Have We Become Too Ironic?
from Believe to See
Our culture has become terribly serious about not taking anything seriously. From satire and postmodernism to the internet's endless layers of irony, we've become afraid to be earnest. Some artists have called for a rebellion against this irony, and renewed emphasis on "New Sincerity." But irony still has its benefits. And too much earnestness has its own set of pitfalls. Matt, Mandy, and Christina explore the benefits and dangers of both earnestness and irony.
