What is the definition of “cool”?
Main Post:
So this is a tougher question than you think. Most of the definitions of cool have to do with temperature. What I want to know is how do you define the word cool when in reference to a person or persons. My first guess was “popular” but there are millions of “cool people who weren’t popular. For example was Lou reed cool in the beginning? When his record sold 30,000 units and everyone that bought it started a band? Yes the velvet underground and Nico were very cool, not popular. My best definition is, “interesting in a positive way”.
Top Comment: Its a combination of things. One is being self-assured. So not caring about what others think of one's self-expression while also not being obnoxious about it. The other is not being easily offended and remaining composed when handling challenging social situations.
