Is the word cool, still cool?

Question

when did it reach it's peak in coolness? I'm thinking the 90's? though it's still my most used adjective

Answer 1

I still use the word.

Answer 2

I think cool has reached a new level in our vocabulary... It used to be that cool was more descriptive like... Narley (sp?) or radical? now it seems to be more like a regular word in the lines of neat and awesome.... Cool has seeped into every thing that we say and do as a regular word, so I guess it isn't "cool" to use Cool... it isn't the cutting edge....

Answer 3

I never use the word to sound cool anymore. It's become so ingrained into my vocabulary that I use it as a generic word for something that is great/amazing/etc.

Answer 4

It's lost its sense of meaning, it's over used.

Answer 5

I still use it.
