Living in a postmodern society is fascinating and treacherous.
Fascinating because when we pull back the postmodern veil and see whats been blinding us we can adjust and correct our thinking to match reality. Although, we must keep in mind that this is reality. Our reality is the bombardment of images and ideas that shape us and reflect on our thinking. Whether something is real or not depends on the person. My reality is far different from yours. We all bring a different perspective to every situation and we critique each situation from a different mindset.
This portion of postmodernism leads to exciting ventures in art and music. An individual can produce a work of art that symbolises anything or exposes anything. Postmodern art in general uses many techniques to establish an altered perception of reality or common ideals.
The treacherous part is getting caught up in the complexities. There is no simple definition that cover the vast umbrella of what postmodernism is. Since it's so hard to gauge what it really is, many just give up. Relinquishing their minds to media and letting outside forces shape every thought they have. Because its easy, easy to let others do the hard work for you.
