Post-noobs are a broad type of internet personae that emerged from the noob movement of the 1990s and 2000s, in which internet users departed from the simplicity and traditionalism of noob culture to adopt a variety of avant-garde sensibilities and diverse influences. Inspired by noobs' energy and ethic but determined to break from noob cliches, artists experimented with various media sources, novel posting, reposting and production techniques, and ideas from art and politics, including critical theory, modernist art, cinema and literature.
