The "Cool"

I have taken notice to a few things during my life in college.


The "Cool" thing to do is to be "Uncool".


Let me explain; it has become extremely cool to mimic people who are in fact individuals and then proclaim that you yourself are in fact "cool" and "different"

EXAMPLE

* Kelis cuts hair- every black girl I know cuts hair, and becomes the BIGGEST Kelis fan of all time resiting each song line for line BOSSY this BOSSY that.....

 But the same girls weren't rocking the Hot Pink Fro in 2000 or 2001

But the "uncool" got cool with "Bossy"


* (Sighs) Rihanna.....

Well we all know that once again cutting your hair has become "cool" again, now along with being "hipster Chic".

- Metallic anything

This idea about the "cool" "uncool" isnt just limited to ladies


I would like to start by saying I would like to kick all the guys who once talked shit about skinny jean and are now wearing them in the nuts.


This time last year almost every guy I ran into said " Naw I cant do that skinny jean Sh**"  and not only were they saying this they were talking smack about the guys who actually did wear the skinnys. 

NOW almost every guy I know wears pants tighter then mine, don't get me wrong skinny jeans CAN be a good look. All I am saying is DON'T be a hypocrite if you once talked badly about skinnys DON'T make that the only kind of jean you own now. 
Further more, the skinny jean on a male CAN be a great look, but there are far too many men wearing them wrong! Guys your pants should NOT look like leggings, yes they can be tight but they should still look like jeans. 


Finally if I hear one more guy 
say they started a trend here in Chicago I may kill myself, fellas its ok for you to have seen something in a magazine, on TV, even on another guy and try it for yourself.  it is ok I promise. Just don't proclaim you started t if you didn't. 


What I want everyone to take from this is be yourself. Yes it is cool to have idols but don't try to become them (ladies) Men be true to yourself. Mimicking someone and pretending that you didn't isn't cool. 



The "unCool" isn't  the new "Cool" being yourself is.
