Irony is fine, and at times necessary. I'm talking about people having their taste described as ironic when in fact they might just
like something. No more. No less.
Sincerity in music is also fine, but when it turns into earnestness I tend to run for cover.
Husker Du records are sincere. Sting records are earnest.
