Public Opinion Denies America's Coolness [INFOGRAPHIC]

SodaHead Infographics 2011/09/08 23:00:00
It's a sad day for classic American cool.

Earlier this week we asked SodaHeads if they agreed with a study claiming Americans are widely considered the "coolest" people in the world, and the answer is a resounding no.

"Cool" can mean a lot of things, and each voter's definition was probably a little bit different. We don't feel it's necessary to define the word because, after all, this site is about your opinions. But it's important to keep in mind just how subjective the word is.

With that said, SodaHeads definitely made their voices heard, and while the majority held America's cool factor in serious doubt, we discovered who is reveling in the country's nuanced panache.

Let's dive.

    Where I live is called "The City of Good Neighbors", but I really don't see it. When I visited Florida everyone was so polite and friendly. Nothing like New York.

    I think as far as the 'attitudes' of people in the states, most people here are chill.. and cool enough.

    as far as culture, style, etc goes.. we're a bunch of retarded gangsta' hillbillies..

    You know 50% of those NO ANSWERS were from Americans who are just trying to be humble, right?









    Im American and I voted no anyway, only to be more modest.











    Truth be known, 99% of Americans know we're the sh!t. We're just too polite to say it.









    There. Said. :)

    I have no doubt that many Americans are cool, but they aren´t the coolest people in the world. Also, it´s a sign of a really huge ego that Americans assume that they are the coolest, and arrogance isn´t cool at all.

    I think people get off telling Americans they're not cool, all the while enjoying our media and websites.

    I doubt that. Americans learn at school that they are the most democratic and best country in the world. There´s a very strong patriotism in the US.

    I do love how you're telling me what I learned in school though. That's a bit, shall we say, arrogant.

    I´m sorry but I´m reading books and I´ve talked to many Americans and many do agree.

    Ah, you're "reading books", ha.

    My mistake, you must be much more fluent in what I learned than I am.

    We have strong patriotism, but not so strong that you could get us to turn in our neighbor to the Gestapo.

    Voting a country not cool does not mean they hate us, it means they think we are uncool.

    Just because they don't think Americans are the "coolest in the world" doesn't mean they're haters.

    It´s not about hate and no one denied Americas coolness. Voters just denied that Americans are the coolest people in the world. It´s rather arrogant to assume that.

    Who started this ridiculous fad? Must have been the same type of dummy that would wear them while stealing a car and running from the cops.

    Gangstas in prison. Belts taken away, pants dropped. It was really a humiliation thing.

    Wannabes decided to imitate. Since, obviously, being in prison means you're badass.

    At least, that's the only explanation I've run across that makes any sense.

    Who cares if we are cool? Are we wise? That is what we should aspire to.
    Forget cool, that's teenage stuff.
    Man, sometimes I am convinced this country is filled with idiots.
    What a question!
