Postmodernism in Pop Culture

Introduction

Hello!

My name is Sarah, and I created this blog so I could combine my two great loves: PostModernism and Popular Culture. Many argue that we are currently living at the dawn of the Post Modern Age, but there are those who disagree, and believe that we are still living in Modern times. It is my goal to illustrate that we are in Post Modernity by juxtaposing modern and pomo forms of popular culture, like music, art, television, movies, and advertisements (while at the same time translating post modern ideas into a language most people can understand). The disjointed, non-linear, at times completely random form that these cultural artifacts take is not only proof that we are living in PoMo times, but that PoMo is being widely accepted, especially by the younger generations where it really counts. The effects of this will be widely seen in about 50 years or so, but it is my hope to show what direction this might take. Keep checking back, and enjoy!

Sarah
