Yet, because I watched this new batch of episodes over a matter of days — and the final four episodes over one very uncool Friday night — I realized there's a weird sexist theme taking over the town of Hawkins, Indiana, where our heroes reside: men tend to think of parenting as a Woman's Thing, while women do not at all.
|

After becoming the controlling owner of a now seriously uncool legacy label, he hopes to cash in on the label being sold to German conglomerate Polygram, which is dependent on he and his partners (Ray Romano as Zak Yankovich, a consistent series highpoint, and Max Casella as Julie Silver) all hiding financial irregularities and signing Led Zeppelin.

Ultimately, I showed up to my first shoot in a friend's Hood By Air sweatshirt and my own torn jeans, feeling terminally uncool, especially since I would be in the presence of other trans and non-binary artists and models I've admired from a distance — influential creative people like Devan Díaz, Nar Rokh, Pierce Hughes, and Merlot.

Rivette purposely reminds us that this is a fiction, and that his actors are actors delivering "lines," often permitting them to utter overly-long monologues in the kind of flat monotone of voice that we might associate with the New York School poets of the 1960s and 70s, when it seemed "uncool" to show too much emotion.

Vaporwave transformed some of the most uncool music imaginable into something dizzying, hypnotic, and exciting, while simultaneously defying almost all of the previous trappings of the music industry, driven entirely by an online network of artists who remained largely anonymous and often gave their music away for free (in addition to freely sampling others' work without a second thought to copyright laws).
|
|
I have only a glancing acquaintance with Alanis's original album (I was slightly too young and way too uncool to listen to Jagged Little Pill very much in the '90s), but the music is so undeniable, and the young cast so strong, that it was easy for me to let myself get swept away by everything that was happening onstage.

And grunge was cremated, its ashes flushed down the Pike Place Market Starbucks toilet, that same year when the Styles section of this newspaper allowed itself to be hoaxed by a former Sub Pop records employee on its "Lexicon of Grunge," serving up bogus mosh-pit lingo like "big bag of blotation" (drunk), "lamestain" (uncool person) and "swingin' on the flippity flop" (hanging out). Oops!

I'm convinced televised golf is just a government ruse to keep dads quiet and docile—cheaper and less dangerous than lacing their water supplies with bromide, and if you hit a dad with a golf tournament and then an F1 qualifier on the same day, he will basically be quiet and pliant for up to and including a week—and so by extension it is exceptionally uncool.

Yachty, himself What's great about what Lil Yachty is doing here is that he doesn't care that it's a Bar Mitzvah (thus potentially "uncool") or that he's performing for kids, because these are his people and he wants to show them a good time.

With wave after wave of restrictive laws prohibiting the sale of e-cigarettes, flavored or otherwise, this over-the-counter oral spray is poised to usurp vaping's throne should the FDA end up approving it—though it's also poised to become just as uncool and ineffective as nicotine gum and patches, which don't even do the intended thing they're supposed to do and help people quit smoking in the long term.

Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads PHILADELPHIA — Of all the astonishing things Roberto Lugo has done in his career — from creating a DIY potter's wheel and mixing his own clay from dirt in an urban scrapyard, to creating a new genre of hip-hop-inflected political porcelain — the most radical might be that he is head over heels in love with something rather uncool in the contemporary art world: skill.

Ah yes, well, the problem here is your uncle thinks, sadly—this is the "hip and with it" uncle, just grazing the edges of his forties, beer belly not quite kicked in enough for him to go up a jeans size yet, resisting the need to wear glasses but very much needs to wear glasses, his daughters keep him young but he's reined in the haircut a little bit, he has a cool car but never drives it over 40; but sadly he is actually an "audible sense of prostate disease about him" uncle, and so is necessarily uncool.

I feel like rugby has actually pushed through being uncool to make itself sort of post-cool, like, it is definitely not cool—watch rugby in this country, and it's just a load of wide posh lads saying "Twickers!" and emptying lager over their heads—but then the fact that rugby is almost unashamed in the naffness of its fan base kind of makes it cool in that uncaring way, a sort of malaise that appeals to people such as I. So actually I am going to go out on a limb here and say rugby: actually alright.

Here is a list of latent worries I constantly, constantly have, humming away like an old fridge, the worries, a panicked sound that is there so long you almost ignore it—almost—until in the dead hours of the night it wakes you and won't let you rest with its clanging: — That one day a small dog will use its incredible leg strength and vertical leap to jump, gracefully, perfect spiral, and bite me directly on the dick and/or balls; — That my wisdom teeth, which never truly have emerged, are doing something incredibly uncool down there in the depths, that maybe my wisdom teeth are growing sideways through my jaw, or something, burrowing through the bone, and that eventually I will have to go full "Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 4" about it; — That squinting at Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram again, Twitter, Facebook once more, then Twitter for half an hour before I do anything every morning will eventually make me totally and utterly blind; Anyway, bad news for me, then, because a recent medical journal report has found that looking at your iPhone in bed can make you temporarily blind.
