modernism: 1960 - onward.
1960 = uncomfortable bras, revolutionary music (pop), Drugs, drug culture, equal rights, colour, hair styles, bellbottoms/flares. protesting, hippies, Vietnam, drugs.
people grew vocal chords, so to speak... that doesn't read right. the public became very vocal about government actions eg. vietnam war. rebellion in western culture is now cool. student-organized protests.
perhaps farm-ville is such a popular game because it is touching (very faintly) on the sort of lives that we should be living.
Modernism could be thought to end in 1960 and be replaced by postmodernism. The Postmodern Condition more accurately describes the social experience that you are attempting to define.
