I think it's really problematic that everything is now seen through an ironic tinge; it just makes it very difficult for people within the arts to be entirely sincere about things without looking like they just haven't thought it through properly. The problem with irony is it assumes the position of being the end result, from having looked at it from both sides and having a very sophisticated take on everything, so the danger of eschewing irony is you look as though you just haven't thought hard enough about it, and are just being a bit simplistic.
