“Cool is spent. Cool is empty. Cool is ex post facto. When advertisers and pundits hoard a word, you know it's time to retire from it. To move on.

Cool makes you functional, eager for routine distraction, passive, doped, stupid.” KnowsWorldWayWantLooksMadeCountryBodyMovingStepsStupidEmptyThirdsTricksPostsTriumphRoutineDistractionRetiringPassiveExesGarmentsThird WorldLaborersAdvertisersPunditsThird World CountriesSweatshops Author:Rick Moody
