I've never heard of half of those bands.

Congratulations?

I'm a very uncool 40-something from a different continent than most of them and I've heard of all but 2..

I'm not sure why congratulations are in order. I'm not bragging that I don't know them I just don't know them.

I would hope twenty one pilots are in the known pile, I've been a massive fan since Vessel.

5 seconds of summer, nine inch nails, one direction, and 30 seconds to Mars.

That are loads that fit this category but I just don't know all of them. For example I've heard of 99 red balloons but I didn't know that was the name of the band, I thought it was the name of the song.
