It's raising up one band, while covering your ears and shouting "Na na na!" to every other band that contributed to the scene.

Whilst I agree with a lot of the points you've raised about Led Zep, you need to remember that Chula was around in the 1970s when Led Zep were doing all of the above, so he would've lived and breathed with the band as it were and views the band with a certain amount of nostalgia, and they were the highest profile band to do all the aspects that you're picking him up on.
