quoting myself from a dm convo, "main accomplishment of pomo was giving us a starter vocabulary for talking about the post ww2 world"
cf: Gayatri Spivak, "can the subaltern speak?"... without pomo language, arguably *nobody* could speak for a while, for certain values of 'speak'

I'm only superficially acquainted with it, but even the little I know is very useful
