Now, when did "cool" _come_ into style?  I certainly think of it as ephemeral 
and colloquial in the meaning in which I _think_ you mean it.  Perhaps I am 
showing my age and/or you your youth. ;-)

"Nice" of course was already the subject of complaints in Jane Austen's 
writing!

Your other words, except for "wicked" I had to look up in wiktionary to find 
out the slang meaning to which I assume you refer!
