It may be weird to you, but this was indeed cool at a point.

I wrote the same review over 20 years ago on amazon.com. It was never cool. That kid you went to school with that only wore black jeans was not one of the cool ones.

It says more about your own perspective then about the actual coolness of those guys.

I think you have substituted a cope definition for the word 'cool' that removes the social aspect of it, which is pretty convoluted.

I think those guys are great, my friends are those guys, I'm one of those guys, but nobody thinks they are cool.
