Get the post modernism mug.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.)

19th century German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche was a philosopher who was very much against the Post-modernism cult of Western civilization and warned about it. (he called this "the comfortable, but barren society of the Last man".) - Where humans no longer are seen as animals or even human beings, but are brainwashed/cultivated to become (so-called "advanced") robots. (both mentally and physically. See: transhumanism)
And an individual being uncivilized or savage; is seen in the city/society state by civilians as a "laughing stalk" or "painful embarrassment". (i.e. like the derogatory term: "redneck". Used by real-life city-folk; is a good example.)
Disadvantages that Post-modernism has brought to Western civilization:
Counter-culture/subculture
Moral relativism
Neo-Marxist ideas/cultural Marxism
Ego/Social status & Group-Think (ostracization or character assassination; if you think differently from your group/herd)
Social castes
Political correctness
Modern art
Human rights/Civil rights/Feminist movement
Adoption and/or Abortion/Test-tube babies (for eugenics purposes)
State controlled media, public school and government
Superficiality and materialism
It is an anti-individualism collectivist movement; that ironically claims to be a liberating and individualistic movement. (Although, quite the opposite)

Get the Post-Modernism mug.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?"

Get the Post-Modernist mug.A disease that usually infects people born into Upper Class Families or kids born in the very late 20th century in the western world. PMS often times includes the following symptoms
• Entitlement
• An Ignorance of Economics and how the world works
• Lack of any of the 8 fundamental Survival Skills
• absence of any type of spirituality
• Rampant Substance Abuse
• Promiscuous Sex Life
• Thinks the Government can solve society’s problems.
•. Politically Correct
• White People = Bad
•. Uses Subjective References like Snopes to back ideology or worldview
• Uses Idiotic Insults such as Racist or Incel to justify their destructive lifestyle.
Post Modernists ideal goal is to end human suffering, but they fundamentally don’t and never will understand that people develop and grow through trials of hardship and pain. It’s quite amusing to anyone that has more than a spinal cord for a brain that PM’s think college debt and private health care is a crisis. They could be that guy on YouTube who is starving in Africa and forces himself to eat Sand to survive. First World Problems though...

Zachary: Dude! Emily is a beautiful girl!... but wtf is up with her whack statuses on Facebook?
Martin: Post Modernist Syndrome man... she thinks women are enslaved and that White people are inherently evil.
Zachary: Wow... that’s a shame. Guess that’s another miserable old cat lady that will consistently blame the man and Free Market for her awful decisions.
Martin: No responsibility or accountability today man, damn shame.

Get the Post Modernist Syndrome mug.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.
