imagine going to a grown ass man with three kids talking about speed or Kai. They are going to say what the f*** are you talking about?

Same thing with women.

streamers are performers for mostly young men who have nothing to do with their time besides watch them. They generate really popular clips, but their core audience is still young men and aren’t as global nor as popular as prince or Michael Jackson

Idk what’s going on in here but let’s make sure we send Speed to compete for something in the next Olympics. Bruh too athletic to not be doing some sport

His 30 day mafiathon is underrated for someone at his level of fame

Comedy you gotta do movies, TV and have a special green lit. Duke Dennis came up making 2k my player builds on YouTube. You can’t compare it.

Average kid coming up today that would’ve wanted to rap or sing 10-15 years ago probably wants to be a streamer or YouTube.

Adults didn’t know Uzi and Carti in 2015-2018 either

Cannot overstate how bad I feel for young people.

yeah, because these people aren’t that popular. You live in a bubble not everyone knows who these people are so you can’t compare them to Michael Jackson or prince. This s*** is disrespectful regular people know who these artist are.

I’m not gonna lie you sound like a A kid bro

we talking about global popularity and being universally known and you talking about adults didn’t know Uzi Vert was

Mbappe

Gotta remember streaming is still very niched as popular as it may be. They barely even scratching Mbappe nuts in popularity

It is interesting how exceedingly popular they and other streamers are; like things are reverting to some semblance of a Monoculture at least among certain large demographic segments/younger generation. I also agree in your putting this thread in this section that this is relevant in the context of music somehow, because in the 10’s and prior for Black culture musicians largely filled this role (with actors interspersed). What this means for music and musicians long term IDK

The kids are not alright

I already said OP is being hyperbolic with the comparison for the sake of getting eyes on the thread.

But being a teenager from America and being able to draw these crowds all the way in Asia is closer to being some MJ than it is to not being.

This is off a random tweet he did on a whim. This some prime Ye s***

yes, popular people can get crowds and I agree that they’re very popular but that’s only for young men. Michael Jackson did not have an audience of young men, So comparing streamers to Rockstars, who perform music is just in my opinion.

They can create a Spectacle and life of hype in different countries, which is pretty insane considering that all this s*** started because of live now and justin.tv

@OP is 14 years old.

I think it’s past the point of them being only popular with young men. Someone like Duke Dennis has a female following atp. Same with Kai as well

I don’t even watch this s*** but I peep what’s going on from a distance. This stuff is bigger than you think

I agree

SPEED is light years ahead of kai when it comes to global recognition

dude was in cambodia getting swarmed lol

You talking out your ass. Where do you have legitimate proof that his audience has over 30% females because I see literally the opposite

I also literally watch streamers and understand the environment, Hasan has more female fans than Kai

wrong sxn @op take it to G&G for glazing

More like GOD and Jesus Christ

No

My youngins richer than u rappers and they all stream

They are nothing more than commentators

Not even religious but the audacity to say this on a Sunday
