>Idea that something cool would stay cool forever sounds like oxymoron.

Oxymoron is an idea whose definition competes with itself.

Nothing about coolness is against "staying forever" as such.

An actual oxymoron would be that something can be a "permanent fad" (as the nature of fads is to be transient).

Or that "it's cool to be uncool".
