i blame this as one of the factors of why the overrall quality of art has gone down lmao

Worst era of music, worst era of tv, worst era of comedy, movie era is kinda weak

Gen Z is fukking awful for the most part at creating shyt, you dont see prodigies no more. Compare Stevie Wonder at 22 to everybody in that age range now
Art is on a serious decline. Every mode if entertainment is weaker than its ever been. Not only that but now theres little to ni money in it at all. Half all these “movie stars” are broker than avg american or the kids of the rich. Some jobs you need to be rich. Thats just how it is.

That's funny for her to be disgusted at tik tokers being falsely elevated to celebrity status as if all celebrity isn't false elevation.

I hate them nxggas. They be thinking they better than you just cause they be on TV. When I was working with celebs, I used to humble them nxggas every chance I got. Not in a malicious way but I just treated them like anybody else. You put your pants on one leg at a time just like I do. You aint better than me.

That's probably why I'm not connected to any of them fools anymore:mjlol:

At least some of them have a talent of some sort. Most TikTokers do not. But ultimately, I feel you. I used to work closely with celebs/politicians as well. And I used to do the same thing. I once told Post Malone he had a serious booger and dude was simultaneously like

:what: and :francis:

A Stevie Wonder in today’s age would be a Tik Tok star. Sad to say. That’s how he’d get his start.

What does it really mean to be famous in the first place?

Having x amount of followers? It’s been proven you can make a faceless, voiceless account and do the same thing?

Is it going “viral”?


Being “famous” is an illusion. At least the singer actually creates music and sells it. Social media people are just regular people and uses its “followers” as leverage to sell ad space and sponsorships.

It's simply way too accessible really. The sheer amount of shyt uploaded right now far outpaces anything in history. Imagine. BILLIONS of people around the world uploading shyt everyday.

Everyone with a laptop can make music now. Back in the day you had to buy some really expensive musical instruments to get the sounds you want.
Everyone with a phone can make movies and videos now with special effects. Back in the day this as you can imagine the costs would be insane.

So many video editors can be hired to do work on content additionally.

Another problem is the "real" stars are barely making anything that stands out vs these people (especially when it comes to the music industry). Their shyt straight up as mid as all these other kids doing the same thing.

TV actors and personalities are famous due to the advertising dollars they generate. Social media stars generate as much ad revenue, if not more than TV actors and personalities today. For a People's Choice Award, they absolutely belong. People forget around 24k people attend VidCon every year to see and meet those Social Media influencers. Now would Billie Eilish say the same about Mr Beast?

The barrier of entry for actors and musicians are higher and then they have to be able to draw an audience that will spend money on them. Then you have all the BS within those industries they have to intend with to not get taken advantage of and keep employment
