CHAPTER

Evolution of Coolness, Hipsters, and Hedonism in Society

The chapter explores the evolution of cool Britannia, from Loaded magazine to the dark side of comedy in the late 90s, then shifts to German minimal techno in the 21st century. It discusses the concept of coolness in a Berlin dance scene and questions its relevance in today's digitized culture. The conversation covers the impact of social media on perceptions of coolness, anxiety in youth culture, and the changing aspirations of individuals influenced by factors like the financial crisis of 2008 and societal behaviors under late neoliberalism.
