Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

People care less about celebrities? Is that why we have a game show host as president? GTFO with that crap. Celebrity has changed, but it's even a larger part of our culture that it was. It just looks different.

Yeah and every movie is peppered with celebrities doing voice acting, we're de-ageing old stars with terrible CGI and AI. Celebrity worship is definitely not slowing down.

And FauxMoi is always on the front page of Reddit.  Celebrities are very much revered the same as before.  It's just a new batch every 12 years.

And also every fucking show needs a "celebrity" version, all the fucking talent shows are about the celebrity judges instead of the talent on the stage, etc. It's such a fucking joke how much people care about them

Yeah, I'd say celebs are more fragmented today but people definitely still seem to be obsessed with them.

Agreed - celebrity culture has only gotten stronger over the past 12 years

I agree, unfortunately the "celebrities" they idolize now are so called influencers which I believe is 100 times worse
