As somebody who was born in 2007, I have no clue who modern celebrities are either. People consider me out of touch but I have no idea what half of what people around me are saying. The acronyms don't help and I am too scared to search them up.

I watch NBA basketball and back in the day (1990s) there was exactly one player that was referred to by his initials: Michael Jordan. Nowadays fans use initials (with their jersey number occasionally tacked on as if that's the cleverest thing to do in the world) for almost every player and it's almost impossible to know who they're talking about. For some players this is legitimate (e.g. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a mouthful so SGA is a good replacement) but for most it is not.
In baseball now, they like to make nicknames by taking the first initial and the first syllable of the last name. Like J-Hey. It's annoying and unoriginal. Baseball used to have the best nicknames too.

Oh god, this is worse than the initials+jersey number thing.

There's a whole lot of people who are basically famous with being famous...
In the distant future, when we look back on scattered social media caps, we will regret that the date of posting is not shown. Like scattered pages from books unknown, page numbers elided.
Even some articles or blogposts are without publish date. This should be illegal.

"CURTAINS FOR ZOOSHA? K-SMOG AND BATBOY CAUGHT FLIPPING A GRUNT."
Is Baby Gronk the new Drip King, or is he just getting rizzed up by Livvy?
I love that yours is entirely real but it feels just as fake as the entirely fake one you are replying too 🤣
entirely real
I will press (Gen) X to doubt...

Personally, I loved the idea of new media. Cable was shit.
After experiencing new media...... there's some good stuff in there, guys. I promise. Just gotta wade through mountains of shit.
There should be some rule like; if you have a preference it can't exist all by itself unless it's watered down or mixed in with every other preference.
Thank all that is good for genres. At least there is some media that can define itself clearly enough and still build enough of a following to self fund.
If its good enough, the news of it will get to me eventually and I will see for myself.
This is how I live now.
This is what it means to be old.
I'm 34.
Just remember folks, those 2007 people are able to vote now.
Don't worry, they won't. (at least most of them)

I was talking to my primary-school age kids about their teachers, and one of them says their next teacher will be Mr Smith.
"He's old," they said, "he must be at least fifty".
I said "nah man. Mr Smith is probably only a few years older than me, early forties I reckon".
They had me with "no he's like really old. He reads a newspaper"
