But that would imply every bad thing is ironic. I think it's when you have reason to believe the exact opposite should happen. You have no reason to believe a tree will never fall. But if you're obsessed about tree falling on car safety, you'd then have that expectation. That's why most things in the song Ironic are actually coincidences, but a song dedicated to irony being wrong about irony is actually ironic.
