What does "least-cool bike" mean in practical terms?

when the Trek Crossrip is called "rad", I'd take least-cool, very-cool etc.... catch phrases from the same, with a huge grain of salt.

Bikeforums -- where a thread about a bike that is specifically designed for racing on gravel somehow turns up the only person in biking that prefers aluminum, and somehow gets into a discussion of Salsa's mountain bikes?
For my next trick I'm going to go to a baking forum and talk about grilling.

Apparently train people get very agitated about original layout versus replica railyards. Very.
I guess it is the rim versus disc brake thread of the model train forum world.

I was into model trains as a kid but I had no idea about anything like proper scale and accuracy and such. I was also really into Micromachines, because, again, I was a kid. I remember going to a model train show once and talking to a older guy about his layout, and I excitedly mentioned something about Micromachines and he scoffed and snorted as if I'd shown up to a road ride on a wal-mart huffy. Fun guy.

I think he is referring to the way the seatstay attaches to the seat tube in line with the top tube compared to some newer bikes where the seatstay attaches to the seat tube a couple of inches below the top tube.
This is probably to maintain the VR 5 flex in the seatstays, makes them more flexy.

More flexy on the Salsa VR with the longer seatstay. They use the same design on the Cutthroat and it has seatstays that attach at the toptube.
