Ah, ha. Understood. Granted, the very nature of this discussion is apallingly pretentious, but it's as good a bet as any that people who frequent a Sonic Youth message board are probably going to be at the very least a tiny bit pretentious, from time to time, so we can allow ourselves a bit of superiority.

That could very well have absolutely nothing to do with what you're talking about, but it may as well be said that all of us should be wary of acting too snobbish when it comes to mingling with the masses; for, indeed, how can they learn of greatness if greatness is never shown to them? Goodness knows we can't rely on MTV or ClearChannel to do it. Perhaps is would be best, after all, instead of driving the questioner away with snarky comments and a haughty attitude, to make up a CD of songs they may like. Use yr powers for good, o ye hipsters, not evil.
