postmodern lit is primarily concerned with two things: first, the acceptance of the fact that everything worth saying has already been said and a sort of coming-to-terms with that through frequent use of allusion, reference, and recombination of existing materials; second, a shared reader-author awareness that fiction really is fiction and doesn't have to pretend to be contained, coherent, consistent, or work inside any sort of box, and a resulting increase of interest in formal creativity (see, for instance, DFW's footnotes, Pale Fire, or the cancer that is House of Leaves).

Angsty?

postmodern philosophy doesn't laugh at you for forgetting to be a human.

Frustration at your own situation but tinged with edginess, emo, and rebelliousness. Not filled with fear if you're a German speaker.

So is postmodern philosophy philosophical iconoclasm? Just about tearing everything down?

Postmodernism is a very contentious descriptor and applies to a lot of schools of thought. From my own understanding, though, I'd say it is primarily a position which denies the objectivity of meta-narratives. To be post-modern in regards to the Enlightenment project, for instance, is to say that there is no all-encompassing Subject that serves as a bearer of truth and trans-historical inalienable rights. Said Subject is a conception of the western philosophical tradition, and can be asserted only within that tradition.

Would it be right to consider postmodernisms as reactions to modernism (being much more unified across different fields)? Your description doesn't seem to be broad enough to include something like architecture, where the term originated in the first place.

How was it a "reaction," specifically, to modernism?

Postmodern literature concerns itself with the status and production of texts. Postmodern art concerns itself with the status and production of objects. Postmodern philosophy concerns itself with the status and production of ways of thinking. They often interact, since they inherit the universalising and essentialising impulses of modernism.
