    Nothing.
    Nothing's cool anymore because there's so much vertically integrated culture that you can get all your validation and recognition and sympathetic art forms all on your damn phone anytime you want it - there's not a huge stratified consensus culture that has a huge number of people identifying with a small number of memes. It's the opposite. If anything what's cool is a rejection of anything that sets out to be a trend. Internet killed it all, and by and large good riddance. Same shitty pants and bands and music being sucked up from one end of the world to the other. I'd rather we all laugh at cat gifs and watch Vice films about pcp.
