I don't think you can compare Animal Collective with them. I mean, it's fine to not like them (though I'm personally a huge fan, but I thought everyone on there knew that already), but they've not been hyped for no reason. They've been releasing albums and touring non stop (seriously. I've been able to see them three times in a year in Lille - I mean, that's not New York or London. That's Lille), evolving constantly (it's not like they've been doing the same formula for 9 years), exploring a broad range of music, from noise to freak folk to electronic pop to blahblahblah. |

Sonic Youth always have been 'cool', and probably always will be. Thankfully, they're not 'hot', and I don't think they have ever been--not even in the early '90s. There's a big difference between 'cool' and 'hot'. Lady Gaga is 'hot'. Do you want that for Sonic Youth?

SY are just as cool and relevant as ever, they just dont make albums like they used to. They have tons of side projects and interests and they all have families. As for the Rolling Stones, they should have retired in the early 70's and spared their leggacy from being tarnished by everything that followed Exile on Main St. which isnt even that great of a record to begin with.

Long live Tyler and yes, J-Jagger. I know they can.
Sonic Youth are cool. Cool is mild self-consciousness, following your peers and then going back to your own thing. It's a cool economy that SY perform in, though. |

SY probably are cool. The problem is that's probably all they are now.

I'd say Sonic Youth are infinitely uncool in a very cool way. The only thing that is less cool (in a hip way) is to spend time denigrating a band on their own website message board.

Cool in the way that they've made amazing music in the past, yes. Cool that there is a lot of history there, a lot of great stories to tell. The immense level of influence they've had on other bands is pretty cool, too.
As far as where they currently stand, they are kinda like the Dead. Fun to follow, but haven't evolved much musically in ages. Sometimes I wonder if Nurse will forever stand as their last AMAZING record. I hope not. They're still are one of my favorite bands, but not because of anything they've done over the last few years. |
