Although I haven't quite decided what the question for my essay I will be trying to answer is, I found this quote which is great for putting the point in that Post-modernism is hard
Postmodernism is hard to define, because it is a concept that appears in a wide variety of disciplines or areas of study, including art, architecture, music, film, literature, sociology, communications, fashion and technology. It’s hard to locate it temporally and historically, because it’s not clear exactly when postmodernism begins.
