Do you really believe that?
I see comments like this all of the time that indicate the people on this board are a cliquish group who listen to music to be "cool", but I really don't find it to be the case at all.
There is such rampant disagreement between people here about what they like in any genre, and really if anybody were trying to be cool in 2008, why on Earth would they hang out on a Sonic Youth message board to begin with?
I frequently find myself at odds with various people here about music I love or dislike. I would describe this group as a bunch of highly individualistic music geeks who for the most part share a common interest in Sonic Youth, but can't even agree on which aspects of
that band they approve of!
