sadness of america/bad postmodernism

[Otto]

What era, from your historical knowledge, would you have more enjoyed?

one step back:
Rob has called it "Critical Theory" in his last post, so I assume a 
postmodernist is someone who is generally critical about what is called 
the postmodern world, the world he lives in. Many people are living in 
this world without having any idea of the philosophical construct called 
postmodernism. Are they postmodernists?

By the way, as someone who has been busy with the topic for a while I'm 
not absolutely sure if we're really still in the era of postmodernism. 
Too much of what had constituted postmodernism after World War II seems 
to have gone since 1989/90 and especially 9/11.

To me it sometimes looks like as if we've gone to a new era of 
pre-modernity. So it fits perfectly that new hocuspocus like ID arises.
