Postmodernism is everything and nothing in the world. Earth has the word art in it and either everything has art or nothing does. It's a subjective opinion.
Because any object can be looked at from a certain lens and symbolize an idea or image greater than reality. We believe these things or we don't. However, what you get from it is what makes it postmodern. You question the idea of truth or reality until you experience it. Our self-awareness is picked up from observing our environment which creates these ideas in our minds.
So places are postmodern. Drawings. Paintings. Food. Liquid. Television. People. Hobbies. Thoughts. Objects. The media. Or are they all not postmodern? Are they just things in life that we come across and don't pay attention to. It's your choice. It's a paradox. Juxtaposition. Postmodernism means there's no meaning. Or does it mean everything present around us is postmodern in some way. We're controlled by what we see or hear. But then we go with our gut and act independent. Postmodernism symbolizes how you want to portray yourself in front of other eyes because of what is right. We as people communicate and influence each other. We analyze society. We appreciate it but then hate it at times.
Then what really is postmodernism? The main definition behind all the other descriptions is that it can be whatever you make it to be. Your feelings about things and the way you as well as the world change because of what you witness is postmodernism. Your perception about something can always be identical or the opposite of someone else's. It's a compare and contrast game. Living, noticing, judging, and changing. That's postmodernism. It's also art.
