the age of sincerity is now branded "post-irony" by bitter nihilist millennials
truly incredible

No, but since playing videogames is all I do in my spare time I will probably end up dating one anyway. Probably over 30 and not particularly good looking one either.

If it was sincere, they'd write some fucking jokes for what is ostensibly a comedy series.
>>
That wolf did a good job raising those boys

People that think the show is sincere scare me. It's explicitly a parody of home improvement and the shitty ultra Christian tape series the creator laughed at as a kid.

I know people were talking a lot about media literacy a year or so ago but it genuinely is being lost.

so you've never seen King of the Hill
>>
>>729863212
Imagine watching King of the Hill and thinking it’s not one of the most masterfully subtle comedies ever made. It doesn’t need punchlines every 10 seconds because the entire premise, cadence, and delivery are the joke. Hank saying "that boy ain't right" hits harder than an entire season of canned-laughter sitcoms.

Post-irony and the "whimsy" movement are already on their way out, it's
>sincere
>irony
>post-irony
>meta irony
And it'll only get worse. The way they understand sincerity is like a spearchucker looking at a plane.

You are sincerely retarded

Thanks for your thoughtful rebuttal, you sure made me and thousands of other people who've observed this look like dribbling clowns.

Haha, you clowns!

>>729862483
It's funny because it captures an essence of a very particular, real type of person. It feels like its directly inspired by real interactions the creator has had with like low IQ mormons or something.

It's based on a series of church-targeted VHS tapes
The whole mom's ghost angle is really blatant if you've ever seen one of them

>>729862483
It's discomfort comedy, specifically in the form of satire of saccharine family-values TV propped up by fundamentalist Protestants who try to will a world built on their principles into existence by stilted, unrelatable example. If you can interpret it through that lens, it's funny.

But, if you watch the show and can't help but see an awkward family of clearly retarded, but nevertheless golden-hearted manchildren being wrangled by their rapidly aging father, you won't think it's funny. That's the difference.

Post-irony and new sincerity ostensibly mean the same thing, but it's more nuanced than that. Post-irony tends to refer to the forced/unwilling abandonment of irony culture due to it largely being co-opted by jews to intentionally obfuscate meaning in art and lubricate the disinfo-to-extremism pipeline. Post-ironic culture doesn't embrace sincerity; it rather acknowledges that the irony well has been poisoned and is wary of anything resembling a sincerity movement also being part of the same psyop.

So, while you are correct in your observation that >>729862483 is a bitter millennial, his rejection of HHYG isn't because it is new sincerity media, but conversely because he feels like it fails some sort of new sincerity purity test. That nuance is in the intent of his embittered use of "post-irony" to describe it. Extrapolating further, this is reinforced by his specific complaints about it being ugly and meaningless, implying that he thinks this is done intentionally as a means of sabotaging new sincerity by associating those principles with something that people are more likely to reject on its surface. In other words, someone like you who touts HHYG as sincere has "fallen for it" in the same way as Facebook boomers who shed tears over Charlie Kirk AI propaganda bot posts. This is, of course, bullshit.

When was the last time this was a thing? The 70s? Only the oldest of millennials who were raised on gen X media could relate to this if it were true. I don't buy it.

I did but it turns out that guy who was like a brother to her and just a friend was her boyfriend of 4 years. Best taste of any women I ever spoke to IRL so it will always sting a bit even if she was ugly in the face (hot bod though)

Sexless zoomers have never known anything except corporate monetized soulless slop starting with the Star Wars prequels.
They have never in their lives experienced anything that wasn't a rehash of a sequel of a reboot of a franchise so far removed from the Zoomer as to be alien, even as he perceives this lukewarm garbage to be "the original" or "the good version", he has never in his life known happiness, or quality, or things made simply to express ideas or feelings simply to enrich others.
Everything must be watered down for the zoomer, packaged into neat boxes that are socio-culturally acceptable within the gender queer otherkin cultural marxism that has rendered him a sexually non-viable serf, never to own anything, always to work for the betterment of the ones enslaving him, never to have sex or joy or one iota of meaning in his bleak, repackaged, corporate approved life.

>>729865209
The braindead zoomer fuck has allowed his garbage brain to erode into nothing by social media, doomscrolling, and never learning how to actually read or think or be human.
Complex ideas confuse, befuddle, and enrage the zoomer because to have any comprehension of nuance might allow him to understand that actually the world wasn't always this way, it actually used to be good before he was born, and is worse for having him in it.
He has been robbed of any capacity for comprehension, or critical thinking, or reasoning, and thus will be FOREVER mired in the misery he so justly deserves.

to me post-irony always felt like something that tries to one-up irony, not sincerity
it's like... being sincere ironically because it ironically is more ironic than regular irony

>I FEEL like this word means
The anon you're talking to is literally schizophrenic and is ranting about jews and sex.
Words have meanings.
Post-irony has two forms: the blending of irony and sincerity, and meta-irony.
That is not a feeling I have, it is how those words work.

God I hate you moron children
>>
>>729865878
post-irony as in post-ironic media, not post-irony "the word"
although
>the blending of irony and sincerity
is pretty accurate to what i said, it's just that it is always done for the sake of irony, or at least it seems like that's always the intent
>>
>>729866042
>post-irony as in post-ironic media, not post-irony "the word"
There is no distinction. That is not how language works.
I hope your children die in a car fire.
