Postmodernism has many definitions. Here is one I found online, the site URL has been listed below.
"Postmodernism is a late 20th-century style and concept in the arts, architecture, and criticism that represents a departure from modernism and has at its heart a general distrust of grand theories and ideologies as well as a problematical relationship with any notion of “art.”
OR
"Any of a number of trends or movements in the arts and literature developing in the 1970s in reaction to or rejection of the dogma, principles, or practices of established modernism, especially a movement in architecture and the decorative arts running counter to the practice and influence of the International Style and encouraging the use of elements from historical vernacular styles and often playful illusion, decoration, and complexity."
In the simplest of terms, Postmodernism was, and still is, any form of thought or idea which aims to question and criticise those ideas and thoughts which stem from Modernism.http://www.google.com/dictionary?langpair=en%7Cen&q=postmodernism&hl=en&aq=f
