"examples of postmodern architecture, high and low, commercial and arty, weird and wonderful, and from all over the world, highlighting how stylistic liberty is, was and will always be a joyous thing"
can "modern" elements be features then in the PoMo themes?
... well, probably what you say might be the better answer.
But in some cases, or I would say, in most cases, with different sub-features.
Kos, would love to see a case where modern is a feature with different sub features, sounds interesting.

Their style is so scary

When people come to see 'em
They really are a scream
