Two things:

Even the “cool kids” are staying inside and using their phones all day. Cool used to mean you were at the party, now it just means you have a high snapchat score.

Other thing is genuine fear of accidental fentanyl consumption. They’re making fake Xans with fentanyl in them, fentanyl is being found in coke powder. Plenty of people aren’t taking the risk with street drugs anymore. Jelly Roll said so in an interview, he’s a big recreational drug user but doesn’t trust the supply anymore. Good job dealers!

There just isn’t just one type of “cool” anymore. Media is extremely targeted and everyone interacts within their own bubbles to the point where they don’t know about the other bubbles. There are artists with 1B+ streams that I haven’t heard of, because none of the algorithms ever recommended it to me.

Same applies to “cool”ness, as there aren’t a handful of tastemakers that decide on “what’s more or less cool for a given environment”.
