Lots of people who went thru school as one of the not cool people, spend much of their adult lives trying to become the cool kid they always wanted to be in school, and they go but and buy anything they can that may make people think they are cool, instead of taking a look at what makes some people cool and some people not cool.
Motorcycles and Cars: Many people who are looking to be cool will buy a motorcycle, maybe a Harley Davidson, a big sports bike or a sports car. This is because they feel that a fast car or motorcycle will make people look at them in a positive way, but in reality most people think less of these people.
Clothes, many people like to spend lots of money on the latest fashions to help them improve their image, thinking that people will find them interesting because they know what the hot new things to wear are.
Music, many people will listen to MTV to listen t the new big hits, again thinking that by knowing what is new and popular will make you appear cool to others.
Casino gambling and Poker: due to the popularity of poker on TV many people have not only taken up playing poker, but they think it is cool to not only dress like the famous poker players, but they have to wear patches for different sponsors like the professional poker players do. Just remember that playing poker, blackjack or roulette may make you seem cool, but games like keno, pachinko or bingo will definitely make you seem like a dork, unless you win millions of dollars.
Jewelry, also known as Bling is often used as a status symbol and the general rule has become the bigger, more expensive and uglier the jewelry is the cooler the wearer has to be. This has led to some people going out wearing thousands of dollars r the ugliest looking pieces.
Personal Appearance, many feel that how they look determines how cool they are. These people will spend hours a day working out and are always dieting to try and keep themselves in the best possible physical shape to try to make them cool.
In reality cool is not about what you listen to, wear, ride or play. It is about who you are as a person. Usually if you talk to someone who is considered cool, they are not trying to be cool; they just do things that appeal to you, and the more you try to show these people how cool you are the less likely they are to find you cool or to want to be around you.
Being cool is not about what you like but about whom you are, if you just be you and do the things that you enjoy because you enjoy them then other people who enjoy those same things will tend to find you cool.
So the only advice I can give to you about being cool is just do what makes you happy and associate with like minded people.
