• Avant-garde - The French word for vanguard. A group or work that is innovative or inventive on one or more levels: subject, medium, technique, style, or relationship to context. An avant-garde work pushes the known boundaries of acceptable art sometimes with revolutionary, cultural, or political implications.
• Nostalgia: Something that relates to a diachronic remembering of the past.
• Appropriation: In regards to art "appropriate" is to take possession of something. Appropriation artists deliberately copy images to take possession of them in their art. They are not stealing or plagiarising, nor are they are passing off these images as their very own. Yet, this artistic approach does stir up controversy because some people view appropriation as unoriginal or theft" (ThoughtCo, 2017) An example is the pop art by Andy Warhol entitled campbells soup which depicts this mass produced food as Art (Pictured).

• Pastiche: Cultural artefact composed from ealements appropriated from other works; the term can be used in a derogatory sense to indicate lack of originality, or to refer to works that involve a deliberate and playfully imitative tribute. The frequent resort to pastiche is a characteristic feature of postmodernism.
• Parody: A comical pastiche of something where the style of an artist, writer or genre is appropriated. E.g Scary movie directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans which parodies Scream directed by Wes Craven.
• Irony: The use of words/images to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.
• Ideology: the science behind ideas and the study of their origin and nature.
• Genre: A style of something usually art, music, media or literature that defines the characteristics that art form.
