I found this to be odd

[Mr. Blonde]

So i'm reading May's issue of Stuff magazine, and there was a column in it titled something to the effect of "50 thing's we're deathly afraid of". A little ways down the list I see "That noone will realize that our mustache is really ironic"

Is there some kind of a saying or phrase that I just don't know about, or what? Ironic Mustache on the boards is the first i've ever heard that combination before.

I don't know, I've never really heard the phrase before either.
But I suppose if I had to come to a conclusion on whether my beard is ironic, I would say yes.

how exactly can a mustache be ironic?

[Mr. Blonde]

I have no idea, that is all they spoke of it.

I did a little research on google and it seems to be a punk/emo thing. If you write music and wear trucker hats, there's a good chance you've tried to grow an "ironic mustache."

[God's Substitute]

but how's an ironic moustache something to be deathly afraid of ?

i'll add another adjective: fatal

so it's fatal ironic moustache

[Ironic Mustache]

This is totally gay. I thought I had a completely random and impossible screen name and not only has it been done before, but its an EMO THING????

UPDATE: I've now down some research of my own and found it to be a known, used phrase, but still can't find any real definition of it. I haven't seen any connection with emo yet, which is good news.

When you wear something stupid to be funny, it is called ironic. A t-shirt that says "gettin lucky in kentucky" or the like, a mullet, or a rediculous mustache perhaps.

Seems like I always find the phrase in connection to popular punk things (trucker hats and whatnot)

shawn and I are forming an extreme mall punk ironic mustache black nail polish golf emo black bangs in the face screamo bromo band...want in?

What the fucking retards refuse to understand is that this "parody" was already done to death years ago. You might as well grow a fucking "ironic mustache" and put on a trucker hat while you're typing this shit out.

Hey, when is an "ironic mustache" just stupid and lame looking?

if you write good songs, who cares?

Here's what you'll be looking for: an ironic trucker-cap, old-school Pumas, a too-small sweater, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Miller High Life, a high school sports T-shirt, a hoodie, a white-boy afro, an 8-foot-tall guy, a 4-foot-tall girl, a circa-1968 Mick Jagger haircut, old-school Chuck Taylor, old-school Vans, an ironic mustache, an über-hot Asian hipster (female), an über-hot Asian hipster (male), a "grandpa" (a hipster over 30), a purse with a skull on it, a guy wearing a cabbie hat, a tattoo of a star, chunky black sunglasses, that '70s ski-vest, a blogger with a digital camera, and Parliament cigarettes.

Apparently there's something called 'hipster bingo' which includes the term 'ironic mustache'

[Ironic Mustache]

Well then. My ironic mustache handle is really just a silly ass mustache used to be funny. Oh well, I guess I can deal with that.
