#PostModern
@raganwald

Apples designs in the 80s and 90s don't feel very postmodern (more modernist TBH, but at least there was some design). But I am pretty ignorant about design it turns out.

OTOH as a "playfully mix of styles and low and high culture" the socks seem to fit the bill. 🙂

I hate Postmodern Jukebox for taking such a great name and concept and making it mean “Jazz cover”.

Like, a jazz cover of Creep isn’t “post-modern”. Taking a Jazz cover of Thrift Shop by Macklemore and remixing it into an Electro-Swing track? *That’s* post modern.

I’ve always struggled to understand the pull to “postmodern” antisocial behaviors.
It fairly well known that we as a species seek connection, want to feel understood…we all want to feel safe and secure blah blah blah.
And I get that they are finding connection with others who wanna fuck around +

Apple Design: The Work of the Apple Industrial Design Group

A really interesting book that captures what might be "Peak Apple Postmodern Design," including many internal concepts like a concept bike computer that would provide riding directions […]

Wait, now, holdon.

I've always dreamed of having a split keyboard like this, that would be able to fit in large coat pockets, so I can write a pretentious, postmodern novel while walking around with my hands in my pockets.

I'd obviously need to pair it with display glasses, but they exist.

Todd Snider, 1966-2025

A wry and beloved country singer/songwriter with a sharp pen and well-honed sense of humor, Snider was perhaps the quintessential postmodern troubadour.

If you say you like "modern" building designs, you're going to have to be more specific.

Ah, yes. Final Fantasy VII. The game from my childhood. One I played as a youth. How young was I when I played Final Fantasy. My prepubescent body experienced this game, vibrating with motion.

One of the better problems to have: I leave the house for whatever reason, and end up right back in the studio with another new design. Had to get this funky architecture on paper the moment I got back.

reading paolo x.m. menuez's open access dissertation, "The Downward Spiral: Postmodern Consciousness as Buddhist Metaphysics in the Dark Souls Video Game Series." reminds me that infotainment is *never* gonna match academic texts, yes, not even 10-hour lore vids and video essays

Good morning, postmodernists, the Deleuzian rhizome of connectivity! Welcome to your new adventure, where postmodern theorists navigate through a lost transmission from McLuhan, encountering the mechanical reproduction of ideology while escaping the grip of mass media!

damn it's almost like our heathen nihilist genderqueer Judith Butler postmodern neomarxist asses have genuine values we hold as intrinsically meaningful or something

Gender nihilism is just such a plainly loaded and 4chan trans embodied term holy shit.
See also anyone contextualizing modern trans identity as you did before as "postmodern", when the literal only people who use that term to refer to trans identity or queer rights, are neonazis.

"Desiring a change to your body's gendered characteristics away from how god made it initially is a rejection of a godly gift" *is not* a rejection of a specific postmodern framework of conceptualizing transness.
That is a direct rebuking of trans existence itself.

No shame in not getting through it. That one's in the "you really don't have to, just admire the accomplishment" category, like most postmodern works.
