 Well, pomo is a broad term. Here's a link:

 However, a lot of postmodernism grew out of the cynicism in Europe 
after WWII which let to a bit a moral relativism. Pomo gets blamed for 
that unfairly perhaps, but most "postmodern" works tend to be rather 
cynical.

 The fact is though, that while there are shades of gray, there are 
also blacks and whites. Neither the modernist or postmodernist version 
of reality is truth.
