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?
"'Cool' is involving. 'Hot' is not."--Marshall McLuhan (I think)
