ILX's poster-to-poster insult of choice at the moment, it seems.

What does it mean? How is it different from just run-of-the-mill negative criticism?

Erm, that Radio 6 (whatever the hell it's called) wedding ad is sneering. It's different because it's not just being negative vaguely constructively, it's just nasty and vindictive and far too smugly superior. viz moment on university challenge last night when answer to question is 'bob dylan' when entire oxford team get it right and then proceed to nod sagely all 'haha I am musically superior bow down to me O un-muso mortal!' (A bit like a good friend who once claimed that most people wouldn't have heard most of Simon and Garfunkel's rather famous songs...)
