As someone who kinda hates post modernism…its still an important artistic and intellectual movement that has been critical in advancing our approach to history and culture

Absolutely. Love it or leave but postmodernism has been absolutely crucial to our developments of critical theory, the way we study history, feminism, culture, and philosophy. Like, it’s just the nature of the way we begin to understand and relate to the world after something as massive and earth shattering as WW2. It has flaws, sure, and it’s not of interest to everyone all the time, but that doesn’t mean it’s just a load of crap. 

I’m pretty sure this BS comes from the misinterpretation that postmodernism is “meaningless” and means “nothing matters and I can do what I want with everything”. Which it doesn’t but no one picks up a book anymore or does the slightest bit of research before trying to argue concepts.
