The idea that there is no objective meaning, only subjective meaning, the meaning one brings to a thing, irrespective of the intent of the author, or of the Author, or of reality.

simply put, anything connected with yuppie hipster culture.
may it be architecture you see in gentrified areas (such as the god-ugly condo towers) or the pretentious wank that get's praised on Sundance, Pitchfork, whatsoever...

"the fabolous buttplug and the unbearable waking of armin meiwes" is a paradigmatic examination of transgressive existentialism of the postmodern deconstruction of precannibalist postanalfisting.
