Of course, I also don't understand calling it a "poem".
Perhaps I'm just not hip or something.

Just because it doesn't make sense doesn't make it not art. Or good. Or something.
In all seriousness, post modernism started as something unique and powerful. But by 70s had degraded into simply having no standards whatsoever.
yeah its essentially modernism
When your focal point is subverting standards, you eventually end up with unironic shit
in the past
You will invariably find yourself at the point where the only things you can challenge are notions of talent and quality
XD so true
That is the reality of the "post truth" crowd
Is they exist in a paradigm with these authorities they want to challenge
I still can't get over the article picture. It's a real thing. And it won a prestigious award.

Not seperate from them
There is no way for one to challenge standards that dony exist
So really postmodern art
As much as it wants to be seperate from the standards and authorities it challenges
Could not exist without them
An everlasting plea to seperate from reality and perception
It's kinda fun. If you go to a major art museum you'll see the classics and immediately understand why they're classics and held in such high regard. And then you get to the post-moderns of the 1910s and realize how special it is and how it still has it's own high standards while subverting the traditional requirements of "art"
But then you go to the MOMA or something and begin to wonder if it's just a con game to steal money from gullible politicians or something.
It all kinda burned off and now it's just a bunch of junk with weak standards and is just strange for the sake of being strange.
Your tax dollars at work!
Yeah i mean its not challenging to challenge a standard that has been challenged a million times outside of for practice
Letalone be considered great
Yeah, I'm big on the idea of a return to a certain degree of traditionalism in the academic system
Get the standards back.
Its a cycle
Back and forth in an eternal stuggle
But at this point yeeeeeeeah they need to come back in terms of alot of humanities
Music i think is the only one that has really stayed the path of tradition
In terms of academics. Even the newer sort of music classes are about well established traditional standards (at least in modern day with rock and pop classes and degrees becoming a thing)
Its great because the musical equivalent of postmodernism is actually extremely well defined in terms of rules that have been established and codified in tradition
Unlike its visual art counterpart
I mean, you'll read classic literature in the English department, but the ultimate goal is always to reach deconstruction and the research is entirely driven by SocJus-type trends.
Actually, that's not quite accurate.
Well not that postmodernism doesnt have a sort of structure
Most of the classic books have been replaced. But there's enough they'll claim they respect the classic canon.
Its just more a negative sort of structure. In the sense of whats left
Have you guys seen the postmodern generator
Yeah i have a bud doing an english literature/education double major at the uni iblive by
Yes
