I never write about pop culture. I think our tolerance for its ephemeral idiocy fades as you mature. But the concept of ‘cool’ was a defining thing once. You either were or you weren’t. You knew it when you saw it but you could not define it. A definition that was indefinable. The writer in me liked writing that sentence.
