YouTube and unironically Kim Kardashian / Paris Hilton forever changed what celebrity could be which is now exacerbated by twitch.

I’d argue it’s worse because nowadays they worship and stan regular hoes.

Lil Durk, Moneybag yo, and Lil Baby’s chicks all have fanbases and women who worship them

Steamers just another word for celebrity

Nah these are facts, there are so many vast subcultures now that there's an abundance of multimillionaire creators you probably will never hear of lmaoo

i remember they got on ur head in that one thread for saying young niggas are going to go play Carti or some of them opium niggas before Drake

Yea I think today it’s just less noticeable. But yes that love for celebrities still exists and actually may even be worse now with more access to celebrities and their content. Just look at how Taylor and Travis are running a BAG. Another example would be someone like Kanye who sold $150M worth of shoes in 3 days after crashing out on Jews. That celebrity infatuation still exists

This convo reminded me of these comments from Natalie Portman earlier this year

From the same article
Ana de Armas told Vanity Fair herself last year that the movie star was a faded concept.

“I feel like the new generations don’t have that concept, because of social media,” de Armas said. “There is so much information out there and oversharing. The concept of a movie star is someone untouchable you only see onscreen. That mystery is gone. For the most part, we’ve done that to ourselves — nobody’s keeping anything from anyone anymore.”

But damn why ya'll stop comparing about celebs just as I'm becoming a celeb

celebrity worship is a lot more decentralized and not as homogenous in the days where tabloids and sensationalist articles would float around, but there’s still cult of personalities that exist around basically anyone with any sort of fame for something to an extent

Exactly. I don’t engage with a lot of s*** so I don’t see it but there’s Stan pages dedicated to mfers like Tate McRae and I never heard a song of hers in my life lmao

We got kids stream sniping Speed who was on a boat and pulling up to buddy in small boats/canoes. This s*** is even wilder today thanks to access. Like people are tracking celebrity flights today and checking/following their entourages story’s just to stay connected every day to this person

Just hop on Twitter

Today, depending on the celebrity, there's a bottomless amount of coverage on not only their personal and professional lives, but also their entire adolescence and road to stardom. Nothing is sacred with them anymore. Modern stars want to be seen as a peer to your average consumer for one reason or another, and are very casual about sharing the happenings in their personal lives with the world in both interviews and social media. Nothing wrong with a person wanting to be transparent in a vacuum, but I think it has had an almost exclusively detrimental effect on the way they are seen.

Maybe something to be said about them promoting themselves first hand, and not needing agents as much anymore? Probably just comes with the modern territory of social media. Thats also how we got to them being icons for product placement.

Gang there are stan pages of wrestlers arguing like they are kpop accounts

Niggas saying celebrity culture dying out when Travis Scott doing s*** like this in 2024

I say all that to say - the problems of celebrity culture lie in both celebrities giving us way more of themselves than is really needed, and fans for following them so obsessively.

I’m Gen Z and everyone I know in my generation still treats celebrities like celebrities lmao, idk why y’all think this on here

Exactly. The amount of montage videos I’ve seen of so many celebrities

I literally got into a argument with a nigga last week after he tried to say Travis is not a superstar

?? My post was agreeing with yours bro lmao we on the same side of the argument lol

I’m blocking every dumb ass nigga who tells me streamers are some form of celebrity I know that y’all don’t know how to read correctly in an attempt to come off right good I don’t even be on here like that

Them Liv Morgan / Rhea Ripley niggas right?

Women harrasing duke dennis and niggas hating on him has to be one of my favorites ngl

Yeah
