Once again I must clarify everything....:)
People that we identify as cool write their *own* stories and create their
*own* experiences. Their life is good enough. They aren't interested in
vicariously enjoying the stories, (in this case, CM) of others. Youth
and vicarious activity don't really go together, although there are a few
daydreamers in every crowd. Vicarious enjoyment as a necessity seems to
come with age---even for those that were cool in their youth.
One may argue that the cool ones listen to pop music, but I would say it's
more accessorizing (sp?) their "happening" lifestyle than for losing
themselves in the musings of others.
