When something is awesome, it is only natural to be interested in it. It is even more amazing to do something before it was cool and then be able to brag about it. You get that sense of accomplishment since you were the first to do it. A lot of unique hobbies people partake in have the potential to become popular and cool. Indoors or outdoors, there are a lot of factors that indicate if something is going to be cool or not.
Something dull on the surface could be more fun than it seems. Everything depends on the ease of getting into it. Plenty of outdoor activities that we think are cool now might have been boring before. Snowboarding might be popular and easily accessible now, but before its golden days, it was a niche sport that only a few people could afford. Indoor activities, on the other hand, are at risk of being labeled monotonous. Listening to Radiohead and playing chess — things that had the "uncool" all over them, but something that everybody does at this point.
There are a lot of cool activities to choose from and do. LarleneLumpkin asked on Askreddit — “What is your ‘I was into X before it was cool’ thing?” Since there were a lot of answers to choose from, we have compiled some of the best ones below. If any of the popular activities seem cool to you, upvote them. Otherwise, if you already partook in them and maybe got some reactions from people, share it with a comment below.

"I probably had one of the first Top 10 channels back in 2011 where I would post top 10 video stuff about games. I gave up because it was too much editing and work, but a few years later those Top 10 channels became very popular."
