Or more likely a desire to be cool at all costs.

I'm getting increasingly tired of the way so many people I meet seem to think that a certain lack of engagement, a reluctance to believe anything or a general 'so what' mentality makes them somwhow superior to those of us 'naive' enough to think otherwise.

Damn this Generation X/Y/Z/whatever bullshit.

yeah, I hate that shit too.
I am a passionate person, and for the things I love (music, art, books, science, sports) I am a fucking JUNKIE, but for anything else I could care less.

one can not care about anything, but all you do is end up boring.

interesting people are ussually even more interesting becuse they themeslves are interested in the world around them

I have these symptoms, but I swear it's not out of a desire to be "cool".

coolness is something that has to be given and can't just be claimed. it's hard to maintain people's opinions about you when you just don't really care....

please don't get me wrong, I try to attempt a friendly "interested" demeanor, but if somebody doesn't like me (or I consider them an ass), it's really easy for me to write them off.

I laugh at people striving to be cool. They waste their money to be 'in' and do stupid shit for respect from friends often.

Last night Ian MacKaye talked about this, and how it's 'cool' not to sing along with the song at shows. He said "Don't give us that cool bullshit".

You can be cool by taking a look at the world around you and saying, fuck, I'm having none of that and so withdrawing into yourself or some kind of tiny clique.

What I increasingly see now though is people taking this option without having really seen enough to actually know whether the world is worth withdrawing from in the first place. It just seems to them like the right thing to do.

Cool is less about making consumer decisions (which are fine, no matter how 'shallow' they may be) so much as a state of mind: that nothing really matters; that everything is relative; that everything has already been done.

This is the type of 'cool' that I see all the time, and it's soooo fucking booooring.

I think ive been unconcerned with cool for so long that being as such somehow makes me cool... so do i need to care about being cool to be uncool as i was before... or does acknowledging the existence of cool make you uncool... and so make you unconcerned with being cool... which means you are cool, and to return to your previous state of uncoolness you must care about being cool...
Thinking about coolness is vicious circle

Regarding people singing along at shows, the problem is not about it being "cool" or "uncool." The problem is that it's super fucking annoying.

Well its kinda like the ones on the outside are swinging away and passing vibrations through those in the middle, giving them sensation without movement.
Much like coolness. Or something.

Don't worry about yourself being too cool. Seriously, you have nothing to worry about.

I thought that only children worried about being cool. The only people who know me and think that I am cool are my nieces and my nephews, and even them take the mickey out of the music that I listen to and the clothes I wear, occasionally. I'll go with Robert Instigator's way of life.
