So this is a song about being cool by Chicago-based Cool Kids. Other than excellent use of 80's-era sounds (and much, much bass), The Cool Kids are interesting because they're the first step towards something that had to evolve eventually: indie-kid hip hop.
There's still a fair amount of swagger, but it's hard to imagine anybody else in hip hop bragging about Fruity Pebbles, Star Wars belts, Sega Genesis (with Street Fighter, no less) and bikes-as-in-bicycles. It's the same ironic, hipster-cool that's a big part of indie, only with massive, massive bass.
