The enraging up-voice

Find here, starting at about 52 minutes, a perfect example of what I call up-voice. When I come across such a case, I consider starting a company to administer electric shocks to people who realize they are speaking in a way that does not benefit them.

Or am I being an old fogey, and this is merely a transitioning of our language?
