How to Live Life without Irony
Everybody knows that irony is as many writers have put it, “ethos of this age”. Take the example of a hipster for instance. He haunts every nook and corner of the city, every corridor of the city and is a living manifesto of nostalgia of times that he probably never lived himself. He breeds awkwardness and is a modicum of self-consciousness. However, before he made his choice, he went through a plethora of stages of self-scrutiny.
The hipster is a scholar of a social level and a student of the cool of this age. He even forages what is yet to become mainstream.

Living ironically is the equivalent of hiding in public. However, it is important to live without irony so a few steps to avoid living like that would bode well for sure.
All kinds of fashion and trends are bad so it is better to wear boring, dull or normal clothes. However, don’t dress up so miserably that people think of it as a joke. And under any situation, NEVER watch that scene in “The Devil Wears Prada” where Miranda Priestly enlightens how your ugly T.J Maxx sweater used to be hip once. -

Just throw you computer and smart phone. It is better to stay in touch and communicate with your friends by using handwritten notes. Keep a notebook with you at all times. And don’t discuss mainstream garbage with them anymore.

Be like a man living in the 90s. Don’t act like those people who don’t know what music is. Stick to the original music and care about the environment and AIDS.

If you have friends who like funny things, just stop giving them funny presents. From now on, whenever you plan on giving your friends something, make sure that your gifts are representations of their souls. And, if your friends start giving you funny things, remove them from your facebook profile.

Act like you are still four. Resign from your job and walk around with old stuff with you all the time. If anyone is irritated by the new you, just puke at them.

Everytime you post a picture on social media, make sure that it is the representation of what’s going inside you. And, please avoid making silly faces as they are major turn offs.
