      I’m not sure sarcasm is the right word. I’d say it’s more “self awareness”. Cake is a good example. They’re not serious and their music is almost a parody of pop-alt-rock at the time. Radiohead is borderline self-aware; they’re sad and they know it, but not so sad as to be “serious” about it like Dashboard Confessional.
