I wonder if Irony is the first stage of a intellectual flirtation. I find the most compelling examples offer a sincerity in conflict with competing thoughts.

This isn't exactly a "movement" per se, but Oliver Traldi's take on postmodernism seems relevant: "The “playful” terms and topics of the postmoderns retain a great deal of currency in academia and in social justice more broadly.

Metafilter pioneered the SJW movement in the 00's. It started out ironic and then became sincere. 4chan pioneered the alt-right movement in the 00's. It started out ironic and then became sincere.

Comedy in many cases has moved from the ironic to the sincere. TV has transitioned from cribbed "Seinfeld" shows to "the Office" knock offs. Stand-ups have moved from the shocking to the confessional. David Foster Wallace shared this insight in interviews during the early aughts.
