thunking about the dismal proliferation of micro-genres, micro-brews, micro-tels, etc as a cultural reflection of the flight towards interiority
Well that is where you are wrong. The post-modern condition is not a style. You seem to confuse style with a tendency of a system (in this case, modernity or capitalism).

Hmm, I don't think so -- the style reflects a condition, the conditon designates the moving to the fore of particular tendencies in capitalist development (neither modernity or 'post'modernity have reality outside of capitalism, as Postone and Buck-Morss have shown)

An example: A dynamic system reaches a new phase. This phase is the product of the transitions that a system has made. is this phase actually reflective of the underlying processes? On the surface, yes, but you can't unpack the actual processes by simply looking at it.

How does style emerge without any relation to historical modes of production or organization? That's a very interesting claim.

It does historically emerge. But to confuse the process of constitution with what is constituted in such and such way is the very pinnacle of intellectual laziness.
