Much of it seems to be "Simpson's" references, but I guess those are also internet memes.

I agree, but would add that even if a younger generation member was writing an informational blog that had an international audience then he should also use slang sparingly. I think an occasional use of popular slang terms can spice up popular writing but overdoing it is like over-seasoning your cooking.
