Postmodernism is a movement in art, architecture, literature, and philosophy that questions big, simple explanations about truth and reality. It often mixes styles, plays with irony, and blurs the line between high and low culture.
“Postmodernism” literally means “after modernism,” from Latin *post* (“after”) + “modernism.” It arose in the mid‑20th century as a reaction against the strict, serious, and often idealistic ideas of modernism.
