post-irony 

Irony beyond the scope of existential (postmodern) irony. Usually falls into the scope of aesthetic nihilism (skeuomorphism (memes)) or ironic consciousness (conscious irony).
Memes and their predecessors, GIF's, are platforms for post-irony if not post-ironic themselves.

metamodernism 

Convergence between symbol and irony (time). As opposed to convergence between function and irony (form) in Hypermodernism and existentialism and irony (nihilism) in Postmodernism.
In metamodernism the infinity symbol literally resembles linear time moving through a cyclical time paradigm--it is no mere representation of a concept.

4Chan nationalism

Populism virtualized upon false social nodes, ie. filter bubbles. Populism that appropriates attributes of Japanese hyperrealism including anime LARPing, message boards (2Chan, etc.), and ironic skeuomorphs (memes). Skeumorphic, emo, or filter bubble nationalism.

anarcho-individualism

Anarcho-individualism preaches the supremacy of the individual over the state
Reciprocity network in which the subjective (demand-oriented) value, data, and unique attributes of an object--physical, virtual, and chronistic (time-oriented)--can be traded independently of each other on a blockchain-based ledger. Anarcho-cash
Ripple is an ancash platform in which you can not only purchase plane tickets, you can trade more abstract attributes such as how long the plane will remain airborne.

metamodernity 

A synthesis of past and future--specifically retrofuturism and neotraditionalism ((inverted time regression (recursion))--to create a resonant eternal present; an “end of history; a completion of the Hegelian dialectic. Founded on recursive synthesism, it unites the physical and metaphysical; the existential and ideal; and the personal and universal into a single mythos.

Metamodernity is the successor to hypermodernism in which time is the final skeuomorph. In metamodernity time is manifested by three aesthetics: 1.Retro-modernism (1950’s motif) 2. Electro-industrialism (1980’s retrofuturism) 3. Object-infrastructure unity (2080’s)

Metamodernity has three primary technological motifs: human-agnostic consciousness, object-infrastructure unity, and information-energy unity.

In the cultural paradigm, each part is considered equivalent to the whole. This is in contrast to hypermodernism in which the part (attribute (imitation (skeuomorph))) is GREATER than the whole.

Metamodernity transcends the convergence/intersectionalism/monotheism/linguistics-centered world of logos to connect singularity with duality (the ultimate synthesis). This is called the Vikaasian Paradox. Metamodernity unites Eastern philosophy with Western aesthetics which are now believed to display implicit cyclical time. Academia returns to mythos in a final triumph of philosophy over science.
Metamodernity is a cultural reconciliation of the future-past and the past-future.
