Is modern Black American culture/aesthetics "cool" in your opinion?

[NSXD60]

If you consider reverting to type as cool, be my guest, but keep in mind you're drooling over instinct, much as a cat hisses when angry and purrs when happy, based on feeling, the brain not wired for any sort of mental analysis, such behaviors continue from the dawn of time. In fact this word "cool" can turn to dangerously cruel as when a cat playfully paws at a baby's eye unaware that blindness could ensue. Both the cool cat and the pet cat act without thinking, save that the former is aware of consequences, the latter not.

I think 'cool' is subjective and I think anyone who cares about being 'cool' past highschool is immature at best and moronic at worse.

Our supposed soft power is the one consolation of being black

Most of black culture is based around a matriarchy of welfare queens raising simp dysfunctional generations. It is the first government approved and funded dysgenics program.

Well, objectively speaking, the stuff that is usually dubbed cool is the lifestyle of young people in very large cities. Whites got pushed out of large cities in the US, and what remains is rather 'negrophile'. Obviously, the culture of some miserable copycat suburb cannot be cool. Blacks are now considered the quintessential urban population in the US. This is exacerbated by the fact that the Democrats are using everything to promote them. E.g., look at the propaganda everywhere in NYC:


So unfortunately, young Americans will probably inevitably regard black culture as cool, at least as far as the non-internet young people go. One way to combat that is through the internet, which can be seen as a kind of alternative non-physical megapolis. Black culture is not really cool on the US internet, and people make fun of blacks. This is perhaps the least bad situation, since blacks are a stand-in for annoying consumerist shallow normie culture - but then the situation is still "cope", to a degree.

However, internationally, I don't think US blacks are regarded as especially cool. US rappers are generally ignored in favour of easily established local equivalents, although it bears mentioning that they are usually also non-whites and they imitate aspects of black culture. I'd say that overall, hipsters with indie music are still considered cool, while blacks are seen as a forced meme and mostly ignored (google trends over last 5 years).

Overall, it is a problem for the US, but much less so around the rest of the white world. I think some Americans are a bit shocked to see how irrelevant those black celebs are elsewhere (while the white celebs are still prominent).

Ok, but I can only speak for myself, at age 43, currently, the last thing I think about is "what is 'cool'?" Or "How can I be more 'cool'?"

The closest thing I can think of that concerns me is the concept of being sophisticated -- I think that exerts some pull on me.

The chief result gained by experience of life is clearness of view. This is what distinguishes the man of mature age, and makes the world wear such a different aspect from that which it presented in his youth or boyhood. It is only then that he sees things quite plain, and takes them for that which they really are: while in earlier years he saw a phantom-world, put together out of the whims and crotchets of his own mind, inherited prejudice and strange delusion: the real world was hidden from him, or the vision of it distorted. The first thing that experience finds to do is to free us from the phantoms of the brain—those false notions that have been put into us in youth.


...

When a man reaches the age of forty, he is under the rule of the four Asteroids; that is to say, his life has gained something in extension. He is frugal; in other words, by the help of Ceres, he favors what is useful; he has his own hearth, by the influence of Vesta; Pallas has taught him that which is necessary for him to know; and his wife—his Juno—rules as the mistress of his house (if not divorced)." --Arthur Schopenhauer
