What is hyperreal?
The phenomenon of a medium breaking the fourth wall to speak to the beholder.
Hyperrealism orients itself in contrast to post-realism in which a CHARACTER breaks the fourth wall to speak to the viewer. This involves the employment of juxtaposition a conspicuous motif of postmodernism.
Hyperrealism is preceded by inter-realism an instance of media coverage of the circumstances of other media in contrast to media coverage of real stances.

Hyperreal - what is it?
Cyberpunk aesthetic that is characterized by overexposure and contrapositive linearity (lines formed by self-referencing colors).
In contrast to postmodern cyberpunk in which lines are formed by deconstructed objects juxtaposed with each other and with a futurist ambience.
Chillwave a musical subgenre from 2001 is the first instance of hyperreal cyberpunk. It evolved to hypnagogic pop (dream pop) and finally vaporwave music and aesthetic.
What does "hyperreal" mean?
A phenomenon of late-stage postmodernism that embodies the failure of neo-Marxism to resolve religious dogma.
Analogous to hypernormalization: the consensus reality absurdism of late-stage communism that embodies the failure of Marxism to resolve egoism.
Hyperrealism is the individual's experience in the last stages of the failure of postmodernism's (neo-Marxism's) attempt to replace religion.
Hyperreal - what does it mean?
Hyperreality is design-centric skeuomorphic experience that exists in an increasingly fault-tolerant user experience in which objects are being deconstructed to their mimetic attributes. A tangible example of this is the touch-screen keypad replacing the flip phone keypad.
This has measurable impact on cultural consumers; who now define a product as an intersection between form and function (analogous to whole and sum-of-parts unity in modernism). Form-function unity induces a parallel revolution in material design and composition. (Even the term “material design” is an oxymoron in postmodernism.)
The increasing prevalence of skeuomorphs in disparate technological contexts and mediums means that culturally, the fake converges with the real in a hyperreality or augmented-reality-as-an-interface existence. This is evidenced by the rise of virtual reality, Google glass, Pokemon Go, virtual geo-cache incentivization, and most significantly, false social nodes (filter bubbles) created by online social networks that have an off-world impact.
Created by Rene Girard's theory of mimetics, Rene Baudrillard's Simulacra, and Kashif Vikaas's Theory of Hypermodernism.
McLuhan's argument that 'the media is the message' is the founding assumption of postmodern mass communication theory. Hyperreality creates instances in which the message (now the skeuomorph) becomes the medium.
