The word "cool" has some subtle connotations.  Unruffled.  Slightly
dangerous.  Anti-establishment.  Not too concerned with appearances.
Laid back.  Undemonstrative and unemotional.

I can hardly wait until Pop and Jazz become identified with the
establishment.  That's the day classical music becomes cool.  (Or *could*
become cool if there weren't a lot of hard***** being dogmatic about how
it should be--like me, I guess!)

You can't work at being cool--at least, you can't appear to work at being
cool.

At least one thing is working for us; we're in the minority.  Cool people
are always in the minority.
