STORY OF COOL - PAGE 2

Story of Cool small logo

Story of Cool takes a look back at what Americans have considered "cool" throughout the decades and examines the people, places, and things that define this ubiquitous, amorphous word. Each episode explores a new element of "cool" - the rise of prominent leaders, product advertisements, and how the battle for "cool" has the power to create rivalries and elevate cultural icons that shape the world.
