What it is to be cool

[Snowflake]

Well, I think LoT is cool, but this is what cool is according to wikipedia

To many, I am a square, man.

I dig that timeline of cool - but I think it's missing pieces

Who cares what Wiki thinks is cool! Cool is a state of mind. It's being a leader not a follower. It's why I wear retro clothing. I don't care what anyone else thinks about what I wear. I am going to wear my leather jackets and my cardigan sweaters and I don't care who tells me not to. I'm not going to wear clothes with designer labels painted on them, and a hat backwards because everyone is doing it. I am going to be my own man, with my own style, and my own razzamatazz. You dig?

It's a wiki, edit it.

It also seems to be about ten - fifteen years off.

Well, I thought it was an entertaining read. I almost never take anything at Wiki at face value entirely (unless I've edited it )

I thought it was funny that there was so much space devoted to it.

I was not swanky enough to know that the timeline was off by so much. So I guess it's time for subtraction of mojo.

Personally, I enjoy the envy, resentment, and perceived elitism of coolness, or as I prefer to coin it, swank.

I'm the mom of a Tweener. I'm the epitome of uncoolness, at least for the next decade. Except when she needs money, of course.

I've been called an "Embarassment to Nature". My favorite one was "Mom, me and my friends know style. And you .... don't"

Ouch. I think that is something you need to remind her of down the road.

Snowflake, no removing of mojo! Obviously interesting as it has responses, no?

Egads, cool. What is cool. Someone I think is cool is someone who doesn't judge others on their coolness and interests, etc. That's cool.

Oh, or, that's hot? {insert TM}
