Although, my case studies are postmodern, it can be critiqued that postmodernism is ultimately meaningless. Even linguist, Noam Chomsky proclaims postmodernism is meaningless, thus it adds nothing to analytical or empirical knowledge, as well as Richard Dawkins who states it "lacks content." Postmodernism is conclusively grounded on hyperbole and over generalization as seen in my case study of Ariana Grande's music video 'Problem' where the entire music video is based on a stereotype of seventies culture, playing on figures like Bardot. Also, postmodernism is too idealistic as seen in my video game of Batman lego which has no boundaries, magically getting rid off structure isn't beneficial to everyone, providing falsification. The lack of set rules and structures determines it to be a very broad subject and consequently can be hard to define. One critic argues that; "theory will always fail on it's claim to make good on it's claim to provide a set or rules..it therefore, by definition, can have no consequence."
There are also many theories that say postmodernism is very pessimistic,
Timothy Bewes saying it's a "cynical reaction". I also believe that
this idea could also be considered truthful because it claims that there
are no more origional ideas anymore and that every media yext has been
influenced by another. However, whether this is entirely a bad thing is
another case because each media text inspiring one another could benefit
some texts.
