People who try to be cool, or who love to show off the fact that they're cool aren't really cool, they're just show-offs, and like everywhere show-offs have followers that think they're cool, which is the only thing that sustains their supposed status of coolness. In order to keep the followers impressed, often stupid, crazy, distastefull, agressive or just daring actions are undertaken. And because the followers are in often amazed at or impressed by these actions they will often follow the "cool" show-offs' lead and join in or even surpass the show-off's actions in an attempt to gain respect. It's a crazy social system of dominant people putting themself into a position of power and people who wish to belong to a group in order to "be someone" who follow these dominant people. Often the followers also take comfort in having a "higher power" above them. The supposed "coolness" is nothing more then propaganda which helps to maintain the structure of the system. This system however, actually misplaces the meaning of being cool, because being cool is really only just what it says it is; staying cool. It is a state of being comfortable with the situation, either by being in control, or by not being intimidated by the fact that the situation might be out of ones control, it is a state of "being in your element" and being confident and not easily discouraged.
