How do I quickly get across that I like something ironically and unironically?

Linkin Park and Cascada and MCR are great, I love the passion and skill for what it is, and I love how over-the-top the songs can be in fan videos. They’re touching and also hilarious. Listening to them makes me remember good times and bad times. If I’m playing one in the car with someone, I don’t want them to think I’m playing some mean spirited meme playlist or a super serious emotional playlist.

I think most people feel this way so being able to quickly say that I think it’s actually good and ironically good is a way more effective conversation starter than saying nothing about it. It gives them something to agree or disagree with. How do you do that casually?

So far I’ve tried:

“Omg she’s terrible. I love her.” For a tv show character I like. People laughed and agreed with my assessment and it started a whole fun conversation, but I don’t want to call everything I like terrible.

“It’s so cringe haha” about a song I like. Nobody laughed and I came across as insecure.

Is there another phrase or do I just have to hope the conversation lasts long enough that I get a chance to spell it out?

If that’s the case, then why did the phrase “Omg she’s terrible, I love her” do so well?

Any ideas appreciated
