There are certain things in life that never go out of style and will always be cool.
I’m talking about James Dean, ’65 Mustangs, and stuff that will always be hip.
Do you want to hear some more examples?
Let’s see what folks on AskReddit had to say about this.
1. I agree.
“Finding money.
On the ground, in a pair of pants.
Doesn’t matter. Finding money is always cool.”
2. All ages.
“For me it’d be LEGO.
It sparks a joy in most/all people, no matter the age.”
3. Better with age.
“Bob Ross and Mister Rogers get cooler with age.
Both MUCH cooler now than when I was a kid.
They are never going to hit maximum coolness.
They’ll just keep expanding.”
4. Be gentle about it.
“A gentle but witty comeback.”
5. The good stuff.
“A cold beer after a long day of work.
Pizza and beer after helping someone move.
Makes an average beer, average pizza, taste Godly.”
6. Lookin’ sharp.
“Leather jackets.
I wouldn’t mind having one if I could pull it off.”
7. A classic look.
“Jeans, a white t-shirt and some black boots.”
8. Darn right!
“Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Dolly Parton.”
9. American icon.
“Converse will be cool until the end of time.
This is the hill I will die on.”
10. Skate or die!
“Skateboarding.
It’s still absolutely awesome to watch and super fun to practice.”
11. Pretty awesome.
“Electric guitar.
The Les Paul is like 60 years old and still cool.”
12. Nice and wholesome.
“Being the guy out of the group that waits for you when you have to stop and tie your shoe.
I LOVE that guy!”
13. Kindness.
“Being the type of person who is kind without trying to get recognized for it.
My whole family tries to be this way. As a kid, there were always strange people by the house……I asked my parents when I got a little older why they had a bunch of whacky friends.
They were nice to everyone unless you gave them a reason not to be. That lead to all the strangers and outcasts that were always dumped on by *ssholes feeling like they had a home and a friend.
I try to live by the same code because “normal” is nothing more than a setting on the dryer.”
14. That’s right.
“Sticking up for people in need.
I went to school with a mentally challenged girl from preschool through high school. She always said hi to me and I would ask her how she was, almost every single day.
One day in middle school she started walking across the street without looking and got hit by a car. She wasn’t badly injured, just a few scrapes and bruises. Well a couple weeks after that she was trying to cross the street to get to school but the traffic was bad and she was scared to try to cross.
I had just parked my car and started walking to the school. I heard her yell my name from across the street and start waving. I yelled back and asked if she was ok. She asked if I would help her cross the street. I didn’t think anything of it and just kinda started walking across the street and stopped traffic.
I got to the side she was on and took her hand and I helped her across the street. She said thank you many times and we went about our day. I never thought it was a big deal but it must have been to her because throughout the rest of our school years she would randomly tell me thank you for helping her across the street.”
15. The best.
“Tony Hawk.
I’m not even into skateboarding and I think he’s cool.”
16. All true.
“Prince.
Nirvana.
David Bowie.
Johnny Cash.”
17. Stylin’.
“Ray Ban Wayfarers have been cool and stylish since they came out in the 1950s.”
18. That’s a good movie.
“Aliens (1986)
Starring Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Bill Paxton, Paul Reiser.
Directed by James Cameron.”
19. Still going strong.
“Pokemon.
Some people may have stopped openly admitting it was cool, but it never stopped.”
20. Guitar God.
“Jimi Hendrix is timelessly cool in my opinion, even 60 years after he started making music.”
21. Rockin’ out.
“Female musicians are underrated as a whole, even ones who front their bands.
And yeah drummers are great. So much love for the lady with the sticks!”
22. Science is cool.
“Bill Nye the Science Guy.
Whether it’s the theme we all jam out to when in class (or anywhere), or the current Tik Tok he has where some cool science experiments and explanations have been given!
He’s been cool with sharing science to everyone!”
23. Legends.
“Bob Ross and Steve Irwin of course.
Legends never die!”
24. Wholesome.
“Guys being good to women (and people in general) and doing good things for them without expecting anything in return.”
25. Flying down the highway.
“Motorcycles.
They were cool 50 years ago and are cool today.
Vintage cars too.”
26. A classic look.
“Maybe this one depends on where you live but Chuck Taylors/Converse.
Even if they are “uncool” at times they are recognizable. kids have them, weight lifters, skater hippies. It kind of sparks interests in many groups.
I did a marketing project based around a few companies and Converse has been able to keep its brand to still, to this day be a staple.”
27. Still cool.
“Playing video games.
Even as you get older somethings might not seem as cool but usually video games (new or old) will never stop being cool.”
28. Now, that is cool.
“Actual respect for other people when they have different views from yourself on something.”
29. All good stuff.
“Giving your friends a case of beer for helping you do stuff around the house. Paying full price and more to family members/friends that are giving you a hook up, because you want to support their success.
Listening to someone when they need an open ear. Being a humble guest and a gracious host. Staying level headed when you disagree. That one friend that you can talk to after 6 months of radio silence and pick up right where you left off.
Being understanding when people have different struggles, and doing your best to empathize. Idk… Just being cool.”
How about you?
What do you think has never stopped being cool?
