To the post-literate as to the never more than semi-literate (especially those with college credentials) all adult vocabulary sounds like what they would call "post-modernist" babble.
TV has made even the "educated" idiots. That blog is the home to some of the worst of those I've seen.
By the way, they don't know the meaning of "post-modernist" they just know they're not supposed to like it because that's how they heard the word used. Lots of the words they throw around are held in their minds as the most marginally informed, random sounds of passive vocabulary, recognized as words but without them understanding any of their denotative significance. They'd think that sentence didn't mean anything because of that. It's "haaarrrrrrd".
