How has Blonde irrefutably changed the culture?

To me it’s mythical anticipation and equally impactful arrival shifted the way the culture of music was going at the time. 2016 was filled with so much good music but it seems like Blonde has reached a lot of artists like Tyler, Lorde, SZA, and “newcomers” like Omar Apollo, Dominic Fike, and Brockhampton.
Im speaking anecdotally but to me it didnt flip the entire scene of music ok its head but it definitely helped in a very big way push away from a trap heavy industry to more melodic and emotional music. Im open to differing opinions tho
Still MBDTF. S*** put the world on notice. Showed the world the peak that Hip-Hop and music can get to. High art s***. Ye went from most hated to the most celebrated over night. College Football Players still comin out to Power 10 years later. Got the best out of every feature. A level of focused collaboration we had never seen before.
So weird people that think chanel orange is better than blond
It is tho.
Frank scammed us all with Blonde
born to die (influenced pop heavily to be more low key and subdued)
currents (got the whole indie crowd captured)
take care (its take care what is their to explain)
astroworld (similar to tlop)
TPAB (culturally influenced and is the unofficial soundtrack to BLM)
The Money Store (had huge influence on the fantano/mu crowd + popularity of industrial hip hop)
everyone album here had some type influence on their respect genre/community
The way he went from a mediocre Kanye album to Lana Del Rey to Brockfuckinghampton. Breaking my keyboard rn.
couple more i can think of
beyonce/lemonade (both were huge and were culturally relevant)
teenage dream (6 no 1 singles do i say more)
pure heroine (similar to born to die pushing pop in the way it did)
RAM (cultural event its f***ing daft punk)
Purpose (same as tlop iconic tour, singles and merch)
Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites (iconic brostep record should get reevaluation in next couple years)
Has Frank influenced anyone yet or is it too early?
A ton of artists have cited blonde as an influence
Melodrama by lorde out now
James Blake last couple projects out now
Flowerboy and Igor out now
Testing out now
Like a dozen other indie and pop projects im missing
Damn by kendrick out now
The hip hop influence has been less than the rnb/pop/indie influence but it’s not really a rap project
James Black
