"Hypermodern" refers to a cultural and philosophical movement that extends beyond modernism and postmodernism. It emphasizes rapid change, technological advancement, and the complexities of contemporary life. Hypermodernity often highlights the impact of digital technology on society, including how it shapes communication, identity, and relationships. In a hypermodern world, individuals experience a constant flow of information and a sense of urgency. This can lead to feelings of anxiety and disconnection, as people navigate an ever-evolving landscape. Key themes include consumerism, globalization, and the search for meaning in a fast-paced environment, often influenced by figures like Jean-François Lyotard and Zygmunt Bauman.
