Is being a cheerleader actually 'cool' in the US?

Home More advice General Knowledge

In New Zealand, being a cheerleader is... for want of another word... lame and uncool. I was just watching a movie and it occurred to me that cheerleading seems like the 'cool' thing to do in the US, like all of the popular girls are cheerleaders. Here, it's the unpopular girls that try with cheerleading. I don't want to sound judgmental or anything, but when I was in school it would have been social su*cide to try out for cheerleading!
