Post-irony

Post-irony (from Latin post (after) and Ancient Greek , meaning dissimulation (or feigned ignorance) is a term used to connote a state in which earnest and ironic intents become muddled, or less commonly, a return from irony to earnestness, similar to New Sincerity.

Examples of post-ironic artwork include South African band Die Antwoord, the British television show Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and the Werner Herzog film Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Noted surreal humor comedian Tim Heidecker portrays a man living a post-ironic lifestyle in The Comedy.
