Back in the day, being cool was an art form, a delicate balance of fashion, attitude, and a sprinkle of rebellion. Picture this: oversized jeans that could double as parachutes, and T-shirts with slogans so witty they could make a dad joke blush. If you didn’t have a pair of neon-colored sneakers, were you even trying? And let’s not forget the hair! The higher the hair, the closer to coolness. We’re talking about hairstyles that required a can of hairspray and a prayer. If you didn’t look like you just survived a wind tunnel, you were doing it wrong.
Then there were the hangouts—arcades, where the only currency was your ability to master Pac-Man and impress your friends with your high score. If you could pull off a perfect “insert coin” move, you were practically royalty. But the ultimate test of coolness? The mixtape. Crafting the perfect playlist on a cassette was like composing a symphony. If you handed someone a mixtape, you were basically declaring your undying love. So here’s to the days when being cool meant wearing your best flannel, blasting your favorite tunes, and hoping your crush noticed you from across the room—preferably while you were trying to look nonchalant!
