This generation is taught to put everything online
And Chase clout through social media
Older generations wanted to be discreet. We had had cameras back then but you weren't taking pics of shyt you wasnt supposed to
Nikkas nowadays film themselves doing robberies
I don't think the public back then cared about personal lives of sports figures they just wanted their teams to win and fukk everything else
Rumor had it that Teddy Pendergrass flipped his car with DR.J's wife in the passenger seat the night he became paralyzed stuff like that would be all over TMZ now instead of just being folklore
Folks dont want to admit it but KD is right.
Bruh, there is no comparison. You realize that right now essentially EVERYONE always has a camera on them, and the contents of that camera can be instantly shared with millions of people. Back then a camera was bulky, and even when you took a picture you couldnt do shyt with it yourself, you had to take the film and send it off for someone else to develop it and send the pics back to you. There was a zero percent chance someone was going to randomly have a video camera. To add on another layer, often if you had a good picture, the motherfukkes developing them would steal them and just say the shyt didnt develop, so you were leery on even taking anything too risky.
People back then absolutely cared about the personal lives of celebrities, there were whole industries revolving around it, just in print form. To have a story truly go national, it had to be picked up by ABC, NBC, or CBS News. Some shyt could happen in Chicago but unless your local paper decided to print a story from Chicago in that tiny ass national news section you werent going to know about it. Something would run one day, and then its gone. Its not in your face forever with everyone constantly sharing it. The tech didnt exist for that. We all "heard' Barkley was throwing people through bar windows back in the day, but if it happened today video would be all over the internet with remixes and everything.
