Why The ComicCon is Uncool

I went to the San Diego ComicCon back in the 1970's. When I was a teenager. Comics and science fiction, back then, were for people below the age of 21 or so. Anyone older was considered eccentric.

Adults didn't read comics or go to horror movies. They hated it and thought it rotted our brains. That's what made it cool.

Now that everybody has embraced that kind of entertainment, it is no longer cool. It's just mainstream.

It's like having a tattoo. It used to be radical. It's meaningless now.
