post-modernism isn't defined yet, but these are close:
1. post-post-modernism
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.
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.
2. post modernism
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.
"'Insert random noun' is a socialist construct" translates to "ooh baby, don't you look sexy. Do you like it post modernism style?"
3. post modernism
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.
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.
4. Post-Post-Modern Feminist
A feminist who represents a stage of feministical development coming after post-modernism. Whatever the hell THAT means.

A mere post-modern feminist is capable of achieving the same dazzling heights of assholism as a POST-post-modern feminist.

Feminism as a whole has gotten a tremendous boost from post-modernism.
Feminism without post-modernism is pedestrian. WITH post-modernism it is driving a Ferrari.

5. Post Modern
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
"Oh this room is so Post Modern - how did you achieve all this"?

"we had loads of money and paid a designer"!
6. post-ironic
An unintentional response to Gen X's use of sarcasm, a post-ironic comment is one which the speaker actually says what they feel, but with a sarcastic tone. A post-ironic comment is usually accompanied with a wink or some other motion to make the listener feel that the speaker is joking, even though they're not.
Dan and Judy are laughing.

Dan says, "That's not cool. I'll never look at you the same," and laughs.
Judy asks, "Were you being post-ironic?"
Dan says, "Of course not," and laughs again.
7. Pyuppie
Definition: pyuppie (‘puppy’) n.: an acronym for a ‘post-yuppie’, a pyuppie is a young, educated, disenchanted urban professional who, in lieu of taking a reactionary stance against materialism and pop-culture to cope with feelings of disillusion with the ‘white-collar sweatshop’, adopts a playful acceptance of traditional yuppie values to blend cultural lines through postmodern channels (such as parody and pastiche). Whereas yuppies define themselves through the very social order and materialism they appropriate, pyuppies define themselves more so through their own particular surface arrangement of the symbols provided by yuppie-esque materialism and culture without taking deeper meaning from them. However, unlike various reactionary juxtapositions to yuppie mores (e.g. punk, hipster, green movement, i.e. Chuck Palahniuk’s 1996 novel ‘Fight Club’), pyuppies welcome and convert yuppie symbolism, creating a transgressive existence that is neither overtly high nor low society.
Pyuppie, Neo-Modernist, Modern English Dandy, New Briton, a Bret Easton Ellis follower who lives in a post-industrial neighborhood, reformed rock-star, fashionable Flaneurs, white-collar hipster, neo-hipster, post-modernism, neo-materialism.
