If something is cool I'm garunteed not to like it. Pretty much all classic rock is . If it's new and played on MTV, then it's cool. Simple as that.

It seems that rap and hip hop is cool among middle school kids. At my high school prog metal is cool, like Dream Theater, Opeth, and then bands like In Flames, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, and also whatever the hell you want to listen to is cool. Like for example, my friends and I listen to anything - jazz, fusion, prog, space rock, shoegazer, post rock, acid rock, post-grunge, grunge, indie, alt rock, rock in small proportions, metal, prog metal, and that's about it. There's nothing that's really uncool, except rap and country, mainly because people are really getting tired of mindless conformity and are embracing self expression. I find it odd that the most popular people are the ones who everyone else thinks is the least cool. I also find it odd that the popular people are scared of hippies and goths. The geeks inherit earth!

Prog can be cool. "White Mountain" by Genesis makes me feel like I'm in Alaska. And whenever "Supper's Ready" reaches "As Sure as Eggs is Eggs" I feel so cold but the heart is warm.
BTW I probably missed the point. I don't think prog is like cool.

Please God, NO!!!!

Cool is terrible thing to be. Remember "Cool Britannia" and the appalling Britpop era? Put me off cool for life.

Prog is HOT!
