You're not calling Postmodernism a great culture, I hope.
A great tweet about Lana del Rey that's both deeply true and deeply misguided. Every great culture has always been a mishmash of nostalgic simulations of former cultures. Examples: the Renaissance. Neoclassicism. Pre-Raphaelites. Postmodernism.https://twitter.com/annakhachiyan/status/1168687603241095168 …

I encourage you to read Mark Fisher, especially Capitalist Realism. The difference is that our culture is no longer producing new cultural modes so it’s no longer nostalgia for a past culture so much as nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake.

My question is: where did Greek culture come from? Or, did they just make up 90% of their stories and run wild with them.

I'll freely admit my ignorance about this, but how is postmodernism nostalgic?
