Why You Should Aspire To Be As Cool As Ezra Koenig

Most everyone has heard of New York indie band Vampire Weekend. They're super cool and hip. The band's members all met while studying at Columbia University. They've become very well-known amongst the younger crowd because their songs talk about youth fading fast, which is pretty relatable. Over the years, Vampire Weekend has increased in popularity because of lead singer Ezra Koenig. His hilarious Twitter account and cool factor has fans going crazy. Koenig makes 'being cool' seem effortless, and he makes you want to embrace your weird side. Because of this, I've compiled a list of reasons why you should aspire to be as cool as Ezra Koenig.
