A really, really solid video essay describing modernism vs postmodernism vs metamodernism in films. Probably will be my goto to send to people if they wonder about metamodernism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xEi8qg266g

In doing so it simply substitutes  unexamined claims to subjective truths for unexamined claims to objective truths. That’s why I like the idea (Rob Knight via Vinay Gupta) that metamodernism is just modernism in drag and fundamentally reactionary.

Thanks, just watched it. Very solid and does what it aims to do very thoroughly. Helped me realize what my own main critique of metamodernism is and why I’m basically not onboard with it: it uncritically treats emotional sincerity as a kind of self-evident truth that’s beyond critique.
