Definition

  • Despite their celebration in popular culture, work in “cool industries,” such as entertainment, fashion, and media, comes with high levels of risk and inequality. The cool industries, so called for their high cultural status and visibility in the media, are cultural production industries, such as music, film, advertising, and design.
