The herd aspect of cultural cool was well captured in Viz magazine by the strip Student Grant: "Grant has a number of friends who are just like him in that they are eager to express their "individuality" by all wearing the same kind of clothes," in the Wikipedia article. I remember one episode in which music fashions on campus were changing fast and Grant failed to keep up with the coolzone: his T-shirt favouring one band was OK at breakfast but laughably out of date by lunchtime.
