For certain things it’s really good. “Simulation and Simulacra” is a really good one and I think describes the world today well - and part of our frustration with it. Nothing is real anymore and nothing can be.
It’s why McMansions exist. The simulate the ornate, large home of the mid/late 19th century.
Bacon flavored toothpaste simulates the idea of bacon, etc. we are just drenched in irony.
I think where post modernism goes wrong though is it’s conclusions. Nothing matters, nothing is real, decay is all that can happen.
It’s just not true.
