Premodern, Modern, Postmodern, Metamodern

Picking a fight with the Hipster PoMo 30 Somethings of youtube over on the Science Fiction channel.

In fact I like Thomas Flight’s video essay a lot but I think he makes the mistakes that all postmoderns make about metamodernism…they make it a pomo rebrand.

So I go to bat in defence of Top Gun Maverick as the epitome of the metamodern movie…
