Some people are born cool, others try to thrust it upon themselves and it doesn't work. That kid in your 5th-grade class who wore bunny ears every day and wanted people to refer to him as The Rabbitmaster, that's a cool kid. The person who judges other people for continuing to wear ankle socks even though they're "so millennial," that's not a cool person. That's a person who is so concerned with being cool that they become uncool in the process.
Cool is not something you can earn, it's something that finds you early. Coolness is all about marching to the beat of your own drum and not caring what anyone else thinks of it. That's how trends get started. Someone does something off-kilter and pulls it off so confidently that everyone else wants to do it too. It's the Regina George effect. But lucky for you, you already passed the cool test, because you're here at Memebase.
