Post-modernism is a loaded term. The argument can be made that it is not post anything it is merely modernism in its decadent phase. At any rate this is a typical cycle in human societies, knowledge, mores and art; the meta-narrative or overall vision has its early Classical phase marked by a logical coherence, common culture, health and purity. The next phase, the Romantic starts to show signs of exaggerated ripeness, the emergence of a counterculture, hedonic tendencies and a florid aesthetic. The last Decadent phase ("post modernism") is marked by incoherence, the decay and dissolution of forms, multi-culturalism and sub-cultures, disease, deviancy and destruction. The cycle then starts over again with a new beginning.
