https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamodernism

>To describe "the structure of feeling" of metamodernism, Vermeulen and van den Akker use the metaphor of a pendulum continually oscillating from the sincere seriousness of modernism to the ironic playfulness of postmodernism

basically thanks to the internet, everything oscillates between the extremes of modernism, structured calculated art and ironic LE MEME art. to call memes art is one thing, but one cannot deny that we are basically on edge post rick astley rickrolling and 4chan to never take anything anyone says literally because you have no clue whether they are participating in an ironic ruse or being 100% honest and sincere. its led to this wacky dichotomy that we live in now.
