There are arguments for example that rap music, mixing/sampling/etc. *is*
postmodernism, but that doesn't make rap music better than high pomo
theory, or better than the language that rotarians use on a daily
basis. It just makes them different languages, and different audiences,
none of which are set in stone.
My own preference is for inclusive language, but it's maybe interesting
that I'm more likely to get irritated with specialized language when it is
just beyond my reach (ie., as some high pomo theory is, as some comp
theory is) than when I am way out of the ballpark (as I am with rap
music), because I'm *supposed* to understand pomo and comp theory. . .
