“Why won’t the superbowl let Kid Rock play with an appearance from the original karate kid? They were relevant once! This is the worst kind of discrimination, discrimination against ME!”

    Oh, my apologies, I didn’t meant to jump off the top ropes to defend pop culture etc. And absolutely, all sorts of routes to cool.

    That being said, I’m a middle age man and am thus by classic definition, the anti cool.

    Believe me, I have an over abundance of confidence, I know I’m cool in all the things that matter. But I also know that my time at the cultural forefront (whether your culture is pop, punk, underground, whatever) has passed, that’s off to the next generation.

    I think of it like, while I still go to some of the larger underground events, I’m not one of the tastemakers that some of my friends were in our youth etc and I damn well won’t have heard of any of the bands but on the other hand, I am at the point where I can help out by buying all the merch.
