Postmodernity definition and example

According to www.thefreedictionary.com, postmodernity can be defined as follows: Of or relating to art, architecture, or literature that reacts against earlier modernist principles, as by reintroducing traditional or classical elements of style or by carrying modernist styles or practices to extremes. In this definition, I feel that the major point is that postmodernity, whether it is taking the norm to an extreme, or if it is going 100% opposite of what the norm is, postmodernity is always something which deviates from the norms.

When I think of postmodernity, the first things that comes to mind are what humans view as the future. For example, a tv show like The Jetsons, which is a very futuristic view of what the earth might be like in the distant future is what I think postmodernity is.
