If you have to ask, you're not cool
On the opposite side of that though, if you think you don't need to ask, you're also not cool.
Coolness isn't subjective, it is injective. It's like playing The Game. If you feel the desire or need to be seen as cool, or if you think coolness is something that an outside party can determine, whether you think you are or not, you are automatically not.
It's like humility, in that you can't go bragging to other people about how you have it. You simply ARE. Not for gain, not to appease, but because your actions you take and choices you make are governed by what you feel is right.
"Cool" is the unshakable certainty of yourself as a person, even if not the things you do or the things you believe in, but that ultimately, whatever path in life you take will be pursued because it is the best choice
I've been cool on occasion, and occasionally not cool, in fact, while making this post, I swung in and out of coolness no less than 3 times, possibly 4.
Hope that helps.
oh, and yes, I made up the word injective, if you prefer, you can go with introspective.

If you do a lot of drugs you are cooler. And if you smoke cigarettes.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
Did Fonzie ever say "Ehhh Richie, am i cool or what?"?
"The accumulated filth of all their sex and murders will foam up about their waist and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"...
....and I'll look down and whisper "no."

Sadly, while I think your analysis is spot on, I feel it will completely fail to hit its target audience.
Which is cool in and of itself.
