Shouldn't the inverse be true? If a small percentage of evangelical developers made it cool, couldn't they make it uncool? The hip techies making fun of internet explorer, aol, and myspace certainly made a difference to the general public who didnt know any better.

Techies definitely didn't make it cool across the general population. It became cool through brand association with cool phones and MP3 players and its aesthetics.
