Pastiche- "An imitation of a renowned artist's work consists of a number of motifs copied from authentic works combined into a new work in such a way as to give the impression of being a newly discovered original by that artist." It is basically something that copies an excising product and adds in new bit but as an audience we can tell where they got the idea from, it is usually a piss take of something else for example Austin powers  has elements of James bond.

Hyper-reality - As a relatively new school of painting, hyperrealism is a recognized outgrowth of the school of photorealism. Through convincing photographic imagery, hyperrealist painters routinely create a two-dimensional simulation of a three-dimensional reality: Hyper reality
