Postmodernism was never alive in the sense to which the parent refers. Now that we've neatly rejected the premise of that comment, let's move on: nobody cares or knows about transmodernism, or any other literary movement (be it imaginary, as — in the case of transmodernism — or otherwise)
The days in which a movement could be dominant are long past us. That's sort of the point.

Transmodernism isn't a literary movement, and no one needs to know what it is for it to become the dominant intellectual paradigm.

It's easy to say you've figured out what everyone is doing if you just introduce a term and define it as "what everyone is doing".

Pretty much no one is into Monstransmodism, which is why it will inevitably garner majority mindshare. (And therefore has already triumphed -- and pre-receded. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.)
I think transmodernism is pretty clearly on track to win right now. Just look at the rapid increase in states legalizing marijuana for medical and recreational purposes.
