The usage of New Sincerity dates back to the mid-1980s, but David Foster Wallace catapulted the term into modern consciousness with his 1993 essay on Television "E Unibus Pluram: Television and U.S. Fiction." The New Sincerity movement was a response to the cynical nature of postmodernism and called for a more engaged relationship with reading audiences. David Foster Wallace's most famous novel, "Infinite Jest," forces the reader into this genre with its non-linear timelines, difficult chapters, and shocking material which forces a reader to actively consume the work. However, the New Sincerity movement has continued into contemporary times with shows like The Sopranos, Ted Lasso, Atlanta, Ramy, and Master of None.
