What is Metamodernism? What comes after postmodernism?

What is Metamodernism?
Metamodernism is a cultural and philosophical movement that emerged in the early 21st century, reacting to the perceived limitations of both modernism and postmodernism.

While modernism is often associated with a belief in progress, grand narratives, and objective truths, and postmodernism with skepticism, irony, and the rejection of these narratives, metamodernism seeks to move beyond both.

Metamodernism oscillates between modernism's idealism and postmodernism's cynicism, embracing a mix of sincerity and irony, hope and doubt, and engagement and detachment.

For example, when a Metamodernists prays, they do so with the understanding that it might be a coping mechanism, fully aware that expecting supernatural intervention might not be entirely rational.

Yet, they continue to pray, embracing the act with a mix of sincerity and irony. They acknowledge the comfort it brings, even while recognizing the improbability of divine intervention, reflecting the Metamodernist's ability to hold conflicting beliefs and emotions in balance.
