It's always difficult to keep track of what teens consider cool these days, but a recent survey conducted by Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google's market research wing provides some valuable insight.
Google's report, titled "It's Lit: A guide to what teens think is cool," ranks brands by their coolness factor.

The main takeaway is that some of the brands widely considered to be ultra-popular with teens are in fact not on teens' radars. For example, Vice, the new-age media empire that was presumed to be coveted by younger people because of its online presence and unique documentaries, is in fact dead last in both categories: least aware and least cool.
Vice even ranked lower than the Wall Street Journal.
"Everything you've ever thought was gnarly, sick, rad, tubular, cool, kool, kewl, or hipper than heck turns out to be a lie," Spin.com noted.Aware But Not Cool

Bottom Line
At first glance, it might be erroneous to conclude that a stock's performance is tied to its coolness factor among teens. For example, the best performing stock, Sprint, ranked low on the charts. On the other hand, L Brands' Victoria's Secret brand ranked high, but its stock has been cut nearly in half and hit a 52-week low of $45.76 Monday.
Also, GoPro ranked 7.5/9 on the cool scale and 7.75/10 on the awareness scale but its stock has been under pressure for quite some time. Apple scored an almost perfect 10/10 on the awareness scale but its coolness score fell short of GoPro at 7.5.
