Dude this sucks.

It took nine million three hundred and nine hundred and fifty thousand two hundred and thirty seven previous posts on this board to amount to this pile upon pile upon pile and post-pre-post sincerely ironic meta memery garbage that I can't even understand how what you've done is found to be funny or minimally redeemable in anyway on this bluegreen earth for fuck's sake.

tf is iron knee

>>9395314
trying too hard

>>9395189
Read about Bathmology and never again be fooled by how people use or misuse memes.

>>9395343
that's the point, duh

>>9395437
>i'm not retarded
>i'm just acting retarding

>>9395489
welcome to irony pal

>>9395189
please explain meta-irony

>>9395538
what a newfag posts

>>9395189
Is OP's pic-related a meta-post-ironic meme? Or rather just one of the four above in the grid? It seems to have taken the matter one step further - one giant leap for meme-kind, as it were.

>>9395489
You're layers, my nigga, you're layers... You seem to have mistaken the above anon's development of more layers of irony than yourself for something like ignorance. You see, this is something I like to describe meta-strato mis-correspondence: A "mis-match" or conflict, as it were, in the number of layers of irony between two interlocutors, often resulting in the mistaken assumption by one or more of the interlocutors that the other is in fact on zero layers of irony, and possibly even ignorant of and/or apathetic towards, the meaning, usage, and practice of ironic shitposting (or as older generations of the human race have called it), dialogue, or speech.

The end result: your attempt to "pwn", "humiliate", or "correct" the above anon,in fact amount to nothing more than a failure to recognize his ascension to higher layers of enlightenment that yourself.

... of course, everything I just said is (1) bullshit (except for the fact that above anon does indeed seem to be awares of the ironic dankery), (2) illustrates that faggotry of this whole trend of ironic cultural shit-posting that has evidently been popularized and perpetuated by the Jews in an attempt to undermine Western civilization by promoting cuckish values and race-mixing (or "miscegenation", as (((they))) have called it, in an attempt to make bestiality sound more palatable to little underage sluts), in an attempt to slowly eradicate the superior Aryan race by corrupting it with the sub-human, ape like DNA of the blacks, muslims, and gays.

I'd be up for it if it wasn't just parks and recreation.

>>9396107
Surely we've taken it too far when academics start unironically studying the nature of internet memes?

Stretch it so far that post-meta-sincerity comes into fashion.

I am unsure whatever my life is a lie or not

stop being ironic

What happens to irony if there are no patricians around to assume its existence? When humanity dies, does irony die too?

>>9397585
non-irony dies too, so it's no big deal

>>9396138
saved

>>9395189
there are no technical limits, but at some point parsing all of the layers will take longer than a human lifespan, so there's a practical limit
where that is is anyone's guess

>>9396138
Dude... it's not that serious.

>>9398312
he was ironic you dumbass

I'm gonna write an academic essay on the feline in popular culture, but the closing argument's gonna be a fucking lolcat but instead of saying "i can haz cheeseburger" it's saying "I can haz noose? Life has become a chore, drained of all meaning and pleasure. I can no longer be satisfied by anything except for the knowledge of my impending finale."

THAT would be post-ironic

>>9398366
Irony can only stretch as far as the charade loses its focus. Then the ironical one becomes the unintentional point of irony on the diamond.

>>9398477
Wouldn't that just be ironic? It would look like a meme with the lolcat but the narrative would have changed.

I've been seeing this picture floating around for a while. Can anyone give me examples of all the four kinds of memes?

>>9395196
I, for one, want a pre-ironic revival. Post-irony implies the acceptance of the ironic narrative.

>>9395538
I believe meta-irony is a parody acceptance of pre-irony, in that its assumption is itself an purposefully ironic act. This is different from post-irony, wherein the ironic narrative is the one that is assumed.

>>9398531
But what if that's the intent?

>>9398531
I have to say it again: Your layers, my nigga, your layers...

At this point I'm not sure whose having the irony layering issue here, me or you... Just another instance of a meta-strato mis-correspondance, I guess. I mean, I know you're just being ironic, and I'm just being ironic, and what seems on the surface here to be a disagreement is really just an ironic form of us expressing agreement with one another (or is it?) - but the whole point of my ironic post was that layers and layers of irony is pointless and retarded, and is in no way indicative of anything like "wit", "intelligence", or "subtlety". Of course your feeble brain seems to have been unable to detect to true point of my post because of how masterfully it was hidden behind layers and layers of irony and meta-irony, but you get my point (of course I'm being ironic again).

It's almost as if we've reached such towering layers of irony that the true intention of one's post is often hidden from everyone, including the ironic poster themselves. By that I mean that irony serves as a means of deflecting criticism or precluding the possibility of being exposed as wrong or even completely intellectually incompetent. By hiding you're actual point behind and unclear and indefinite number of "layers" of irony you position yourself in a manner such that you can ultimately defend or ridicule your initial point as you see fit (and nobody will be able to tell the difference because they have no idea of how many "layers" you were actually on).

>>9398860
the most ironic part about this all is that i havent actually been reading your posts
>implying this is ironic
>implying i cant read
>implying replying

>>9398794
Then the trickster becomes the trick.

>>9399091
Ok, ok, im less ironic than you mate. Its not that important anyway.

(Sooooo the jokes on you, my friend)

Irony is like onions

>>9399512
perfect, my parents taught me to laugh at myself by constantly laughing at me
>implying he isn't an orphan
>implying he is

The ironic thing here is that irony isn't really what we're talking about

>>9399456
kek are you attempting to turn your own podt into s meme? If so, I hope youre only doimg it it ironically.

Memeing oneself into a higher state of being.

>>9399635
Not my post.

>>9399630
I believe we've equalized our irony layers.

Things are looking good :)

>>9399651
hey

I fucking hate this board. Fuck you if you even considered contributing to this literal cancer.

>>9398477
No, a proper essay would be dated lolcat images with an unrelated essay pasted over every image, with every noun replaced with a synonym of 'cat'.

>>9399651
layer cake
cake cake cake
craig and rap music
make make make
somethign: abuse it
cake cake cake

>>9395196
They already tried this, it was called New Sincerity and it ended up being just another layer of irony
