    You’re the one arguing it’s uncool to like mainstream stuff. Being popular and mainstream has arguably been a mark of coolness for ages. Liking nerdy stuff was considered uncool specifically because it wasn’t mainstream.

    By defining mainstream stuff as uncool you are 100% trying to make yourself the arbiter of coolness. So, tell me again which goalposts are moving?

      My dude. Coolness is always subjective, every person is the arbiter of their own definition of coolness. If you don’t like mine, it would be very cool of you to stick to your own and not worry about what I think.

      Are you worried I’m not respecting Star Wars fans enough or something?
