Postmodernism can basically be thought of as modernism with mass technology and modern fears - apocalypse, lack of self, technology, mass media, consumerism etc.
Frequently dehumanises and maintains an ironic distance from its plot and characters. Uses tropes and common images from media both to express its themes about mass society and its plot, as well as an element of humor

All you need to know is in: Postmodernism, or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism by Jameson

fav is Existentialist Sheriff

Ah, Existentialist Sheriff, my favorite avant-garde western. It's hard to get back into its plot after prolonged discussions with inanimate schlemihls (viz, SHROUD), however.
Pic related was literally my introduction to post-modernism. There is a documentary called Ways of Seeing by John Berger, I highly recommend it to absolute beginners, as well.
