I guess the flip side of this is that you look like a fucking dork.

I think that will fade. I don't know if you remember how mocked the airpods were when they first came out ("They look like q-tips"). All it'll take is a few celebrities spotted using one and they'll turn cool in no time.

Airpods aren’t cool though, the majority don’t wear them nor can they afford them.

You appear to be a bit unclear on what cool means.

Are you sure you’re not conflating cool with elitism?

Zillions of people are out there wearing cheap AirPod knockoffs too.

I don't think any ear buds are "cool", but certainly nobody cares, it's perfectly normal.
