There is no longer such this as being 'cool', the boundaries between high and low culture are no longer fixed and therefore it isn't possible to be 'cool' or to have 'bad fashion sense'. Before the genres in music were pretty basic e.g. Rock, Pop, Jazz etc. Now there are hundreds of mini-genres within each genre e.g. Indie rock, synth pop and so on. Nowadays styles and 'trends' are mutating all the time, so fast that there is no 'dominance' and therefore nothing is 'cool' or 'uncool' the diversity of the world has become accepted. Since globalisation and the invention of the internet, the world is able to access anything from almost anywhere, for example 'fashion trends' that you may only associate with particular countries and their habitants no longer exist due to the internet, Americans dress like the English and vice versa. We can access and communicate with different cultures by the click of a button, this has broken the boundaries of what we believe is 'significant' and what defines each individual.


The internet has played a huge part in the diversity of each individual, YouTube and iTunes have opened up a worldwide database that people can access and be introduced to 'new' music without any actual knowledge of music necessary. Its now possible to be interested in all genres of music as the 'categories' are now merging and becoming more and more difficult to decipher between all the sub-genres e.g. synth pop/ indie pop.
