Stop The Irony. Because Bad Can Never Be Good.

Okay, things have gone too far. Irony was fun for a while. I enjoyed it as much as the next person. But championing shit TV shows like The A Team is going too far. Otherwise intelligent people feel the hipsterish need to constantly do this. Like buying a seventies brand of powdered dessert like Angel fucking Delight, which tasted like chemical crap when it first came out. Or playing dreadful boy bands at a party as an "ironic counterpoint".

I'm trying to stop too. But it's hard. I was in the supermarket when I noticed Vesta Curry. Now, when I had this as a kid back in the 70s it was garbage. But when I saw it again, I had an almost unstoppable need to buy it. Not because it tasted good. I wanted it so I could tell my friends I had bought it, and bask in the ironic post modern retro cool vibe. Like hipsters who wear t-shirts of cheeseball movies so their friends can look at in in arch disdain, and share the in joke.Where are the Citizen Kane or City Lights t-shirts?

  The all too popular refrain of "so bad it's good" is used to mask bad taste. Because bad shouldn't be fun. Because if you can talk for twenty minutes about the worlds worst movies and have never seen the worlds best movies, something is wrong.
 
And the danger is, if you live your live in a constant state of ironic detatchment, a hipsterish need to take nothing at face value, then how can you actually enjoy something? Without reservation?
So, I think a no irony day should be mooted. When people can actually enjoy things. When people can communicate with each other honestly and openly. Sincerely. Fuck Irony.

The A Team. It is crap.
