Enjoying something ironically is if I expected to hate it but enjoyed it instead
Or if I claimed to enjoy it but actually didn't
Or if some hypothetical audience knew I should hate something I actually enjoyed at the time because of information they have and I don't
I mean I guess I could do the middle one but why

Dramatic irony.
Doesn't actually apply in real life.
But it's like Oedipus spending the whole play looking for the guy who killed his father, the previous king.
But the audience knows it was him all along.
Because Greeks didn't give a damn about spoilers.

Only the second time you watch it.
The first time it's just a tweest.

Anyway the point is if I was dead and spending my afterlife arguing about the definition of irony on a weird social media app
And someone knew about that but couldn't tell me
That would be ironic
