Highly subjective.
Of course ^ this must "look cool" as I see people riding around on hybrids and mtbs (with the grips and controls at the ends of the handlebars where they usually are) holding on tight up close to the stem to recreate this "cool" look and to capture the excitement and superior "flow in traffic" that one gets with brakeless freewheel.
They even raise the saddle to achieve the toe down, stretched out arse wobble that completes this cutting edge style of urban riding.
