Timing Makes All The Difference

Pretend it is 2000 and a band combines Hot Hot Heat and The Make Up then adds guitar. That woulda been pretty cool, huh?

Now, let's say it is 2009 and a band takes that same combination gets marketed by Pete Wentz and dresses like a bastard child of "hipster emo" with a clever "wiggerish" baseball cap. Not good.

See. Timing can make all the difference.

(Please note: comparing Cobra Starship to musical acts I like in a time period I enjoyed does not say that transporting them to that era would instantly make them cool.)
