Hypermodernism refers to a cultural, artistic, literary and architectural movement distinguished from Modernism and Postmodernism chiefly by its extreme and antithetical approach. Although the term is sometimes erroneously used to describe modernists such as Le Corbusier, it has come to have some aspects of modernism filtered through the latest technological materials and approaches to design or composition. References to magic and an underlying flexible self-identity often coupled with a strong irony of statement categorize the movement. Some theorists view hypermodernism as a form of resistance to standard modernism; others see it as late romanticism in modernist trappings.

one of my old employers had that chair....it was the most ridiculous unpractical uncomfortable thing ever. It just sat in the corner looking like it belonged on sprockets.

My understanding of the term "hypermodernism" - at least as concerned with architecture - refers to the true contemporary ramifications of traditional modernist discourse. Think of "non-places" like highways, airplane cabins, and cookie-cutter development as real-world bastard children of modernist canonization.

Can't really understand why people like do such pretty silly (in my opinion) narrow divisions and separations. It's like they try to define a kind of immutable truth, forgetting that ideas and trends change rapidly.

Well, terms like these are the engines of academia.
Having a basic command of design history/theory lends itself to communicating with colleagues and networking.
