unironically

Without any sarcasm

Unironically means sincerely or without irony—genuinely meaning what you say or do.

The word emerged as internet culture made ironic enjoyment so common that earnest appreciation needed its own label: I unironically love that song.

It often signals that something seemingly embarrassing or uncool is a genuine preference, not a joke.
