The age in which irony is generally seen as having outlived its usefulness; or rather, has become a tic & not an authentic response.

Too bad it's not over yet. Mired in it and unable to get away, squarely in Gen-X, I am rather sick of it. To me it signals an advanced state of Nihilism, best summed by the album title "Nothing matters and what if it did?" --xod
