thereby destroying the murder weapon.
So, the Backstreet Boys aren't cool anymore? When did that happen? I have been practicing their dance routines for months since I got that "Dancin with Darren" tape!!
why don' they all just get on stage , nsynce , backstreet , 98 degrees of crap and bend of a have sex with each other, come bys , it's the millennium, you can't stay in the closet forever, you'll be the only ones left and then what are u gonna do .
what has to happen is all of those boy bands need to be put into a pit. first it will be a free for all to filter out the hard core pussies (i'm looking at howie from the backstreet boys. it would have been nick, but i heard that he bitch slapped paris hilton around.) eventually there will only be two, they will fight to the death. the victor will be awarded promises of success and future glory, but instead will be subject to being locked in a room having to listen to "mmmmm bop" by hanson. either that or being stomped on by a large boot.
"...is an example of irony in its purest form. I think. Irony is always so confusing."
At first I thought I was in love with you...but than I figured out that I was just insansely jealous that you could pull a blog like that off the top of your head.
The Backstreet Boys making fun of cheesy 80's music videos is an example of irony in its purest form. I think. Irony is always so confusing.

Oy...
I'm confused.

Nah, that-s just cynical. And, uh, kind of, sad.
I looked up irony in the dictionary (to confirm that I know what irony is) and now I'm more confused than before. Is that ironic? I don't know!

I'm actually afraid to USE the word "irony" anymore. Alanis screwed me up bad!
I own this 'punk goes pop' cd which I find very ironic. all these bubblegum pop songs being remade by bubblegum punk. ironic.
Good gawd, when are they gonna go away?
Kill me now.
I agree with AB although I want to kill them. The world needs AB more than BB.

THAT was a good story.
You know, 80's music wasn't really all that cheesey. 80's music rocks! I know, because I'm from that era.
Okay, so everyone was getting on the whole "what's irony" thing. I wanted to comment on something else. Is that ironic?
Just like this image of Nick (?) is confusing, is he a man or is he a woman? Haha ...

There will never be a better boy band than FINGERBANG.
All the others are just pretenders.
Clara, that's not irony..that's a really good idea...
LOL!
I'm kidding.

That's just scary!! Make it go away!!

Heck I've hated the backdoor boys since, well since whenever.
