Through Being Cool is the second album by Princeton, New Jersey-based band Saves the Day. It has a more melodic sound than their first release, Can't Slow Down, which was a more punk/hardcore driven record. The album was released only one year after the band's first release even though they had replaced 3 of their members. At the time of the recording, Saves The Day consisted of Chris Conley, Dave Soloway, Ted Alexander, Eben D'Amico, and Bryan Newman.

"Through Being Cool" is also the name of a Devo song, as well as a lyrical excerpt from the song "Unlisted Track" by Jawbreaker, a band Chris Conley was influenced by.
