Comrade,
Thanks.
I searched using Google and found quite a good description of it in
www.britanicca.com but it's not that easy to explain in simple words but
seems a reactionary concept.
What's difficult about finding a good explanation of it is that it's used so
much in sociological papers and in art -- "postmodern art, design, etc."
which expresses a rejection of modernisation and a harking back to less
developed times.
Wasn't the hippie movement and result of, or an expression of this
"postmodern" thinking?

intellectualised slang and I think it is bound up with the right wing
thinking of the 80's. I believe it is connected with the idea that
alternatives to capitalism dont have any relevance in a globalised world.
Theorists of community use it alot 'the global post-modern phenomena' etc, -
I think they cant see past present capitalist structures etc. Your
definition is right, I think that it is a shallow concept.
