To me, post-modernism is a description, a subgenre, of the various arts (Pynchon, the painters, minimalist music, the Glass House, and so on). Therein lies its use as a word. It's the next step beyond modern, but modern is always modern by definition -- so maybe post-modernism is, at any given moment, the style that we in the present associate with the future?
