postmodern depression

The feeling that plagues art students when they realize all the work they have ever done is postmodern and not as awesomely original as they first thought. They may find themselves thinking, "How can I do something that's not postmodern?" Which is sadly the most postmodern move they could make because postmodernism is a critique of previous art movements and or cultural phenomena.
girl 1: aw man I just realized the dress I decorated with smiley faces from those plastic bags I collected is sooo postmodern.

girl 2: Yeah analyzing the facial differences of the smiley faces found of a common place consumer product is pretty postmodern I would say

girl 1: what do I do to not be postmodern then?

girl 2: Sadly there is nothing you can do. But on the bright side at least your not a hipster who is oblivious to how postmodern all their unoriginal art is. Don't get into postmodern depression now cheer up!

girl 1: Postmodernism sucks man but I love it at the same time :(

The feeling you get when you haven't had access to the internet (i.e. facebook and twitter) for a long time, like several minutes.
(A family is on vacation)
Mom: Johnny, come to dinner!
Johnny: Fucking not hungry!
Mom (to dad): What the hell is wrong with him?
Dad: He's got postmodem depression; he can't update his facebook status.
Mom: But we have only been here for 15 minutes.

postmodem bipolar depression

Unlike the previously mentioned in Urbandictionary 'postmodem depression' which is the feeling you get when you haven't had access to the internet for a long time, like several minutes. Postmodem bipolar depression is the feeling you get when your internet connection keeps going off: when it's up you feel happy and excited; when it's down, you feel sad, lonely and helpless. This can happen several times in a day.
I haven't seen your sister for days: I've heard she's suffering from postmodem bipolar depression.
