Lets ignore that "cool" is not really well defined for a moment. > Anything creative will never be seen as cool outside of the niche it lives in. In my experience the exact opposite is true. The cool kids back in my school were the ones who were into music and art. It was mainly the lifestyle surrounding the "creative, don't care" type. Even now that is still the case in my culture. People whose main profession is writing/painting/producing music are "cool". But maybe that is different in your culture.
