It turns out even a more elaborate term like "post-Webern modernism" doesn't really mean an aesthetic or style of music that came after Webern, but rather is more often used as a derogatory term to refer a specific handful of composers some critics don't like, Boulez, Stockhausen and Cage in particular.
These labels are often used to lump certain composers (who are often very different from each other in many ways) together in neat little boxes, as in the serialists, the atonalists, the avant-gardists, the aleatoricists, the micro-tonalists, the electronic composers, etc. They can be used legitimately to put an actual movement in historical context, but often they seem to be used merely as a facile way to dismiss a large and varied body of music in a belittling way.
