anything being fun and happy is just so uncool

I noticed this when I was an undergraduate in college. Somewhere in the middle of my sophomore year, I heard Complaints about the System / Teachers / Cafeteria Food coming out of my mouth, even when I did NOT really believe what I was saying aloud,* simply because it was The Thing To Do. After that, I started to people-watch around the phenomenon. And I realized: that unless you put a storm-cloud around every silver lining, you'd be read as naive. So people get into the habit of announcing every flawed thing in everything they saw.

And you know what I decided?

Being uncool was the coolest thing of all.

*Cafeteria Food, for example. Sure, some of the regular dishes were insipid, pallid, fare. But the cooks had an excellent recipe for pork chops with rosemary, there was always fresh fruit in the salad bar, and the chocolate layer cake was sure to make a bad day better.
