Exclusionary Coolness

Klosterman's idea of ''exclusionary cool'' means something that only a few people can possess, if other people possess it too, well than it isn't cool now is it? Klosterman says that people are always trying to find that one thing that nobody else has just so they can be cool, that is exactly what everyone tries to do today.


Today in society, people buy many products just so they can show society they are cool and that you cannot get this but I can. So all of a sudden the other people try to get the same product. Then soon when evrybody has it, it no longer stays cool and by that time a newer product comes out and people pursue to get that product.


At Churchill I see many groups standing around in the hallways who all seem to look alike. Have the same type of clothing on, like they think they are cooler than the other groups. It's like a battle going on between groups to show who can be cooler than who, or who can get the cooler product first.
