Sonic Youth perfectly define most conceptions of postmodernism: freely borrowing from high and low culture and turning them into something that defies both. In this respect they join a tradition within (for want of a better word) 'rock' music that also includes The Beatles, The Velvets, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Radiohead, Bjork and Sigur Ros. In this respect, Bebop and Fusion jazz are other styles which embrace certain key elements of postmodernism.
IAs such, a band like the Butthole Surfers are arguable even more interesting. They also focused on hierarchies, but those that existed almost entirely within the confines of low culture. Before they arrived, the 'heavy rock' influence of bands such as Sabbath and Led Zep had been effectively exorcised from post-punk rock. By fusing this influence with more 'acceptable' elements of hardcore, punk, etc., they took the idea of the postmodern into a totally unexpected direction - based around the idea that within 'high' and 'low' culture there remains a hierarchy of high and low culture. If that makes sense.
