Well, I think the minute you start trying to be cool, you aren't.
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else
Cool people don't post on TV Tropes.

Get an air conditioner and/or a fan.
Stick your head in a refrigerator.
Move to Antarctica.

Share as many of my own tastes and opinions as reasonably possible, simple as that. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
Science! says that there are two ways to be cool - being friendly and gregarious or being aloof and 'dangerous'. So either the Fonz or James Dean, I suppose.
Which is true. The Cool Kids in school were always the ones who had their shirts untucked, gave lip to teachers and smoked behind the back of the H-block (Yeah, we had a building called the H-block. Nominally for Humanities Block, but, er, yeah...Now it's the A-block for obvious reasons). But also the popular kids who were friendly and could crack a joke were also cool.

Yeah, cool people should like Star Wars. At the very least they have to have seen it.

Depends whether you want friends or admirers.
Be true to yourself (that is, to who you are). And fuck what others think about you (especially if it's negative shit).
Popped collars, shutter shades, tribal tattoos and swag.

C.S. Lewis said once that you can never be original if you're trying to be original, but if you just try to tell the truth, then half the time you'll wind up being original by accident. I think the same principle applies to cool. Cool people follow their interests without caring whether other people think they're cool.

How to be Cool
Step 1: Be yourself.
GIVE ME YOUR FACE
I'd like to collect some opinions on what really makes a person cool. I'm looking for genuine answers, not cliche social commentary. Please just post your thoughts on the subject, not necessarily what you think the general populace thinks.
