Post-Somethingism	comment	In academia, adding the prefix "post" to a movement, theory, or genre is quite common. The best way to describe the meaning of "post" in this context is as a synonym for "beyond", building on the innovations, theories, or style of the original in such a way as to take it beyond what the original was, in the process creating a new theory, genre, or whatever. In other words, the only way to define something is to describe what it evolved from. See also Evolving Trope. However, pop culture doesn't think very highly of this use of "post", hence the rather flippant term "post-somethingism" that lends itself to the trope name. The belief here is that such concepts are ill-defined (if not a word seeking a definition) and a way for the pretentious "intelligentsia" to show how they've transcended whatever it is we're used to, so they don't have to follow any rules. Pop culture may or may not be right in its assessment, but more often than not, it amounts to creating a strawman of a genuine concept.

Post-Somethingism / int_23e902fb	comment	Poststructuralism is the rejection of structuralism, a broad theory (but usually applied to literature) of strictly defined cultural archetypes and binaries — think The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Poststructuralist literary theory critiques and ultimately rejects such binary concepts as good versus evil and red versus blue, and indeed it can be expanded to rejection of wide-ranging social phenomena outside of literature like binary gender. There's a sociopolitical angle, too — many of these archetypes are seen as imposed by one culture on another through colonialism and oppression. The exact nature of poststructuralism changes rapidly; one decade TV Tropes itself would be "structuralist" because everything fits into a neat (albeit absurdly expansive) directory of tropes, but another decade it would be "poststructuralist" because there are so many different variations of the same trope that everything can only truly be defined as its own thing.

Post-Somethingism / int_c2eb3ab5	comment	Post-disco was a response to the incredible backlash against disco of the early 1980s. It similarly brought the genre more "mainstream", stripping away the funk elements and introducing dub and R&B. The result had a significant impact on pop that's still felt today.
