And you go on thinking you know what goes on in other people's minds, I guess? You started the sweeping incorrect generalizations. /shrug

Are you the OP, though, or just want someone to antagonize? :o No sarcasm here, I'm honestly curious.

"Liking something ironically" is like preemptively apologizing for liking something that's not mainstream to like, I think. It's a snobby phrase. Following your example: I know Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up is a simple tune heavy on synths that a lot of people deem "bad", and I don't actively seek it out either, but you'll never see me apologizing for dancing to it or singing along. If it's fun, it's fun, no matter the quality. *shrug*

I'm the OP.

And maybe it means that to you, but there are plenty of people who aren't so focused on hipsterism or anti-hipsterism that like things ironically. I like lots of movies that I know are objectively awful and unfunny because I like watching them to mock them. I know they're not actually funny or succeeding at what they were going for. Hence, I enjoy watching those ironically. "Mainstream or not" has nothing to do with it unless you were already thinking it. I wasn't, why were you?

It wasn't meant as a deep statement of my beliefs at first, heh. I said it in a lighthearted way, as one would say "ok I know these guys are awful but I won't apologize for liking them!". It was after you engaged that I started thinking more about it.

I can get "liking ironically" if you mean it as "liking [it] for not succeeding at what they were going for", though! ^^ I'm always watching "so bad it's good" stuff with my friends, it's great. I just meant that I'm not ashamed of enjoying "objectively bad" stuff :3 I'm sorry if I made this such a big thing.

If you think about it, enjoying things ironically, or for how awful they turned out to be or how hard they failed at the genre, is the entire point of the shitstreams that people do around here, lol.

I was originally trying to specify that stuff like the shitstream wouldn't count, since it's not enjoyment of the material for the material itself, so it was pretty key, that's all.

It's alright, I'm glad we talked. o/ (I like the shitstreams too, ahaha.)
