I think that post modernism is a term that is used to describe something that is hard to explain such as Andy Warhol's art about making art.  The fact that something can be described as loosely as art about art, says that post modernism is used to explain something that is more elegant and hard to explain. I am ok with calling post modernism a part of high culture rather then popular culture, because it seems to be educated. Yes the reading is put into a language that seems as if only scholars are meant to really understand, however, the actual classification of what post modernism really is can't be clearly identified. It is a very broad category that contains the works of many authors working under totally different mediums but all seem to  contain a bit of irony within their content.
