I saw a TikTok last night with a description of ‘Inherited Cool.’ The young woman was describing the lack of pop culture knowledge she has because she was raised by immigrant parents. It made me think that generational wealth + Generational Cool is a real thing. You listen to the best rock bands America has to offer. You dress liberational- a new word I made up. But behind all that is the inheritance and privilege that your ancestors had in this country. Not only being able to pass down their wealth, but also their gestures and teachings on how to be cool in America. I also saw a comment on the video that said inherited cool is white supremacy.
