Holy poo poo some people are really tattling on themselves with these takes - man there are no good young actors these days better go watch episode 2,000 of ASIP and AMERICAN DAD to alleviate my increasing disconnection with relevant culture.

If you have a lovely uninformed opinion, expressing it with vapid confidence actually has the opposite effect.

Guys - all of the actors I follow and all of the music I listen to is the same as when I was in my 20s.

When the same thing happened to my parents it just meant that they were old and out of touch - but this time it means that society has stalled and history has ended. Right? Guys.... right?

I have heard that pop music is effectively dead because nobody cares what's on the radio anymore and it's all about your individualized Spotify algorithm, which is why the most popular pop star is the one all the millennials liked when they were teens

new poo poo is no easier to listen to than old poo poo because it's all just Internet and so on

People are also always saying that movie stars aren't being minted at the same rate these days because the over-corporatized media thinks they're too expensive and would rather put out Existing IP Sequel #247 starring a bunch of people they signed into forever contracts when they were complete unknowns, which is why the most famous people are all a little older due to having hit it big before things got this bad

She was already a pop star before Spotify took over and ruined pop music. Thus, she is still the most popular pop star and has not been taken down by a younger, hipper replacement yet despite having been on the scene for like five typical pop star lifetimes

You'd think she'd be more popular around here then.

Nah memes. I don't listen to a lot of tunes, but when I chat about music with my mates (not often) it's a complete random mix of things. Lil Mix, Lil Darkie, Christ Dillinger, Honeymoan, BABii. I dunno how mainstream that is, probably not very given how insistent they are that i check them out, but feast on those Zoomer insights you ghouls.

I understand the timeline and reasons why, but it's still so odd to me that Taylor Swift was popular, then sort of popular, then S-Tier Super Star popular over the course of like twenty years.

It's hard to think of any analogues to this in any medium really.

i dont buy the argument. yeah everone is off on their own algorithmic adventure sure but its also easier to access music than ever before. you can be listening to weird alternative stuff and still be one click away from a taylor swift song

this is correct! And she's the biggest musical act on the planet by far despite having been around for two decades (and decades typically have culture so different from each other you can dress up as one for Halloween and people can tell which one) and has not been replaced with a zoomer yet (she is a millennial as has been noted), because all the zoomer musicians are part of people's algorithmic adventures instead of being given the keys to the country by some record company or other
