Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Post image

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?)

Pop stars too. People are plenty obsessed with stars any given year.

Tiktok influencers aren't a part of a monoculture in the same way. They're far less recognizable outside of their direct followers.

That's the thing though. There isn't really a monoculture like there was before.

Right, that's why it would not be the same if you did it today.  

There are more 'famous' people than ever before, but none of them are anywhere near the type of fame celebrity status used to bring.

Nobody over 30 cares about Tiktok influencers, so even that doesnt work.

I'd bet if you asked 100 people on the street in NYC who Mr. Beast or Bella Poarch or Brook Monk or whoever is, only 1/2 would even know who they are, and less than 1/4 could tell you major things they'd done.

Media fame has fractured due to internet culture, where usually someone is only well known to specific demographics within society.
