  1. pomo

    Pomo is term related to postmodernism, an artistic, cultural, literary, and philosophical movement that emerged in the mid-20th century, often characterized by its skeptical interpretations of culture, literature, art, philosophy, history, economics, architecture, and fiction. Postmodernism departs from modernism's focus on unity, coherence, and stability, and emphasizes instead the dynamic, the fragmented, and the complex. So, "pomo" can could be used to refer to anything associated with or characterized by postmodernism. In another context, Pomo can also refer to a group of Native American people from Northern California, or the group of seven related languages they speak.
