Po-Mo Poem

Po-Mo Poem

Postmodernism comes
After modernism
One is in the 19th century
The other is in the 20th
I’m so postmodern
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Postmodernism is also
Known as Po-Mo
Irony, parody, intertextuality, 
Hyperrealityyyyyyyy
I’m so postmodern
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Postmodernism is a jumble
That’s what Baudrillard said in a mumble
Lyotard also jumps in the muddle
And attempts to fix the puzzle
I’m so postmodern
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Aesthetic or philosophical,
who the hell knows?
Gaga and Madonna do put
on quite a good show -
disturbing the binary opposite
of what we like to know, 
as Po-Mo.
I’m so postmodern
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Television 
Pastiche in glee
Pattern Recognition in Community
how about intertextuality?
I’m so postmodern
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

SCREAM at film or 
try MATRIX around it - 
Po-Mo is gonna get yah!
mixing the odds of animation 
with the likes of real element 
gets us in quite a predicament.
I’m so postmodern
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Video Games are meta-reflections,
Game Over - Round One - FIGHT
I’m so postmodern
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
