I was the first one, out of everyone that i knew, listening to them. Few years later and *everyone* was listening to them. There was a lot of things i was into before it was "cool". But it didn't matter 'cause no listens to me anyway. Which it turns out, is good, because once things become too well known or popular. People have a way of ruining it.
