Is celebrity culture dying ?

Yep, exactly.
The only thing i'm curious about now is how fleeting it might be.
An old past their prime person with talent can still earn a living touring or playing their old hits, or playing the mentor role to younger stars in new movies like Hopkins in Thor for example.
Not sure what these streamers are going to do to keep themselves relevant to the next generation and working past their primes.

Idk seems like the energy of “famous” people is shifting
Or maybe is just the fact that the celebs of several black generations is being put up in that summer jam screen, and now we looking all of em in a funny light
Like bill cosby was damn near about to die in prison, that man been popping since the 70s
The energy is definitely different now
That's the give and take of their short path to fame being founded on nothing solid. It can go away fast. When people become used to being influencers and their rise is rapid they can fall off just as quickly or they burn out trying to sustain the hype. Look at Akademiks. He's damn near a legacy act in his lane already. Then there's the skit comedians who often struggle to get into movies or on stage. You can go from being famous to nothing fast and you didn't really have a career so it's not like movie actors doing tv and stage when shyt slow down. Influencers just fall off

Most people are spineless and don’t have much to live for
People pretend to not care about these celebrities but would bend over backwards to get their attention and/or be in the same circles as these people whether they’d admit it or not
Look how people talk so much about finances in their dating life, do u really believe these people would shrug it off if Kai Cenat DM’d them?
Before Diddy went to jail I seen a video of him on the strip with hella people surrounding him like he was a zoo animal, he whopped Cassie’s ass on camera
Don’t listen to these people they be cap

Pretty much. I know people on TikTok who get more clout than the celebrities manufactured.
It kind of goes to show how insane fandom is though because people were on that “I’d dIE foR thEir mUZiCk!” overdrama.

The thing is, now more than ever people sees these famous people for what they are and they’re definitely getting knocked down to size.
You see the most famous people getting clowned by an 11 year-old kid on social media in the replies.
Then if they try to dodge overexposure, you see people call them aloof or “trying too hard”.
It’s almost like the grift has been exposed.
Remember, back in the day the court jester was the bottom of the hierarchy. Something happened somewhere along the lines and it got flipped, now we’re seeing it adjust again.

Yes.
Because of this.
Which takes away the luster.No social media just made it easier for anyone to become a celebrity.
Social media killed celebrities
Because the mystique of they personal life is gone, because the world know what they doing every minute because of social media and cameras everywhere
I think these people like kai, druski and even a fool like Charleston White are corny, but people are attached to them in some way..

Pam Anderson was a famous celebrity that was known for being pretty. Reality TV wasn’t like it is now, so they put her on TV to basically play herself.
She paid her dues working in hollywood for a long time. All actors and actress are boosted by being attractive.
Pam had a recurring role on two of the most popular sitcoms of all time. Home Improvement and Beverly Hill 90210. She was famous because she was in those shows, not just because she was pretty.
She got those roles because she was pretty though, i'll give you that.
But she would've just been some random playboy model from page 6 that people forgot about by now if it wasn't for those shows.

How is that tweet far off base if a Taylor Swift and Beyonce endorsement didn't help kamala? Celebrities don't have control over the masses like they used to. This is not even debatable
What exactly does that prove?
What president has ever won because of celebrity endorsements?
And further more someone losing doesn’t mean they still didn’t receive a boost. Kamala got more votes than Obama did
