The postmodern meaning to my uncool playlist

There is no "cool" anymore, it is impossible to be "cool", people are too opinionative for there to be a right and a wrong in what is "cool". My playlist to someone else may seem unusual or different and not of their taste, but it is not "uncool". The phrase "cool" is unusable anymore as it has lost all of its meaning due to it being over analysed and used. Some may associate myself to have an unusual playlist as there are Heavy Metal Songs as well as Pop Songs.
Due to music being so easy to reach with online streaming, YouTube and iTunes, it is easy to have no knowledge of any music genres as being separate. It is entirely possible for everyone to be interested in all music genres and not generalising them into categories and sub-categories. Would it not have been for the internet enabling me to reach out to find more genres, then I would still just be a fan of Pop music, and only like specific artists and it would be very difficult for my knowledge and understanding of music to expand.
