Its not more of a coincidence as that suggests it is still a bit ironic and its not! He's stupid and doesn't understand irony >:(.
And I wouldn't even call it a coincidence. He's wearing a Behemoth tshirt and he's listening to their music... which you'd expect seeing as he likes them enough to own a tshirt and wear it.
Point duly noted.
But yeah, irony is when the opposite of the expected happens.
Example: Ponos hears new Dragonforce song, and buys their discography. THAT would be ironic.
Example: You're wearing a Behemoth shirt, even though you despise their music.
Example: Firehouse burns down.
Etc.
Not ironic: I'm not using a chair and my knees hurt from kneeling.
Not ironic: It's raining outside and I'm wet.
Not ironic: I saw "X" live and I wore an "X" shirt, making me That Guy.
Not ironic: I lost my wallet on the way to lunch.
