"Cool Kids (our version)" Official Billboard Live Performance

[@RabidPossum7]

I would listen to this song when I'd come home from school around 2015-2018 and I'd cry, id wish so desperately i could be like everyone else and fit in. I'm so glad so many others hold this song so close to their hearts like me, here I am all these years later and im crying for a different reason. 💖

The original is basically a classic to me. But, man, this new version here is a thing of perfection. It’s wonderful to fall in love with a song again, to find it’s improved-better than nostalgia to come to something old and find it new after all.

The beautiful new bridge is like a puzzle piece which was missing to complete the song to perfection ❤️

[@echosmith]

Omg I LOVE THAT

[@Wiley_Coyote]

It kind of clarifies the meaning of the song. Or at least makes it a little more explicit. The original implies the misfits are better off, despite them feeling otherwise. The new version adds that years passing proved this.

[@placeholderblankspace]

@@Wiley_Coyote i wouldn't say clarifies honestly. I think it's just that we've all grown and from their own experiences they chose to make a bridge that also helps the song grow and have a new meaning

[@LordXenuSaves]

[@exxiethewriter3567]

When this song came out, I remember wanting to be a cool kid, fitting in. Now, I have learned that my strength and coolness has been found. I didn't need to fit in. I needed to find friends who embraced me standing out alongside them.

I still remember school😿But I was crazy about music in the 60's, and still loves to hear a good pop song today! I have loved the talented cool kids from Echosmith since day one! Thank you 💖☮☯🤟

[@yesitagrdn]

Thank you so much for bringing Cool Kids and its memories back alive in 2022, this song means so much to me. It reminds me of my father. I told him it was my favorite song and he loved it too, he played it repeatedly on our last holiday trip in 2015 and he passed away in 2020. I wish he could hear this beautiful version in heaven🥺 love you guys❤️

[@fayetopia_]

10 years later (8 since I first discovered you guys), this bridge was something I didn't know I desperately needed. Time passed was much needed for this new part to make sense. Your music was, and forever will be a constant light for me. Thank you Echosmith for sticking around with us through all these years 🤍

[@BTemplar]

Looking at the comments I see that I was right. This does mean a lot to everyone. Thank y'all for making this. You're all truly amazing. God bless!

[@miskaknapek]

I was going through quite a tough and lonely period back when this song was first being played on the local radio, back in 2015 in Finland. It struck a real chord in me, touched the sore spots and filled them with warmth. That the band was just starting out then, fitted right in with the song. It was a very special time, and the song fills a large part in this time. Also very much for its warmth. Thanks for the song and memories.

[@manoelramon8283]

[@CodeBleu724]

I started listening to pop/CHR radio again back in 2013-14 being bored at work. I discovered a lot of interesting stuff then. Echosmith, Lorde, Tove Lo, Powers, Cannons...etc. It's almost 10 years ago and I'm 50 now.

[@carlottasmalen3040]

This song came out a mere few months after I finally graduated from secondary school. My school was 100% ruled by “the cool kids” and although I despised them, I can very much relate to the desire to belong to such a group (just because all humans want to belong!). I really love the new bridge. It emphasises how I always felt: you might wish to be like the cool kids, but realise that you can never make a difference unless you are different. THANK YOU Echosmith for all your amazing songs ❤️

I feel so bad for those who only know "Cool Kids" from Echosmith, cause they're a whole incredible band It's amazing to think that the same band who released songs like "Come Together", make songs like Diamonds nowadays They might be in a new era, but their essence still in the same "younger dreamer" vibe Also, it's so cool how they still reminisce their old times, like singing "Cool Kids", which was a very important song to their career Love y'all, Sierota Squad!

Keep it up Echosmith ❤ I love those new lines at 2:21 as well (Posted May 2024)
