# Metamodernism *Meta-* refers moving beyond the subject, considering their properties. *-Modernism* refers to a cultural movement to help define truth and meaning. Together they propose a way of looking at the world, and specifically *art*, in our modern times (2020s). Personally, this is an aesthetic or outlook I consider ripping elements from to form a kind of *cozy weird* feeling towards the world at large (a combination of *coziness*, *twee*, and *new weird* genres). /// ## Research #### I.
