Here is a prime example of post modernity, there are 3 elements to this picture. One is that it's Adventure Time a cartoon about a young boy and his dog, two that it is deadmau5 a Dj and three that it's cosplay. It is a bricolage of Adventure Time and Deadmau5 but told through a completely post modern activity which is cosplaying. Begs the question whether this is a homage or a pastiche? One one hand it is a homage as they are publicly displaying their respect and honor, whereas on the other hand they are quiet clearly imitating both deadmau5 helmet and Adventure times costumes. Personally i think it's bloody ridiculous, Adventure time and Deadmau5 have absolutely nothing in common, but in saying that it makes it perfectly post modern.
