gonna realize that they're just not either hip, or cool. They keep
trying to coopt the music of people who are (without asking), and they
keep getting slapped down for it. Did it ever occur to them to simply
ask first? Why risk a public smackdown from a celebrity whose cachet
you just tried to hitch a ride? I'm sure many artists would be (are)
proud to have their work showcased thus.

Problem is of course, they're not cool.
