Sorry guys, I have internet too… I’ve just never read or heard an explanation as to what post modernism is that satisfies the condition of providing a name to something.
Post-structuralism makes sense to me, especially Deconstruction (although I treat it as more of a challenge to think about something than any kind of actual system of thought).
It always appeared to me that Postmodernism was a handy label that had not ever been applied in any substantive fashion, under which a host of behaviours and ideas could be heaped because they sought to talk about the thing they represented recursively through the form that composed it. (And I’ll add, ‘What does not?’)
That may be a something but its only a post-something from the perspective of people who feel like the analyses or products of thought are somehow only definable through the negation of a propensity to have previously not focused on the part of ideation that relates to the exposition of internal structure inherent in an idea.
‘It came after’ is not good enough for me. And I demand it be good enough! LOL
ETA: I just want to add, the concept really seems to make sense to some people, and I’d love to be able to make sense of it myself.

Could you provide a definition? Is that the wrong question to ask? Would your answer be in the form of a 600 page thesis? Would there be no central theme to the thesis? Would that be the point? Is it only definable in relation to the infinite variety of the other?
