cool-pose culture

The collected behaviors associated with portrayal of cool, disaffected, or gangsta-hip lifestyle. Can be evidenced by speech patterns, oversized clothing, and tude (including, but not limited to, slouching, frequent and prominent gesticulation, and a middle-distance gaze.

The cool-pose culture of urban youth has seeped into the suburbs and beyond.
