Interesting quote related to this from Ortega y Gasset writing in 1968:

I much doubt that any young person of our time can be impressed by a poem, a painting, or a piece of music, that is not flavored with a dash of irony

(The Dehumanization of Art)

This guy had some unconventional political perspectives I’m at odds with, which I feel the need to provide a disclaimer for before I go quoting him in my essay, but his statement here, to me, rings too painfully true to not include. If anyone is interested in further reading spurred from this quote, I would forward them to Modern Man in Search of a Soul by C. G. Jung, which I suspect to be a key source of inspiration for the specific ideas articulated here.
