bitch dont accuse me of postmodernism for calling someone out on postmodernism against my solution to post mosernism

>>11641124
also stop accusing people of being pseudo intellectuals its very trivial

i don't hate postmodernism. i hate some of the things that have been done in the name of postmodernism.

> take someone else's book
> publish the whole thing under your name
> claim "appropriation"

Post-modernism's focus on "experimentation" over everything results in most works in the genre being shit for pretentious dickbags to circle jerk over, it's the Trout Mask Replica of literary genres. There's a few good works but most of it is not worth the time.

to be honest i ignore postmodern theory and postmodern philosophy because frankly i don't care what they have to say. they don't increase my enjoyment of the work, so they aren't useful as critics.

as for postmodern literature itself, its fun for a while but gets tedious. i binged out on authors like pynchon and brautigan in my mid-twenties and enjoyed them for a while. now that i'm in my thirties i prefer books with stories and characters where everything isn't all wacky and zany. it's like eating too much sugar - eventually you want something heartier and healthier.

people who hate postmodernismare just brainlets that dont really even know what it is or who need a strong figure (obviously a MAN) to tell them what to do and how to live because they dont have the capacity to formulate one for themselves

pretty much this.

in a historical context, where you can understand it as a cultural and social development of earlier ideas, there's no doubt that some aspects of postmodernism are pretty cool. even inarguable.

for me at least the interest in looking in other directions just come out of what i perceive to be the dead ends (or black holes) where that kind of thinking ultimately leads.

if postmodernity resembled something like this it would be the greatest thing ever. and yet that does not seem to be the case.

You guys are missing out big time by avoiding postmodern poetics.
