English
Noun
ironic cool (uncountable)
#The status of a genre, or celebrity associated with a genre, that has gone out of fashion for long enough to have been adopted, usually by a younger audience, as fashionable again; to be ironic, the genre or celebrity adopted has to be at odds both with current fashions for that age group and with expectations for non-comformity.
Quotations
2004, When they work, they take turns with the camera — sometimes snatching it from each other — and although Mertâ��s taste may incline a bit more toward campy glamour and Marcusâ��s more toward ironic cool, the results rarely, if ever, betray the dominance of one manâ��s aesthetic over the otherâ��s. — The New Yorker, 27 Sep 2004
