Cool-Hunting

Cool-hunting definitely has an impact on my life. I watch mtv pretty often, and it always focuses on the celebrities and what teens want to see. I listen to many different genres of music from rock to rap, and the artists have very different personalities. I also like to get on facebook and read celebrity magazines, which contain alot of gossip. I get involved in these activities because of cool-hunting. I'm a very social person so it is important to me to fit in and be "cool". For example, in one of my favorite shows "America's Next Top Model", the models are very skinny. Therefore, the perception of an American of normal weight is concidered "fat" in our society. Although it seems ridiculous, many teens listen to this-- including me-- because of cool-hunting.
