Let’s redefining what gaul is.

Cool :

-Listening to somewhat weird-never heard ‘em indie/metal bands,

-Jazz (you don’t have to know the roots, listening to Tompi and Afgan are enough),

-List of your favourite movies would be = Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, Trainspotting, I Am Sam, Lost in Translation, Virgin Suicides, 24 Hours Party People, Wicker Park, all movies by Stanley Kubrick, some French movies, classic movies.

-Pretending to be nerd (thick rimmed oversized glasses is a MUST),

-Artsy (oh my God, it’s Warhol!)

-Wearing oh so retro-vintage-postmodern-harajuku-you name it clothes (don’t forget to buy those expensive *alternative* fashions at your nearest distro ™, it’s so D.I.Y),

-Don’t forget the skinny jeans (baggy trousers are so 2001),

-Oh and the keffiyeh (it means you’re a pro-palestinian, errr am I right?),

-Graphic design (basic photoshop/coreldraw skill is a MUST),

-Myspace or Facebook (Friendster is so last year),

-Lomography or digital SLR photography,

-Aksara – not Gramedia,

-Laptop (MacBook recommended) + Coffee shop/Mall with a wi-fi connection (warnet and Telkomnet instan are so last year),

-Low rider (motor ceper with knalpot blombongan are so barbaric).

Uncool :

-Emo (all emos are turned into metalheads),

-Dewa 19 and other top 40 bands (including Kangen Band and Radja),

-Sinetron,

-Cheesy Indonesian horror movies,

-Baggy trousers,

-Bleached hair,

-Spikey/fauxhawk hairdo.

….the bottom line to be uncool is to follow all the values that offered by mainstream medias such as tabloid gaul, keren beken, and aneka yess.
