Decent article- great cultural anthropology

There's a stance I feel is being missed - especially in relation to countries with strong working class/peasant communities. There's ultimately a reason why Elon Musk will never be cool. He lacks the pure earned grace that self created meritous achievements provide.

Think of the 'coolest' people of American history. Elvis Presley. Tupac Shakur. Nina Simone. Mark Twain. They all come from backgrounds in which they had to overcome adversity. Point is, one of the few things that can be reliably determinate as to the cause of 'cool' in the first place is authenticity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:CF14:5201:40BC:68F5:F4D7:375F (talk) 09:52, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If anybody can find anything cool for any reason how can there be a standard for cool? 2600:8800:5210:4E00:94F7:86B8:9F75:BF5 (talk) 15:08, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In the overview section's third sentence ("One consistent aspect however, is that cool is wildly seen as positive and desirable."), change "wildly" to "widely". 75.44.76.175 (talk) 01:45, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 4 external links on Cool (aesthetic). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070928080859/http://www.westafricaarticles.info/Article/The-Benin-Empire/221 to http://www.westafricaarticles.info/Article/The-Benin-Empire/221
• Corrected formatting/usage for http://www.jazz.com/
• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070119170705/http://www.kfccinema.com/reviews/swordplay/lastsamurai/lastsamurai.html to http://www.kfccinema.com/reviews/swordplay/lastsamurai/lastsamurai.html
• Corrected formatting/usage for http://www.high.org/uploadedFiles/overview/newsroom/LouvreAtlantaReleaseFINAL%282%29.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Cool is not always perceived as positive, though it is said to be in this overview, so I am planning to take out that word. This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

• If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
• If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Cheers.—InternetArchiveBot (Report bug) 20:48, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This section of the article uses several quotations from Thompson, though it is cited, when it should be paraphrased. ~~duponts2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Duponts2 (talk • contribs) 17:36, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
