Is this post-modern? Or is this just fantasy?

• We've created a new playlist, from various genres, this whole playlist is one big intertextual reference
• It doesn't conform to one genre, because it features Indie Rock, Classical, Pop Punk and others
• It has acknowledged itself as a playlist, it's function is to be listened to 
• In some ways, the fact the music was on my iPod and these songs have made it onto the playlist, it's paying homage to the bands and artists work 
• It's recycling culture, creating something new to experience for everyone, diversifying the environment the songs were intended to listen to when being made.
