Postmodernism What is it?


All music videos are postmodern so we need to understand what post modernism is.

To define postmodernism would violate what postmodernism is. It pushes all normal boundaries by having none no rule set no conventions by this logic anything can be postmodern by this logic anyone can be or produce postmodernism work this doesn't make much sense but neither does postmodernism when you really think about it. In this post whatever I say about postmodernism will largely be down to opinion as that's all anyone can give on this subject just there opinion.

The post modernistic "art" work known simply as "My Bed" will cause much controversy when discussed as some do not see a bed that someone has jumped out of as art these are the people that believe that art is classic paintings or sculptures but this sort of idea such as My Bed is a new wave of art postmodern art. The argument that can be put that this is art as art gives a message and make you think "My Bed" makes me look at it and see how Tracey Emmins sees life messy and uncoordinated with things in places that don't belong but if you put the time and effort in you can make the bed and you can make life back to the way it was tidy and normal.

Attributes of postmodernism are in most music videos such as parody pastiche intertextuality and many more. A good example of this is when a artist plays multiple different characters in the video this shows hyper consciousness and reminds the audience that this isn't real or mean to look real. In many pop music videos it shows a playfulness where they are having fun another attribute of postmodernism. Also a lot of parody can be seen in music videos by overhyping stereotypes. Although no music video will show all attributes of postmodernism all will show at least one or two.
