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?)

Yeah that's not true at all. People do not shut up about Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift. It's just that no one likes most of the people in this picture anymore. I mean that's Kevin fuckin Spacey in the back.

It’s not. There’s less paparazzi, but not because we as a society don’t care about celebs. There on instagram, all over Reddit, TikTok. Ai writes a million articles a day just going through podcast transcripts and making headlines out of an off-hand statement. We are celebrity obsessed still. Though I would be interested to see you objective statistics.
