Being "cool" is demographic and cultural specific. I was in Manhattan for a show and having dinner and my SO noticed people coming in restaurant with cowboy hats and western style. She thought it was a spectacle and not cool at all. We discovered there was a rodeo at the Garden . I'm sure those people looked and acted very cool amongst their peers. I'm sure if I was in Alabama I wouldnt be the cool guy.
Interesting. I thought a “cool” person is cool no matter the demographic or culture. Could Lenny Kravitz be cool in one setting and weird or a spectacle in another? Again, interesting…

Yes. Lenny Kravitz would not be cool in all settings.
I think each of us has our own definition of cool. Some think Lenny Kravitz, others think Fonzie.
At least most of us can agree it's more or less the opposite of Jerry Lewis.
Cue the Jerry Lewis fan...
Being cool , originated with black americans, the individuals that were not resentful of things that had happened and were happening. They had no desire to "get" whitey . They were into music and long before white people. Music like blues , jazz , before rock and roll. If not for black people I doubt white folks would have discovered cool.
Being cool to me is about being your own person and not following the crowd but that's not what most people agree is cool. In fact, people who are don't follow the crowd, who march to their own drum, are usually considered weirdos and shunned. For example, young women who are beautiful, extroverted, and fun are usually considered cool. Women who are religious and dress modestly are considered not cool. I would rather not follow the crowd and be my own person even if I end up being called a weirdo.
What does it really mean though? I like to watch the Netflix shows where the young folks all come together and live in a villa. There are various shows. Some are looking for relationships or hookups or jobs.
People are different though. We don’t like the same things. Regardless, you have to be cool to thrive. Do we compromise our values to be cool? Do we instinctively and naturally have “ cool”:genes in our DNA?
Just be the opposite of moi.
