Metamodernity is an emergent cultural, intellectual, and artistic moment that straddles the divides of modernity and postmodernity. It sits at the intersection of idealism and realism, of irony and sincerity, of relativism and truth. Metamodernity is the state of being halfway between traditional absolutes and the relativistic uncertainties of postmodernism, focused on realistic connections, solutions, and progress at a planetary level. It isn't traditionally modern or postmodern, but a hybrid blend of the two, a dialogue between distinct and diverse paths.
