Post-post modernism 

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!

modernism 

A state in which irony becomes existentially externalized; usually through the introduction of new technology which is a skeuomorph of prior technology e.g. factories replacing farms in the era of late 1880's industrialization.
Modernism shifted parody from the literary to the existential; and heavily foreboded the existential self-parody of postmodernism.

post modernism

Post-Modernism 

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)

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
