you must not know me. And yes listening to Zep and Floyd and others when your only 19 like me does set you apart. Being cool has absolutely no bearing on what I listen to. On the contrary when It had everything to do with what I listened to, I was listening nonstop to rap and modern music. That is why I say that I took down my musical barriers and realized that music isn't meant to make you cool. What I listen to is what I truly like, and most kids that have their head up their ass listening to the latest rap songs all the time look at me and can't even understand why I listen to what I do. If your 50 years old and you're wearing a zeppelin shirt you got at the 77 swan song tour, you're probly not wearin it to be cool. If your 17 and your wearin the same shirt, yet you don't even have a clue of what swan song is, then your probly wearing it to be cool. Bungalowbill just has to go against anything I say. I agree with you boo boo. Younger people that are discovering these old bands like floyd, zep, the who, etc. and taking a liking to it not becuase it makes them cool, but that they realize it is great music with real honest talent and meaningful lyrics, is really cool. I like music that works my brain, and rap doesnt, it just gives me a headache and makes me feel dumb.
