Well, a lot of people like me. I'm a cool kid.

9 years ago I was pretty much alone....this used to be my favorite song and I played it over and over no matter where or what I was doing. One night I took a chance and made a friend. He made me happy and feel excited even if I didn't know what for. I was happy for 9 years. But then I seen how cruel the world really is... especially after try tell you they love you. Fucked life from the begining and I'm 33 now. 33 years of fucked up people...places...things. now I wished I was just alone again because to hell this world and mostly everyone in it. Smfh good genuine hearts never last because this really is a cruel place.😢 Fuck you 2023!!

I have a hate and love relationship with this song, it’s catchy but then I didn’t like the song, nowadays I like it but eh. However that’s not why I wrote this, I wrote this because when this song was released I was in 5th grade, depressed and anxious and somehow I hated this song, because the cool kids were happy, everyone around me was happy and had something that defined them, they all had cool experiences I guess. However I was more envious of their happiness, how they could be happy 11 year olds, and I worried about the future, I always was anxious and depressed for no reason, I had friends at school and a friend I met that year that would still be my friend until high school, however deep down when I moved to that elementary I felt like I had no friends no one to turn to, not even my mom or family did I have to listen to me, I had to feel all my emotions, I had to fight and repress my own emotions / demons, at that time I was still a kid not knowing I was depressed, at home I’d isolate myself in my own room, alone with my thoughts and feelings, watching the weather or history channels and the radio at the same time, and I often heard this song being played. I still feel like I have no one, and since COVID hit I lost my friends, though not surprised, because I always felt not much to anyone, though they were all great people, they had better. I also was bullied by some classmates when I moved to that school in 3rd grade, I was always kind to everyone but I guess my friendliness wasn’t welcomed there, that was the start, that threw me off into a path of darkness, I was only bullied that school year but after that I was never the same. Now even still nothing much has changed I’m still depressed and anxious and I often dread on a past wishing I could change it, I know I have to look forward but how can you when you don’t even know yourself, you haven’t known yourself since age 10, some 11 years ago. I just wish someone could hugged that little 10 year old, 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21 year old. Now I feel so detached from everything and everyone, I can’t think about anything or anyone else but myself, people say I’m cynical and selfish but in reality I’m am so lost in my emotions that I’ve become numb to reality. Every time I hear this song I always am reminded of 2012-2015 and that little girl, and every time I remember I just want to cry wishing I could change her reality, hug her and take her on adventures to ease her pain.

I think this song is so relatable to different generations. I grew up in the 90's where my teenage years were in full swing pretty much. I was definitely not one of the most popular and those who were would always snub me and never allow me to hang around with them. It bothered me until one day, I finally realised that I didn't need them to enjoy myself in life. So I stopped needing to fit in with them and I ended up focusing on myself and pursuing my own interests and although it was lonely, it was also extremely validating. It ended up reshaping my identity and my self-worth. I had cultivated my identity based on my personal pursuit of my interests. Ironically when I went to college, people were drawn to me and wanted to be around me because I was so authentic and original and in an even greater case of supreme irony, the same cool kids who once snubbed me now admire me for my accomplishments and my authenticity. To all of you who were snubbed and never accepted by the more popular crowd, you are the real cool kids.

It is ok to not be a "cool kid" young ones. Just do you and your real friends will be there for you. Don't worry about the cool kids.

This song is so therapeutic to me for some reason

I wish that I could be like the cool kids cause all the cool kids they seem the bit I wish I could be like kids Like the cool kid s

We really love that song.

I love cool kids because this is my favorite song that I ever heard for so many years and it's very emotional it's like when you wish to be a cool kid I mean I wish that I can be a cool kid to you know I wanna be a kid you know it's just an a I mean I wish that I can be a cool kid to you know I wanna be a kid you know it's just an a teenager but then I just grown up but I I wanna be always young so please

my night jam in headphones omg

I remember when this song came out when I was a teenager in high school and hang with all my friend we were like a family but we are adults now with responsibility time flies I miss thos days. Wish we all could turn back time fr fr💯🤍

yes this song is amazing

This song is so relatable. I remember listening to it when I was in the car with my mom and relating to it. I often felt jealous of the popular kids even in elementary school. I've always been a social misfit. I don't fit in with the mold. Now I'm proud of being different and I've learned to embrace my unique self and personality. But sometimes I still want to be popular. But for the most part I like this part of me. I love who I am.

i remember listening to this when i was younger , i was really happy at the time. i miss it

Listening to this for the first time in a while, such an underrated band.

autistic kids plz stand up for our national anthem

lol such bop

I woke up with this song in my head, for some reason. It was released a good decade ago, when I was going through a lot of drama, and at a major life juncture. A generation or two ahead of mine, but I liked it. I used to hear it someplace I no longer go...

I just heard my mother listening to a clip of this. Never heard it before, this song is amazing!

I love your song and you too❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I think I was in 3rd grade when this was released

The story of my life lol

Love this <3

I wish that I could be like the cool kids.

I wish that I could be like the cookies. 🍪 🍪

I'm not cool enough

I related so much to this song when I was a little girl

When I was a teenager in high school this was like IV to my veins… I related so much it’s uncanny. Now everytime I hear it I remember my life as a teenager and wish I was a that again. Time really does go by fast when you’re having fun.

Everybody gangsta till this song was heard while there’s an active shooter lurking at the empty school hallways Edit 1 : this song is so good

Idc this still slaps I love it love love love

The prequel to pumped up kicks

I grew up hating this song and then I realized how good of a song it was

I don't relate with this song in any way, it's just a good song. Like Foster the People.

I remember when I was young, I listened to this song All the time wishing I could be popular and be a big kid. Now I’m a big kid, not popular but it’s ok lol, and all I can think abt while listening to this song is “I wish I could be little again” time flies fast man.

AT latest. Rok Song. GGbie
