There seems to be an interesting overlap among hypermodernity, accelerationism, and metamodernism, where each of the spheres are largely unaware of the others.
Maybe @michaelgarfield can arrange a panel discussion between you, @johndavidebert, and @cyborg_nomade?

what's up with the prefixes? modernity is still going on.

at most, we're getting "more modernity and modernity again"https://oldnicksite.wordpress.com/2011/04/01/neomodernity/ …

Terms are useful to describe things. Not sure there's any point denying postmodernism is (was) a thing, or that we have since progressed from that cultural mode. Simply put, that's what metamodernism describes.

postmodernism was a theoretical school of thought, not a generalized cultural mode. is metamodernism also that? (sincere question, I know very little about it)

Postmodernism was absolutely a cultural mode; think architecture (Memphis), art (Warhol, Koons), music (Talking Heads), cinema (Tarantino), and on and on (see https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/reviews/postmodernism-style-and-subversion-1970-1990-victoria-amp-albert-museum-london-2359421.html … ). Metamodernism similarly describes our current cultural mode.

it definitely had an artistic scene (btw, curious about why you think Tarantino was in It), but it wasn't a *generalized* cultural mode, the modernity is. you can identify modern culture even outside the modernist movement, most obviously in industry. and that's still going on.

I don't mean to quibble too much, but if modernity is the culture of constant innovation and change, unless that goes away, all these specific subcultures are plain modern.

Yes— still modern, but Telematic Digitalization realizes the project of modernity in an absolute way, hence Hypermodern.

Postmodernism came close to surpassing modernity as it was dedicated to dismantling all the presuppositions of modernity:individual, human, truth etc. Its failure was being too reactionary a force & underestimating the ethical necessity of preserving tenants of modernity

Postmodernism was hijacked and run into the rocks by the political activists it spawned.
