YoungNastyShawtySo I said this in a few of my videos recently but black culture has historically been seen as cool by black people and non black people. If you listen to any older white person talk about wu tang, they thought they were so cool. These young rappers are not cool niggas.
I don’t wanna sound like an old man cause there’s for sure some cool young niggas but man a lot of young people in general are lame. Their culture is TikTok. I can’t blame them. Everything is so homogenized with social media, that when somebody does something different it’s crazy now. Regional sounds are dying out. All the slang young kids use is just s*** from TikTok.
Just a long rant to say this is bigger than hip hop and a society problem. Even young people in sports be lame (shoutout Cade Cunningham. Seem like a cool nigga) but yeah I think that’s a problem a lot of people are having with new hip hop these days
How do you define cool?

rustcohlestan2i think to be a “cool rapper” now is to have the spirit of 2pac, the rapping ability of kendrick, and the aesthetic of carti. once a nigga is able to combine all of the above it’s over

Worldpremiere_Lack of regionality is a good point. More and more kids are moving from place to place during formative years due to the economy. Its something even i think about even with my own music. Its really sad and bigger than hip hop fr
Tbh, I like to add that they're also kids who just don't connect with their home region's music that much.
During my younger years, I resonated more with 90s and 2000s East Coast Hip-hop more than the South until more recent years.

When has a giant mismatch between aesthethics and content ever been cool?
Cool people in the media usually embody something- Oct 28, 2025
But internet and capitalism are the death of culture is basically what it boils down too i guess
Oct 28, 2025·1 replyIdk I don't think I can view younger rappers as cool because age plays a role in the end. Its different when you are 16 and all these rappers older than you.

Its pretty much impossible to be cool and famous nowadays
You have to be hyperaware and everything you do is getting clipped and will be available for millions to see
Your brain knows this and will adjustBeing cool is appearing effortless. This is the opposite of that

How do you define cool?
You either you got it or you don’t tbh
Feel like it’s heavily culturally conditioned though at the end of the day

FREENah I disagree but that's also prolly because my point was tied to other mediums and the general societal decline of young men in general.
Your point you just made would work if I was just talking about music but I'm talking about stuff much larger with music included as an example.
kind of a false equivalence tho

If coolness changes yet our definition doesn’t, could we not be witnessing coolness but are ourselves uncool?

it’s that & just the fact that facade doesn’t exist anymore the niggas people thought were the coolest niggas ever are typing away on twitter or podcasting, ghost got his own son on his head for being a deadbeat, rza…guitar center

I mean I think @Nikedufflebag kinda said it best, I think the threshold of what’s considered cool really depends on your age honestly
Most of this site considers Ken lame asf (and they probably should since the youngest on average here is like 27) but I think he’s cool
