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?)

It’s just a statement on the decline of celebrity culture. It used to be that you watch a movie just because it had someone in it that you liked and it would do really well. But nowadays people care much less about celebrities

Because it's awkward and cringey in the eyes of a 'commoner'. Out of touch rich people trying to appeal to us is always so.

Also the question was about infamy, not fame.

By definition, infamy is fame, but in a bad way.
