'modernism' is/was a (poorly named) philo-artistic 'movement'.

postmodernism just refers to a movement that came into existence (or at least into fashion) after modernism. it's at least as old as the 50s or 60s.

Well, yeah, and 'futuristic' refers to what we thought the future would look like in the 70s.
Maybe not exactly the term "futuristic", but "space age" in the sense of "space age design" certainly means 1960s/1970s style even if we are still technically in the space age.
Nah, futuristic style from the 70s is called retrofuturistic. There used to be a bar in that 70s space age style in Berlin, sadly it seems to have closed.
i guess i just don't follow how you're connecting these notions.
