Kids are never really cool. They're attempts at being cool from 8-17 are pathetic. Amongst their peers, they are cool. But kids try way too hard to be cool to actually be objectively "cool".

Whereas adults who are cool are universally cool. Recognized by everyone from 8 to 80 as cool. Objectively cool.
