Postmodernism Criticism:

Many theorists have been very critical of postmodernism and what it says about society. For example many people have said it does nothing to help society: Noam Chomsky claiming that postmodernism is "meaningless because it adds nothing to analytical knowledge." Richard Dawkins also says that it has "nothing to say". I believe that some of these statements could be true because postmodernism is mostly used to critise the origonality of many texts, not to add anymore analysis of it.

There are also many theories that say postmodernism is very pessimistic, Timothy Bewes saying it's a "cynical reaction". I also believe that this idea could also be considered truthful because it claims that there are no more origional ideas anymore and that every media yext has been influenced by another. However, whether this is entirely a bad thing is another case because each media text inspiring one another could benefit some texts.

Another criticism of post modernism could be it's lack of set rules and structure as it is a very broad subject and can be hard to define. One critic argues that the "theory will always fail on it's claim to make good on it's claim to provide a set of rules...it therefore, by definition, can have no consequence."

Though I agree with many of these statements, I believe that postmodernism as a theory isn't "a load of rubbish" and can be a good theory to apply to a lot of recent media texts. For example, it applies very well to the film "24 Hour Party People."
