being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and itā€™s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic youā€™re passionate about

This version of cool began in Williamsburg by trustafarian hipsters circa 2005 and now IS the traditional version of cool.

hearing people talk about the weird stuff they love confidently makes them 10000x cooler!! plus itā€™s so sweet to see what seemingly random things people care about!

passion and enthusiasm is wayyyyy cooler than apathy. so if your passionate about something don't let anyone make you feel like it's lame because everything that is now deemed "cool" had to have early adopters like you :)

Stay tapped out but be really enthusiastic about pursuing shared experiences with your friends even when theyā€™re not really your thing. Your pals get to experience the joy of introducing you to new shit, you get to try new stuff without the work of cultivating 100 esoteric interests, and when itā€™s your turn to get into something niche (I guarantee thereā€™s at least 1 thing youā€™re kind of a freak about) there will be people around to reciprocate Itā€™s fun as long as no oneā€™s an asshole about it :)

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining peopleā€™s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends - fake words that people now use IRL (ā€œunaliveā€), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, ā€œalpha maleā€ podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche thingsā€¦ the list goes on
