Because Tetris was too hip anyway


It's been a long time since popular culture has had anything about Tetris on the tip of its tongue. But the youth of America want to put a stop to that.

A trio of teenagers has taken their bottle band viral by sharing their own rendition of the Tetris theme on YouTube, where it's so far gathered more than 75,000 views.

It seems the democratization of information on the Internet has succeeded in perpetuating the cult status of the game more than two decades after the Soviet Union stole it from its original inventor and slapped a new title on it -- "From Russia With Fun!" (For the social good, eh, comrade?)

In a testament to the reason Rock Band is so popular, this group of bored teenagers has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that just barely being a musician can, indeed, make you cool.

No wait. Scratch that. It can't.
