I'm sorry, but these highschool girls being real into Aerosmith brings me out of it lol.
LOL right? Me too! And I have no idea why that's where the line is. XD
Not sure why. A LOT of kids who don't really jibe with contemporary music find an identity with older artists/scenes. Sometimes they were introduced to that music through their parents, or they just feel a kinship with it (or they want that "I do my own thing" feeling of liking something other than what's popular among their classmates.)
Aerosmith may have started in the 70's, but I guarantee you still find teenagers wearing stuff for the Rolling Stones and the Doors and Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath and Misfits and Bowie and whatever else from that era or earlier too. Part of me thinks its kind of a nostalgia for the time when musicians were kind of mysterious and larger than life. I think there's still a lot of cultural cache and integration for artists, even alternative or niche ones, that came up during the pre-internet years when everyone could pretty much count on everyone else having the same media touchstones.
