A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rain on your wedding day isn't, in itself, ironic - BUT a song titled "Ironic" getting the very concept of irony wrong, that is the very core of irony, so... well done. (lemmy.world)

As others have pointed out - there are plenty of things in the song that actually are ironic. So what's ironic is people keep complaining about the lack of irony in a song called "Ironic" when it's actually got irony in it.

I forget who it's from, but this attitude reminds me of the quote: "Most of the ingredients in this soup aren't even turds, so what are people complaining about?"
