• In comparison to other philosophies:
  • Modernism: maximalist + optimistic; “Make it new!”; creators want to be godlike and make hsitory
  • Postmodernism: skeptical + disillusioned; no longer believe in a universal reality
• Metamodernism is basically the Cards/Sweet Spot between these two philosophies

  • E.G. fanfiction, remixes, memes, vlogging
