Hey, That's Cool

"What happened to being cool?" - David Bielanko

After being pounded for the last 10 years that nerds ostracized in high school are the new "cool", it's somewhat comfortingly surprising that the definition of cool can still be "a person who shows a relaxed intensity," thanks to American Cool, an exhibit at the Smithsonian this summer.

Points deducted for not having a picture of Joe Strummer in the post, of course.

BONUS: See my review of 30 albums that define cool.
