    Just to add some women to the mix, although I agree with lots of the aforementioned esp people like Tom Waits. Jeff Bridges if he has not been mentioned..It is funny though how we think first of men when it comes to cool.
    Chrissie Hynes.
    Nina Simone.
    Ruthie Foster.
    Alison Moyet.
    Tilda Swinton.
    Judi Dench.
    Helen Mirren.
    Joanna Lumley.
    Maria Doyle Kennedy is a person I have long thought of as cool
    Aayan Hirsi Ali.
    Camilla Paglia.
    Loads more.

    Had the pleasure of meeting Leonard Cohen once. A gentleman to his fingertips. He had played a legendary gig in Kilmainham Castle a few years previously and we discussed how the gig had received cult status. He had just come off a long haul flight and was impeccably dressed in a 3 piece suit. That's even before his song writing is considered..

    The Fonz. No, I'm not a slavish fan of "Happy Days" (will go straight over 95% of most boardsies' heads):

    Fonzie

    Take this scene from "Pulp Fiction" with Samuel L Jackson: (if you declare yourself a film buff and still have'nt watched this movie, then you're nont a film buff)

    Oh, and Samuel L Jackson too is the huma emboidemnt of cool.

    Thanks to Pulp fiction he is the coolest man on the planet. The thing is when hes in a weak film he still gets a pass due to how cool he was in
    Pulp fiction

    You are not cool if you are famous just for being on social media, instagram,or making a sex video
    etc
    You are cool if you make interesting creative work whether its art,music ,video, writing ,making games .
    trolling,insulting random people on facebook ,etc is not cool,
    being on facebook is not cool.
    Bowie was cool because he was constantly changing ,making new music,
    it was not always good but it was different from most other singers.
    i dont follow anyone on tik tok,
    but there are people who are really creative and funny there ,
    and there are people on there who are amazing dancers or comedians .
    TIK TOK is very popular because it provides video and audio tools that can be used by anyone to make amazing videos that are entertaining .
    I Think lady gaga is cool because she is talented and she keeps making
    new music ,
    she is original ,she is not trying to copy anyone else or just follow the latest trend .a talented singer or writer will create works that still
    will be listened too in 10 or 20 years .
    how many singers have 1 or 2 hit songs and then just disappear .
    i don,t see taylor swift or beyonce making ads for apple or coke
    because they are not sell outs .

    Lady gaga, definition of a try hard.

    There needs to be an effortless nonchalance to it.

    Fela Kuti, multi-instrumentalist, musician, composer, pioneer of the Afrobeat music genre and human rights activist.

    just one quick story about him

    In 1978, he married 27 women, many of whom were his dancers, composers, and singers, this was to protect Fela and his wives from false claims from authorities that Fela was kidnapping the women
