Answer 1

ALmost every 'cool' thing came from poor people who were just trying to improvise. Think about it, how many 'cool' fashion statments have come from the hood? How many 'cool' foods came from poor people trying to reinvent stuff? Poor people are the only cool people out there (for the most part). People just take what poor people do and turn it into cash cows.

Answer 2

I think the kind of people who would snub or dis someone because they can't afford to have cool attire and accessories are too superficial to care about.

I know that nobody likes to be rejected, even for reasons that make the rejector look worse than the person being rejected, but I think that any sense of "koolness" that someone has, has to be founded in being comfortable inside their own skin, rather than in what they dress themselves with. I've known some awesome people whose character shined through them and lit up the world around them, no matter what they wore. And I think that this is ultimate cool-- to be so relaxed and satisfied with who you are that nobody can take you down because of what you wear, what you carry, what you drive, or where you live.

It's true that there will always be people from the shallow, pond-scum end of the gene pool who will sneer at and disrespect people who are lacking in the material aspects of coolness, but these are very superficial people and they tend to be so stuck on themselves that they're tiresome to be around for very long. Whereas truly cool people you never get tired of; they have depth of character, and you never get to the end of them.

I think that that indicates very clearly that you can be cool and poor.

Answer 3

There are few rewards for being poor! I know because I grew up poor!
If a person can realize that to just be who they are the glammer and gloss of nice clothes and things, phones, ipods, etc., are just ornaments. Usually, a person is valued for how hard they work, and the values they exhibit through daily living. Honesty, integrity, sense of humer. I don't mean to be a pushover either, take up for yourself when your abused, but walk away from antagonistic antisocial behavior. The difference in the two? Sometimes, it's hard to tell. Pointed laughter and sly looks is antagonistic. When somebody gets in your face and insults you or lays a hand on you it is abuse.
