I don't know if it's possible to separate post-modern from pop culture. I think it should be post-pop-modern..
well, I mean I think post-modernism was kind of elitist art-history stuff... but it has leaked into all aspects of popular culture. I mean the extreme sarcasm that most of us play with is po mo, in a sense. We're not taking things as they were intended, we're one step above looking at it in context. I dunno, this is just my instinct. I don't really have anything to back it up.
I have two little brother's who watch a lot of tv. They are totally sarcastic with all their jokes, and their always referencing something. Half the time, the don't even know what the original reference was, they just caught it on tv, and they're recycling it. I have to tell them what it originally meant. It's like po mo is in a recursive loop.
