Cool came in my 20s.

I got cool.

I feel that.

I think the shift, though, was, I don't know if any of us have talked about this, the shift for me on coolness was that I think I was always, when I was younger, I was always waiting, trying to find the thing that would bring coolness to me.

Like what interest or what clothes or what group of friends would make me cool?

Totally.

And the shift in my 20s, my early 20s, that made me actually feel cool was going, nothing brings me coolness.

I bring coolness to everything else.

There he is.

What I like, the people I hang out with, what I wear, what I listen to, it's cool because I'm there.

I'm not cool because it's here.

If you don't like it, fuck you.

What I like is cool.

And so you're not cool if you don't like it.

And that shift was like really, it was, yeah, not just looking for someone to be like, I wanted people to tell me I was cool.

And then when you just go, oh, I don't care about that.

I think it's also like, what does cool mean?

I would much rather have a genuine time where I'm peeing my pants with people that aren't cool.

Because you guys make me laugh so hard, but you guys are not.

It's not cool.
