Is this right?

Not being ironic is being ironic in the Morissette sense, but not being ironic is not "being ironic in the Morissette sense".

Using incorrect examples of irony on purpose is being ironic in the Morissette sense, unless you believe that she was accidently incorrect in her examples of irony. However, if you do think that she used the term incorrectly, and yet you use her examples of irony, then you are being correctly ironic, but only if you are pointing out someone else's misuse of irony.

I think. I could be wrong.

Is it ironic that an English teacher could be giving incorrect examples of what he think is irony?

What was this thread about?

Definitely not a hipster.

The skill of being a hipster is pretending to be geekier than you actually are. This guy's just a geek.

Also, he's just incredibly British and that in itself can be mistaken for being a hipster.

I get labelled a hipster now and again because I am in my 20s and wear brogues and a wax jacket but I just see it as being British.

I mean, come on... We are guitarists for crying out loud; we have an insatiable fixation with vintage aesthetics and "mojo".

Aren't we all a little bit hipster?

If you wear thick rimmed glasses you're a hipster = TDPRI logic.

+1. Lacks precision: "thick rimmed glasses" is a necessary but not sufficient condition for hipsterism.

No Polaroid Land camera = not a hipster. :D

Not a self-righteous, self-absorbed, snotty little twit with really bad fashion sense = not a hipster.

I saw all these people kinda dress the same , no not the suit and tie johns on the mass transit train. People in my.neighborhood.Single speed bikes ironic dress code ,standing around the local coffee bar looking superior (insecure?) Some body told me the were hipsters.....Ohhhhh? O.K. kinda like the slackers or the part time punks, or the week end hippie, teeny boppers. O.K. posers. Like blues posers or emo posers. It tok a while for me to get it.
It's harmless and easy to cheap shot.
