Pre-dating postmodern philosophy, we have postmodern art, which has had a huge cultural influence, as does any well known art form.
Our culture is influenced by the works of our philosophers* (they have almost become secular prophets) and artists and it conforms to these cultural ground breakers and joins them in their emancipation of the cuurent culture and joins them in their new era, in this case, a post modern culture.
*Marx is the best example of the impact of philosophical works and Nietzsche another.
