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!

5% of the posts I make are completely serious. The other 95% are up for interpretation.
In all seriousness, sure, there are people like that here, but there are people like that everywhere; here seems to actually have the least. But they are still here.
But as far as your point as trying to be cool in 2008, listening to this music can be as much of an attempt to be cool as listening to pop music; it's just a different group that you are trying to impress. Now I'm not really saying that there are a lot of people here doing that, I was just joking. But, if somebody really thought that Sonic Youth fans were the coolest, then they could come on here and drop names like The Fall just as easy as somebody could go on a hardcore forum and drop names like Underoath, and all for the same reason.
My point? I don't know. Just some free thought; take it or leave it.
