Can /lit/ think of any examples of post-irony in literature?

Yeah I was waiting for this answer. I can't think of anything that actually makes him post-ironic though. As far as I'm aware he's part of the New-Sincerity movement, which I know some people term post-ironic, but I don't really mean it in that sense.

Are you kidding me? Rodgers was the purest, most sincere shining boy who ever lived.
Post-irony and new sincerity are failures..

I'd say post-irony is the problem and New Sincerity is the failed solution.

Better said than I, certainly.
Sorry but I'm not sure if i really understand post-irony. What exactly is it?
promulgation of stupidly named "movements" without any works that even define them, as a phony way to identify and understand cultural trends, is a bigger problem for literature than any of those supposed movements are

My completely incorrect interpretation: Say something you genuinely mean with an ironic voice.
it's nice to read

No one here is claiming that post-irony is a movement. It's an interesting description of a social phenomena and I'd like to read authors who have tackled the subject.
Also your sentence makes almost zero sense. Are you trying to be New Sincere?

Knausgaard?

it's when a statement is bot ironic and sincere, it's taking the absurd and making it normal
>>7386575
Modern style of art or fashion that follows a phase that was ironic. Being sincere or earnest as opposed to flippant and sarcastic.

>post-irony
Is that cornball reconstruction?
>>7386575
An unintentional response to Gen X's use of sarcasm, a post-ironic comment is one which the speaker actually says what they feel, but with a sarcastic tone. A post-ironic comment is usually accompanied with a wink or some other motion to make the listener feel that the speaker is joking, even though they're not.
>>7386575
new sincerity is a movement on the sincerity-irony dichotomy
post irony completely ignores that dichotomy
>>7386155
whats it called when you think the incessant labelling is counterproductive, neurotic and a circlejerk of autism?
oh wait i dont care
