What is cool? (rock, miles davis, quote, 1990)

Terrible Lizard · 11-20-2008, 07:31 PM

The word "cool" or swoll for some people is a term thrown around at everything whether it be personal, or general. It's thrown around so much that like many other terms like love, hate, evil, ***, and rock n' roll that it has lost it's meaning.

So the point of this thread is, how do you define "cool."

To me, cool is Miles Davis, cool is leather jackets and converse sneakers, cool is music that jams and pulls the listener in, cool in the outlaw who couldn't give a **** for the flow of the river or the dumbass salmon blindly swimming upstream.

But that's to name a few. What about you guys?

Cool is the climate of Fall in Canada (see: Freezing Winter).

Anything wearing sunglasses, apparently.
