Absurdist
"Absurdism expresses the meaninglessness of life whose only beauty is self-contradiction."Absurdism lacks the manifestos of Dadaism and Surrealism and has had little popularity outside of the theatre community until recent years. Media now refers to any over-the-top or crude comedy as absurdist, completely diluting the term until it's become descriptively useless. Even those working in absurdism today tend to rely on vague, philosophical definitions or merely use analogies to previous authors. No one has come up with a compact, concrete description similar to surrealism's dream metaphor.
