Modern is usually referring to mid-20th century in terms of style. Post-modern doesn’t include everything after that — it’s kind of a mess to describe but probably the simplest explanation is that post-modernism is a reaction to modernism. It’s a style full of visual puns, and structural manifestations of literary criticism. “Contemporary” is the more generic umbrella term for things that are modern with a lowercase “m”. Of course, nobody agrees on what Postmodernism is so please feel free to tell me why I’m wrong :)
