Eh, you'll probably like him once you read him. They teach his books a lot in high school English, so you'll maybe get some exposure in...I'm gonna guess 5 years or so.

This is a laundry list of things that are just very obviously the opposite of punk, though. It's like if you asked someone to define "anti-punk," they'd rattle of something very similar to this. It's also in "Microblog Memes," a meme community. The things posted here are jokes, and as such its nature as a joke is reinforced by the context in which the text is presented.
