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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

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. (self.showerthoughts)

The whole song is ironic, if you imagine the singer is supposing a story tale quality to her life. It's unexpected (and therefore ironic) if I expect my life to turn out perfectly, but then other normal and expected things occur that prevent my fantasy from materializing.

This. Everything in the song is ironic if you think about it the right way.
