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.

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.

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.

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!

A genre of music, really a supergenre, encompassing many other genres including indie rock, indiepop, twee, britpop, shoegazer, electronic, electro, glitchpop, some singer/songwriter, lo-fi, and older genres including punk, new wave and Madchester. Former terms were "Modern Rock" or "Alternative," but these became obsolete when their meaning was corroded circa 1992. They then became used to describe corporate nu-rock.
Record store clerk 1: "So, I listen to a lot of bands. Like, Flaming Lips, Death Cab for Cutie, Ballboy, Doves, My Bloody Valentine, Royksopp, Adult., Lali Puna, Denison Witmer, Daniel Johnston, The Ramones, The Clash, Talking Heads, New Order and Primal Scream, just to name a few. I feel like it's all one supergenre, but I don't know what you call it."
Record store clerk 2: "You'd call that Post Modern Rock."

Any fragment of today's culture which epitomizes its own functionality; meta-technology. Basically like steampunk things but not so shitty and gay.
Person 1: "Post-modern classics is basically the epitome of technological awesomeness, meean."
Person 2: "What is postmodernism anyway?"
Person 1: "Idk man i'm stoned as fuck."

in recent litreature, an excuse for terrible writing, with no-coherence/sense. sprinkled with pop culture references to things like, corporations, fashionable drugs, celebrity and religion in an attempt to be 'relevant'. usually a lifetimes supply of worthless overdrawn metaphors and name dropping mordern artists. such as escher. oh and name dropping nietszche wins you 20 cool points to wear on your girl pants. ends up being a bunch of self loathing, pretentious garbage.
found in those 'arty' magazines.

"the pain. how we loved our kfc but like a darkness hidden behind the stripped soles of our empty lives, like a broken a kandinsky in a broken frame, our faith was lost in the consumer driven race for our forgotten dreams like hope like doves"
