Cool vs. Rad

Since the inception of radical as a term used in regard to cultural awareness, there has been confusion as to the difference between what is deemed "cool" and that which is considered to be "rad".

This topic is likely to surface throughout the publication of this web log [blog], but for now I will attempt to display some of the differences.

Cool: American Apparel clothing.

Rad: Any long sleeved shirt with handmade thumb holes.

Cool: The Beatles.

Rad: The Rolling Stones.

Cool: New jeans.

Rad: The hole in the knee of your brand new jeans.

Cool: Japanese furniture.

Rad: Japanese killer robots (i.e. Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed, any Macross series).

Cool: AMC's Breaking Bad.

Rad: Crystal meth.
