It's my powerful aura. Notice some people can pick out things they think are embarrassing, like Dean Blunt and Sasha, but they don't seem to stick; Luke's completely forgotten I made a Brian Jonestown Massacre thread and his response was "You can't be serious."
As for Linebaugh's theory, it only holds up if he considers Len and Sheryl Crow "clearly cool". I suppose you could think I'm being ironic when I listen to stuff like that, but then that would mean anything "uncool" I post could never be taken as a genuine endorsement anyway or is warped into being cool by my posting it.
I've dug my own tasteful grave.
