    An academic pissing contest to name it. I’m not kidding. Cosmodernism, metamodernism, transmodernism, remodernism, etc., they’re all trying to make these stick. It’s always a reaction to, but partial furthering-of, the movement that came before it. So if at its simplest modernism is “oh my god we’re fucked, how do we make sense of it” and postmodernism is “oh my god we’re fucked, let’s have fun with it,” I think we will see a desire to return to order and sincerity, but with, as I would be inclined to agree with Alan Kirby, a shallowness resulting from technological progress and the “brainrot” mediums (so to speak) that we’re increasingly immersed in. He throws “pseudo-modernism” in the ring as a contender.
