In many ways, celebrity culture it isn't what it used to be. Before the internet and paparazzi, celebrities existed in sort of their own dimension, separate from commoners. The only time they were seen were in performances which were almost exclusively an upper class experience, only time they were heard from was very scarce interviews, or quotes in papers, we knew virtually nothing about their personal lives or childhoods like we do with Wikipedia. Seeing them really did feel like seeing a star up close. Your average persons interest in them was also more balanced because we didn't have social media to keep tabs on their every action, or the opportunity to create an online persona that revolved around stanning and shilling them. You might say they were held to a higher standard.

And this is just Travis. Karol G just sold out 50+ stadiums a year after performing in ballrooms and theaters.

Here goes Argentina celebrating their entertainers winning a trophy (World Cup)

The most watched television broadcast in history every year is the Super Bowl halftime show this celebrity culture s*** is not going anywhere any time soon

yeah this sort of stuff is exactly why a MJ-tier musician/celebrity would never be reached again, obviously MJ’s fame and reputation was just a once in the lifetime type thing, but the conditions that allowed him to even get so global and awe inspiring like that no longer exist

I’d argue it’s worse because nowadays they worship and stan regular hoes.

Lil Durk, Moneybag yo, and Lil Baby’s chicks all have fanbases and women who worship them

I think it’s shifting from celebrity culture to more grassroots “regular” culture where people will follow more regular looking celebrities because they are more relatable opposed to the lavish lifestyle these current celebrities have

those guys predate the current age of celebs tho don't they? I don't follow that sport but I feel like I've always heard those names for years

I was just using the context of celebrity culture dying. They have to gain new fans to maintain that level of fame and they have. The biggest streamer in the world who is a leader of Gen Z glazes Ronaldo to the point of addiction. This s*** not going anywhere lmao
