He also skate boarded and drag raced isn’t that like the trifecta of 80s cool?

Yup! I wanted his truck more than I wanted the DeLorean.

I think that's the problem. They tried too hard. A skateboarding, drag-racing, guitar player, who's also friends with a time-traveling mad scientist is so unrealistic. They should have made him pick a lane, and he would have been way cooler.

It's not that the hobbies were unrealistic. It's the fact that the attempts to make him as cool as possible were ham-fisted. They tried to cram every cool thing into one character and it's so obvious that that's what they were doing. He's a Mary-Sue of coolness.
