Jun 3, 2025·1 replymangotfluTiktok is more a s*** ton of microinfluencers tbh, there aren't really any huge celebrities coming out of it anymore. But there's an endless amount of micro celebrities coming out of it, that all fall off after a few years
Tiktok is where all the trends come from though. Trends don't really start in music anymore.
Streaming yeah
I think Speed is bigger than any music artist from even 2018. He's 100% bigger than Billie Eilish, Morgan, etc
Yeah Speed was legitimately the most famous teenager in the world other than maybe Lamine Yamal

i'd just rather watch tiktok instead of listen to music tbh, that's how it seems to be for many many people thesedays

hard to love it these days when most new releases are ass tbh
it's why so many cultural moments are happening on tiktok/other apps instead of in music now
music as a whole is losing its cultural influence due to tiktok+music being as
I’m glad you’re admitting that you don’t actually care about music (or anything, really) unless it feels like you’re a part of something larger
Makes sense why you went from a soulless Bad Bunny d***sucker to a Papi’s Angel in the span of a couple months

Speed did two very smart decisions:
decided to be a Ronaldo stan and got in touch with the football youth all over the world
decided to travel around the world
He's way bigger than Kai

That Ronaldo grift working really blew my mind ngl
It only worked because he was very young and people thought he's 100% serious about that lol

BRAVEYeah mainstream music is ass rn but how is that all you listen to, how are you waiting for mainstream culture to dictate your interest in music
Don’t ever say or imply you love music
Sums up most of this thread

It was funny to see knowing of speed from the beginning because he really just played 2K and raged
Then one day he’s a huge Ronaldo Stan

And the crazy part is, if someone tried to follow that same blueprint they would just look like a lame Speed imitator

Pretty sure he was surprised too that it works
And now he had Gianni Infantino in his stream
Jun 3, 2025·2 repliesmangotfluAlmost every trend is from tiktok, every largely talked about moment happens there
Also same with streaming. Kai Cenat + Speed are 10x bigger than any rapper that's blown up in the past 5 years.
Pop is trying hard as f*** to push Tate McRae, no one cares, she's absolutely nothing compared to these tiktokers/streamers etc
Your pop takes are so s***.
And why are you comparing an artist to streamers
- Jun 3, 2025·1 reply
Maybe the sad truth is most people are like mangotflu and depend on the crop of mainstream artists at the top to deliver music, and music as a whole just doesn’t exist to them outside of hits and superstars
Mainstream artists gotta step it up tho

Because streamers and influencers have encroached on the spaces that artists would’ve had 10 years ago.
Tate McRae a corporate pop act

In 2025, Tate scored her first #1 song and #1 album and is currently on a worldwide arena tour. Regardless of what you think of her, people are tuned in and do care.
Streamers have really only effected B-list rappers. Instead of kids listening to Lil Baby and YB they'd rather watch Kai Cenat get sturdy on stream

Well no s***.
They could be 5x bigger than they currently are by the end of the year and it wouldn't have any affect on Tate McRae. They have no overlap and no spaces are been taken lol.

Maybe, but Kai and Speed don’t hold a candle to the actual rap superstars like Drake and Kendrick
I just saw a clip of DDG claiming he’s bigger than rappers because he had a stadium’s worth of people tuned into his stream. This logic is ridiculous because watching a stream is literally free, and none of these streamers could fill up a 50K venue with paid tickets.
Also DDG is an actual rapper as well and his music goes quadruple plastic

I’ve had this discussion with Fader before. He doesn’t understand how big these streamers and influencers are.
I do understand they are massively popular, but you still couldn’t be more off the mark in comparing them to PRINCE and MICHAEL JACKSON
The most popular musicians, actors, and athletes will ALWAYS be more popular than the most popping streamers. Simple as that.
