Things that are cool in the modern day

Watching some Family Guy today and i spotted some celebrity giving Peter a tip for being cool

"have sex with sunglasses on"

Like most animated shows, it really inspired me/made me wonder. In this case, my wonder is...what is "cool" these days? It seems to be so much harder to be cool than it used to be. In the above example, the having of sex or the wearing of sunglasses on its own would be cool maybe 10 years back, but i think that bars been raised higher. Bill and Ted/Waynes World guys look badly dated and thats all we had to go on back in 'day!

Anyways, in your own time, what do you think is/would be cool in today?

It's now cool to say you prefer a musician's earlier work.

Atari Jaguar

Safe bet would be "the opposite of anything Family Guy endorses".

What a piece-of-shít show.

Air conditioning is cool..

ShadowHearth · 29-10-2011 08:43PM

Cool: being a town drunk

Retro is cool...well i think so. I love anything and everything from the 70s & 80's from cars to tv programmes to clothes.

Wow - without the canned laughter, im not sure whether that was on his show or what.

More convincing than any RSA ad

Being on the dole is cool!

You're very touchy. I would have thought a decade of listening to people calling Family Guy a piece-of-shít show would mean it's now like water off a ducks back.

leonidas83 · 29-10-2011 09:04PM

Well i may not know of things that are cool nowadays but theres somethings that used to be cool & aint anymore and thats hardwork. Plenty of lazy ****ers now willing to sponge off the dole, jerk themselves off all day and go out at the weekends all at the expense of the irish people.

FortuneChip · 29-10-2011 09:07PM

Chewing a toothpick - Cool
Scorpion Satin Jacket - Cool
Not saying anything to a bird because you're so cool - Cool

The Davestator · 29-10-2011 09:14PM

Looking and dressing like a homeless person appears to be all the rage with the cool kids these days. Spend ages looking like you don't bother to get ready to go out. (I'm clearly old)

It's not so cool if you sign on with a fresh packet of smokes in your pocket and can't say no!

Chewing a toothpick - Cool

As Eddie Izzard has pointed out, you need to take care with the toothpick-chewing look, as you can go very wrong by adding a second toothpick in the opposite corner of your mouth. One toothpick: looking quite cool. Two toothpicks: looking like a dickhead.

You run a similar risk with eye patches.
