Some peg 1973 as the time of turn to Postmodernism ( interesting that it coincides with the Nixon debacle and Roe v. Wade ) . I believe that the philosophical aspects of Postmodernism cropped up in the 60's. PO-Mo is about the movement of Capital, Information and Leftist Philosophy.

Just my 3 canadian cents. I believe the train entering railway station is good metaphor- it takes some time for the last coach to enter the station while the front coaches are already there.

I would guess that the process started ideologically around 1955 (i.e. start of 'third wave") become culturally felt in 1967-69 (starting with Sgt. Pepper, Moon landing, ending with Altamont) and became fully operational in 1971 (end of Breton Woods gold standard)

it took some time before we got accustomed to it. (ATMs etc.)
