Postmodern

What is Postmodern?


1.

A word one often uses in reasearch or other academic writing while in the careful art of bullshitting. In other words, when you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about or want to say, you can always randomly throw the word "postmodern" somewhere in there to sound eloquent, and so teachers will think you know what the hell you're talking about.

"It is my ardent belief that the postmodern contempoary quasi-political agenda of corrupt governmental authority have positively altered the postmodern macroeconomic state of affairs postmodernly."

See po mo, post modernism, bullshitting, republican

2.

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.

Postmodern born-again Christianity is viewed by many as the enemy of Biblical inerrancy.

See objectivist

3.

The perfect (maybe) word to write about in Urban Dictionary because everything you say about it is encompassed by it. So if I were to say that Postmodernism is a goat, I am of course, right (left). If I say that Postmodernism is an art movement based on the unsurity of a declining art market of the 90's, I'd be correct (whatever that means). Eat your Captain Crunch, look at a Madonna video and drink a glass of Tang. Reality is media. Reality is simulation. Life is Art.

My professor tried to explain postmodernism but got hung up on what words to use. He kept losing track of the meanings and saying things that nobody could understand. Finally when he was unable to speak any language at all, we all understood and went home but couldn't find it, because home is in the film "The Wizard of OZ".

See goat, madonna, tv, derrida, architecture

4.

any art that is aware of the fact that is in, in fact, art.

or more cynically, any art that is aware of the fact that it is, in fact, product.

Postmodern is a term that therefore refers to violations of whatever laws or theories or traditions or established thoughts even before they were created. Postmodern is whatever you want the truths to be. They will always be true to you anyways. So what? Who cares! This is deviance.

Postmodern mind-buggler: You are a stranger. Are you a part of the society of not?

See postmodern, deviance, whatever, my way, truths

6.

whatever you want it to mean. A generation X that thinks outside of the box or has abandoned many if not all of the norms/precepts of a postwar generation
