In contemporary usage, parody is a form of satire that imitates another work of art in order to ridicule or poke affectionate fun at either the work itself, or the subject of the work, or in some cases simply the subject of the parody.
Parody exists in all art media, including literature, music, and cinema. Cultural movements can also be parodied. Such works are also sometimes colloquially referred to as spoofs.
Western origin
In ancient
Greek literature, a parody was a type of poem that imitated another poem's style. Indeed, the Greek roots of the word
parody are
par- ("beside" or "subsidiary") and
-ody ("song", as in
ode). Thus, the original Greek meant, roughly, "mock poem".
