Dada or Dadaism 

[French, from dada, child's word for a horse or just plain baby talk]

 Nihilistic* movement in the arts that flourished chiefly in France, Switzerland, and Germany from about 1916 to about 1920 [and later -ed.] and that was based on the principles of

·        deliberate irrationality

·        anarchy

·        cynicism

·        rejection of laws of beauty and social organization

*Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence. A true nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy.
