seriously? Urban cliches and DECADES of emulation? How about, I dunno, THE VELVET UNDERGROUND?
Lou grew up in Long Island, and he met Sterling when they were both at Syracuse University - they got Moe through her older brother, who also went there. John Cale got out of Wales and into the States on the basis of a Leonard Bernstein scholarship, which he quickly ditched in favour of playing 18-hour piano sessions with John Cage and working with La Monte Young in the Dream Syndicate. As far as I know, the only non-academic was Angus Maclise, but he wasn't in for very long - Doug Yule went to University too, not sure if he graduated or not.

Pantera?
here's an easy one: middle class white college kids, one even with a paid scholarship, cash in on urban cliches, con decades of younger white college kids to continue emulating them for the rest of time.

Well played. I thought urban cliches was a musical reference.
Stones could work too, except I don't think any of them had a scholarship and they didn't all go to college. I meant cliche more in the sense of walking around new york on speed dressed in all black and believing in your own self importance at 25, not so much the lyrics.
