There are definitely patterns of what is cool, it is always what media makes the hottest trend, people who make the trends, etc. But to understand what cool is hard. It is true that some of us do get cooler cools than others for example most of the rappers and basket ball stars are black while the rock stars are white. So what is cooler being a rapper or rocker.... you'll probably get rapper as an answer 95% of the time.

I don't think coolness is the entire reason why there is racial or class or gender marginalization but it is part of the reason. For example class wise, lower class sometimes are only given certain roles to play. They usually are not given choice to recieve good education and be able to move to an upper class, so they can choose the coolest role given and this usually ends in them jobless or low - wage job.

When we are young being cool is hugely part of our lives but once one gets older you realize that it wasn't worth it because you could've been doing something you really wanted , living well or just being happy. But then again what do I know only lived part of mine. Coolness can be consolation to one because it's all about the present and how cool we are seen and important we feel at the moment, so who cares about later but if we don't have the chance to get the "better prizes" why not choose to be cool. It's tough, to understand the contributers to cool when everyone has different situation, family, community, etc.
