The article discusses the concept of "cool" and how it can be perceived differently by individuals. The author, Elle Hunt, reflects on their own lack of coolness, admitting to wearing Uniqlo clothing and being nervous during an interview with fashion consultant Corinne Delaney.
Delaney, 32, is described as self-possessed and has a keen eye for spotting original talent. She works at EYC (Everybody's Creative), where she finds and markets emerging artists and musicians, including rappers Doechii and Fakemink. Delaney believes that being cool is about being authentic and having a unique vision.
The article also features an interview with Professor Joel Dinerstein, who has spent his career studying the concept of cool. He notes that being cool is not something that can be planned or achieved, but rather it emerges from an individual's artistic vision or personal experiences.
Dinerstein's verdict on Hunt's coolness is tentative, stating that he doesn't know enough about them to say for sure whether they are cool. However, his assessment is positive, suggesting that Hunt "could be" cool.
The article concludes by highlighting the challenges of defining and measuring coolness in today's digital age, where information is readily available but often superficial.

. I mean, is it really that hard to figure out? Elle Hunt's Uniqlo vibes are definitely on point, and she's got some great taste in music - I've been vibing with Doechii's latest tracks for weeks! 
But, at the same time, Corinne Delaney seems pretty full of herself, you know? And Professor Dinerstein's whole "being cool is a gut feeling" thing sounds like just another way to avoid actually having an opinion 
. What's up with that? Anyway, I do think it's weird how quickly we try to slap a label on something as abstract and subjective as coolness. Like, can't we just enjoy the music or the art without having to call ourselves "cool" first? 
One minute you're rocking some sick Uniqlo fit and the next you're sweating bullets during an interview because Corinne Delaney is looking at you all like "is this who I think it is?". And don't even get me started on how hard it is to define what's cool, when everyone's just curating their online persona. It feels like we're more concerned with likes and followers than actually being ourselves. The idea that you gotta have some deep artistic vision or personal experience to be cool just seems so...exclusive. I mean, what about all the people who are genuinely passionate about something but don't fit into the mainstream mold? It's like, can't we just be cool because of how hard we're working on our passions? 
. And don't even get me started on how it affects people of color or women in the arts. Is being 'cool' just another way to silence your unique voice and conform to the status quo? I'm not convinced, you know?
. I mean, who needs designer labels when you're comfy and happy? I've spent years working in traditional 9-to-5 jobs, and when I transitioned into online content creation, people thought it was weird that a retiree would be sharing wisdom on the web 
, I say she's got coolness in spades!
. i mean, corinne delaney says it's about being authentic and having a unique vision, but isn't that just code for "be yourself and maybe you'll be cool"? 
I think we need to redefine what it means to be cool in this digital age. It's not just about how many followers you have or what your latest outfit is. It's about being true to yourself and sharing that with others. So, Elle Hunt, don't worry if you're not "cool" yet - just keep on being you!
