If I were asked to describe the core idea of postfurry in a single phrase, I'd say "radical self-authorship".

Two years or so I asked a partner to define poststructuralism, and he answered "y'know what I literally went to grad school to study that and I'm still not sure I could tell you."

If I were to take a very reductive stab at it, I'd say it's the notion that our concept of anything having inherent and inviolate essential meaning is a fake idea.
