Topic: a definition of cool that I like (ssc) Return to archive

"The pyschological essence of cool is self-invention, coupled with a hyper-acute awarness of such self-invention in other people. It amounts to the creation of a calm psychic mask to hide inner disturbance."



When I first read this I thought it was geat. But would it apply to the coolest of the cool, one K. Richards?

At first I thought it wouldn't because to say keith was hiding something didn't sit well. But then I thought, well everyone has inner disturbance, and Keith has mentioned his own 'demons'. So if the man himself even discusses his inner struggels in interviews, then this might make the definition even truer.
