I think postmodernism has a definition, and what it is to me is besides the point slightly. I'm going to refrain from researching the term and just give my vague, probably ill informed sketch of what the word means. I've taken it to broadly be a rejection of romanticism in favor of a more self-aware and potentially slightly cynical interpretation of the world around us which can manifest in pretty much any art form. Who knows how far off or close to the mark that is, but I'll leave you with this poem by Matthew Arnold written to his fiance during their honeymoon in 1851. It has been called the first post-modern poem. I particularly like the last stanza in the context of it being written on his honeymoon, -I find it very beautiful.
