Post-Modernism
A pretentious movement that is widely followed by hipsters and cultural Marxists. It is the reason why everyone views
Western civilization as a slave society.Post-modernists generally view anything that isn't seen as "civilized" (in their view) as unsophisticated and unrefined. (aka: savage or brutish) and thus, should be shunned/destroyed. (these are the worst people imaginable; because they believe they are smart - but take intelligence vs. stupidity, too literally.)The full implications of Post-Mordernism are depicted very well in the 1930s dystopian book by
Aldous Huxley, called Brave New World. (an imaginary state where everything is perfect; but because everything is "perfect", the world actually becomes a dystopia rather than a utopia. Because of the religion of
post-modernism ("perfection") by civilians in the new world - The more "perfect" the society gets, basically the more imperfect and dystopian it "actually" gets.)

Example:
Post
modernist: You are a terrible person because your ancestors took part in the oppression of minorities!
White guy: Cool, my ancestors knew peoples' places in society. You do know that
post-modernism is delaying progress right?

Origionally an architectural style based on the philosophical position that progression in the arts need not necessarily be a linear process.
Post Modernism is the acknowledgment that nothing is, or will remain truly modern. One statement made in the name of
Postmodernism is that History has ended in a cul-de-sac. Proponents of Post Modernism try to provide an interesting mixture of disparate styles and artistic references borrowed from the past. It is difficult for theorists to end the era of
postmodernism since postmodernism seeks to be the destroyer of theoretical positions and therefore its own demise is merely a Post Modern concept. Now covers all areas of the art world. For more info, see some art books
Example:
"Oh this room is so Post Modern - how did you achieve all this"?
"we had
loads of money and
paid a
designer"!

a term used most often in
academia to describe an event, work of literature, style of art, or particular way of thinking in an extremely
vague manner referring to a virtually
unidentifiable era or quality that existed at some point after the "modern" period ended.
Example:
i wrote a paper called "
Post Modern Perspecives on Female Genital
Mutilation" so full of academic gobbely-gook that I believe I got an A just because neither myself nor
the professor clearly understood what it was about.

A
mating ritual involving an
intricate non-melodic vocal performance. The
similarity between this mating ritual and language used to communicate information is purely coincidental and has lead to much confusion.
Alan Sokal's recent attempt to communicate with post modernists had mixed results; the post modernists attempted to mate with Alan, but no offspring have yet been reported. Exactly how post modernists reproduce, and if they can breed with humans is still being researched.
Example:
"'Insert random noun' is a
socialist construct" translates to "
ooh baby, don't you look sexy. Do you like it post modernism style?"

The
school of thought beyond that of
post-modernism. Followed by post-post-post-modernism, which can either repeat back to
modernism in a more "on-purpose"ful manner, or just make absolutely no sense at all. Ever.
Example:
Modernism: Writing something clever and witty on a billboard.
Post-Modernism: Writing the words "something clever and witty" on a billboard.
Post-Post-Modernism: Writing a billboard on some words.
Post-Post-Post-Modernism: Nailing a herring to a wall and punching it with a racquetball from 4-5 feet away while reciting
Dostoyevsky quotes.

a loose term describing an art movement with a similar mind set and group of ideals. characteristics of post modernism may be characterized by liberal arts, fluff, anti tradition, anti mainstream, anti
classical art, anti commercial, anti establishment, simplicity, intellectual thought, anti realistic.
post modern art usually deals with
conceptual ideas meaning less focus on traditional beauty and more focus on ideas and innovation. it may seem dry to many people and is often labeled pretentious. post modernism is a response to older art styles.
Example:
post modernism is a movement rejected by the
passive mainstream because it forces the audience to think too much.
in essence it is created for more of an aggressive
artsy crowd.

Also known as 'meta-modernism'. An inevitable categorical representation of our 'present' cultural age. It can be defined as a wide-ranging set of developments in
critical theory, philosophy, architecture, art, literature and culture which are emerging from and reacting to
post-modernism. Essentially, anyone that uses this term 95% of the time is a complete and utter pretentious and severely lost
fuck-wit who views anything 'contemporary' with the same degree of fascination and reverence as anyone would today in context of artistic expressions before the 20th century. A million
layers of irony and meta-observation coat the conceptual fabric of these peoples world perspective; nihilistic and empty speculations centred upon nothing comprise of their reality.
As can be deduced from the flowery and vague speculative language apparent (which is equally reflected within its actual content), meta-modernism is an aimless groping in the dark of an empty abyss, which cannot even be properly classified as a represented as 'nothingness', as it supposedly transcends all limitations of logical categories whilst at the same time remaining bound within them in a limbo state of infinite negation, construction, and the both synthesised into an infinite spiral which extends out into an unfathomable state of
incalculable layers of irony.
Example:
Max: Hey
Fenton, I just noticed that in your kindle library you had some
post-post modernistic literature? Wtf is that shit?
Fenton: Ahh I'm glad you asked.
Post-post modernism can be described in a
nut-shell as an attempt of liberation of
the inertia resulting from a century of modernistic idealogical naivety and cynical insincerity of its antonymous bastard child. It can be viewed as a movement in respect of transcending the super-imposed false dichotomies impressed upon our culture in hope of embracing a union of scientific-poetic synthesis and informed naivety of a magical realism of which exists -
Max: Lol wtf? What are you trying to say?
Fenton: Haha idk, it took me a couple hours to memorise and recite all the words and fuck you put me off but! I'll go from the beginning and recite this shit from scratch.
Max: Go to the fucking art-centre and you'll get all the chicks saying that shit, fuck man lets go tonight.
Fenton: Why do you think I bothered learning it cunt? Fuck yeah let's get some pussy tonight!
