Postmodern gothic

A sub-genre of gothic literature that features postmodern undertones. Postmodern gothic novels are often reflective of society post 2000, highlighting fears of the loss of self, commercialism, terrorism and technology. The term "postmodern gothic" was not in use much until recent years, and became especially popular when used to describe the fictional novella "Bittersweet Symphony" by author Rebecca McNutt. Postmodern gothics are especially popular with hipsters, up-and-coming-lawyers and businessmen.
"Wow, man! This postmodern gothic is so eye-opening, the way it describes the evils of advertising and corporate greed!"

"I prefer legal thrillers over gothics, especially postmodern gothics. I hate books set in the 21st Century."

Postmodern Urban Romanticism

A literary and artistic movement in the United States that incorporates elements of second -generation English Romantic literature and philosophy with postmodernist artistic sensibilities. Informed by the social sciences, works in this genre are typically situated against a landscape of urban and psychological decay. Particularly prominent in the midwestern United States.
"It could be argued that many intellectuals who write new formalist verse for poetry slams, or make philosophy memes are incorporating elements of postmodern urban romanticism."
