Love the convo that is happening in the comments 🌸. Let's shine a light on something crucial: our society is obsessed with celebrities. Sure, it'd be awesome to rally for change in politics and other critical areas (and that happens too). But also, tackling the celeb obsession is a vital and necessary step toward seeing greater change. It's wild how much attention and energy celebrities get compared to real-world issues. Since attention equal money in this capitalistic society, we have to be intentional where that goes. Maybe then we'll finally start addressing the bigger challenges head-on. Its not about getting rid of celebrities, art, and entertainment as a whole. It's about humanizing celebrities, thereby lowering them from the pedestals they've been placed upon. Not saying take away all their money or anything extreme, but rather to reimagine what celebrity culture and being a celebrity looks like.

The money goes towards historical preservation of clothing and costume. Its not just paying for a party its raising funds for a extremely important part of historical preservation. Most celebs also don't pay to go to the Met, they're sponsored or paid for by the designers for recognition of their work in return. Its not money thrown away its going to a good cause.

Gen Z isnt going to “end” celebrity culture necessarily, they are just going to experience something adjacent to it. a time period where everyday people act as/get treated like celebrities because of how easy it is to have your own platform and become viral. when the girl in her living room doing GRWMs can get as much attention as a post from an actress, practically everybody is a celebrity. and when everybody is a celebrity, nobody is.

Just a different idea of what being a celebrity looks like.

Gen Z does worship "celebrities". Gen Z worships social media celebrities. People are separating traditional celebrities from social media influencers who have a high level of celebrity. Some social media influencers are millionaires, because they gained celebrity from Gen Z, and they are no different than traditional celebrities. I can name a number of mediocre influencers who have become millionaires, because they stole someone else's content or went go in public doing ridiculously ignorant things. I love that people are calling out traditional celebs, but influencers need to be held accountable as well.

My family is on the brink of homelessness, yet my mother makes 85k a year. Just 10k less than a ticket to the Met Gala, that celebrities can pay for in a single day like it's nothing. We're constantly saving money because everything is so expensive, and we almost lost our apartment recently because my mother couldn't pay the rent on time. She paid two days late. We often go two or three weeks without buying groceries just to pay the bills, and it's horrible. Gen Z doesn't like celebrities anymore because we're all suffering and are tired of how things are right now.

Missed the mark a bit. Gen Z is absolutely not above celebrity worship whatsoever. Charlie D’Amelio, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Timothee Chalamet, Ice Spice, Emma Chamberlain, Etc etc etc. Gen Z is single-handedly the reason for most Tiktok users rise to stardom. And they’re being constantly marketed to with Amazon storefronts & sponsorships, which fuels the entire ecosystem and continues the toxic cycle. As much as Gen z likes to think they’re progressive and “taking a stand” they sink into the same traps as everybody else, it’s just in a different font.

Tbf I think celebrities are more likely to get a “pass” over politicians when it comes to getting called out for this shit since many like them and believe they’re not “directly” concerned with politics. So I don’t think it’s misplaced energy just yet (although I agree some people really do need to be reminded about politicians)

Coming from a person who is gen z, I completely agree. However, compared to celebrities, politicians seem a lot harder to reach - yes our vote counts, but the people we have to chose between to give our vote to always feels like choosing btwn the lesser of two evils. I’m excited for us to start running for offices and pushing for rhetoric that falls more in line with our values. But until then, and for the sake of the economy, blocking celebrities feels like the first step in getting money to people who actually need it for now.

Real. The whole boycotting celebrities feels like an entryway to the bigger picture of boycotting those who exploit the middle class. Because celebrities are in fact 1 step below the 1% of oligarchy that control the world we know. Because if you see how people are blocking celebs, theyre also blocking their businesses AND big businesses like disney, amazon, etc. Because what this current "ending celebrity culture" movement represents is people waking up and realizing our power as consumers in general. Will there be senseless parts of the mobs, sure. But thats just part of any movement. Doesnt mean the whole thing is useless.

I have a lot more to say. All of these things that GenZ has been talking about have been happening, but they just didn’t want to hear it. You know what I really think? That a lot of GenZ has just grown up, and many of them have aged out of being TikTok stars and social media influencers. So now seeing how hard and unbearable real life is are embittered towards celebrities and people with obscene amounts of money. People have always been human trafficked. Life has always been hard to exist for somebody somewhere. The rich and wealthy have always been languishing in pools of milk and Honey. GenZ just thinks they’re the first ones to shake their fist and say “it’s not fair“ at the establishment. Get in line.

Honestly, the only reason why I feel like people are boycotting celebrities is because they’re incredibly poor and are having a tough time in society more than ever. Realizing how much their favorite celebrities and influencers have much more than them is turning people into green eyed monsters. It reminds people of the time when people were saying “boycott, Coachella“… As if most of us had the means to go there! As if most of us have the means to purchase Balenciaga on the regular. People are upset for a hot minute and then they get over it. Because if people were really over it and they were really ready to burn this thing to the ground then we’d have seen the change already. Look at how many people made sure they participated in the Taylor Swift Eras tour? You can’t say it was just parents buying it for their teenagers, because there were definitely grown folks paying with their “grown folks” money. If the economy suddenly changed tomorrow, then people would be quiet and go back to their regularly scheduled programming. They didn’t ask to be put on Olympic tall pedestal, they didn’t ask to be worshiped, and they didn’t ask to be made holier than thou. Lastly, let’s not, pretend that people haven’t been using their own little smidge of power to try and destroy people. It was only a matter of time before Zendaya went to the chopping block, Marie Antoinette style.

@@chaoskhaos5061 I think what they mean by this is that they don’t see celebrities stuff anyway. Most algorithms are somewhat tailored to your experience and if you only interact with your friends posts and posts about horses then you probably don’t see celebrities on your feed and blocking them would be purely symbolic because it’s not like they get the number of how many people blocked them I’m on Facebook and Tumblr. Facebook is mainly to see what my parents tell people about me and to see life updates of people I was friends with 5-10 years ago but don’t talk to anymore (old friend just got engaged this week and people graduating) Tumblr has a handful of celebrities but they don’t have any real influence from it. Neil Gaiman and Will Wheaton are on there but they aren’t advertising their works, just hanging out. There’s the big accounts, but once again they’re random people that are beloved more so for their posts (like one time i dreamt and bad jokes by jeff) and people know little to nothing about their real life, nor do they care. Could I log into my old insta and twitter to block all the celebs I can find? Would it be a laughable joke that would literally change nothing about my life and how I interact with the world? Yeah

My parents pretty much made constant reminders of not getting into drama and told us how they handled drama in their own lives (growing up or from work). It was both a reminder and a constant lesson.

@@LoneWulf278 The Congo, Haiti, and Sudan also are harder to access for the general population. The oppressed people have long been stripped of their access to the outside world. They don't have allies in their regions like Palestine does. That will actively fight for aid to be provided or ensure their access to crucial services is difficult to disrupt. Haiti, Sudan, and the Congo are exploited by all sides of the international politics spectrum. They are often also the targets of "aid" campaigns that have never been disrupted in the way aid to Palestine has been controlled. So it's harder to develop the same brutal imagery and clearly heinous conduct. The Palestinian genocide has been so visible. While the actions in Haiti, Sudan, and Congo are just as horrific.

I need to talk about this so I'll detail the context to make my point: People discovered in the early days of social media they could support literally anyone they personally liked. Early internet "celebrities" didn't want to be celebrities or associated with Hollywood at first, that took some years to change. Cable took a huge hit with the younger audiences. Gossip magazines were selling less and less for several reasons. We were obsessed with the idea of seeing "people like us". Hollywood was struggling with the youth for the 1st time, trying to win a game of catch up with internet culture that they lost for years before they pick themselves back together. Yes, consumers do have more control than they think, and it's a great thing they're realizing it. But no, it won't be an easy shift, because it will have to be cultural, and it will have to be deeper than blocking celebrities.

There are other reasons to block celebrities other than making them uncomfortable and diminishing their ad revenue. You can also block them to prevent the distractions they create in your life, to stop comparing yourselves to them (which is good for your self-esteem), to support other people who are just as talented but not as popular, to bring attention to issues that are important to you, and to free up the space that celebrity culture takes up in our minds. You don't only have to block celebrities for the good of the world, you can do it for the betterment of your own daily life. It may also help kill off stan culture, which is a cesspool and destroys critical thinking and creativity.

I also find it funny how y’all want to be rich but also hate seeing rich people and how people that want kids are working hard to give their children a comfortable life but they also hate seeing people that grew up comfortably. 😭 Like someone in the comments said instead of being so bitter about celebrities use that energy to remove the people in power that made the system what it is. I promise you that 75k still wouldn’t have gotten to you if the brands didn’t spend it at the met gala. There are billionaires with net worth’s higher than a whole country’s GDP and y’all are mad at millionaires for wearing expensive clothes and singing. 💀 Blocking a celebrity isn’t going to stop a genocide or war or economic crisis.

I have a genunine question, please don't hate on me, if anyone reads this and wants to answer, please do it respectfully, I personally don't consider myself a celebrity "whorshipper", I always try to draw the line, I don't know these people, I don't know what they think, what they stand for, but is it bad to follow them solely for the product they give? For example, music, I've never really cared what the singers I follow are up to, like brand deals, dating, gossip and stuff like that, I only care when they release new music, of course if an artist explictly shows problematic behaviour, I withdraw support, but can't we take the power away on many other areas outside of their main product? I'm genuenly asking, of course entertainment and enjoyment is not more important than human lives, but I personally believe specially that music can be very important in a person's life, and maybe you just haven't clicked with other artists, while I don't listen to a lot of mainstream artists, I've heard people say that singers like Taylor Swift basically changed their lives, and while I don't understand how as her music is not my thing, I wouldn't wanna take away that from that person, don't make her the most powerful woman in the world because of that, but the product she made actually did some good, this is why I'm conflicted, yes, these celebrities live in a bubble, but I believe not all of them are bad people, some are scared or were badly advised to not speak up, can we pop their bubble without condemning them and can at least SOME of them reddeem themselves? I'm so sorry for the very long text, this is an issue that conflicts me a little and I wanted to make it very clear this is a genuine doubt and not me trying to say all these rich celebrities are good people and we should just continue to support blindly, but again, is not at all more important than the human lives being lost everyday

The major issue is that we need to separate artists who are basically pressured to keep a public profile to sell their work (mainly because there’s no real money in the artistic fields except for the lawyers and finance bros who control the markets) and random people like the Kardashians who are celebrities simply for the sake of being famous. Obviously, the idea of celebrity is inhumane in and of itself, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with being well known and respected for your work…. emphasis on the WORK part. No one needed to know about Nina Simone’s chaotic home life to love and respect her artistry. Joni Mitchell barely leaves her house cuz she’s too busy smoking and painting and minding her business. We just want the art. Whatever we glean about the artist’s personal life from the work is all that needs to be shared with the public. We need a new system where artists can get paid for their work so they don’t have to keep promoting themselves to stay afloat. Then the marketing of oneself becomes the job instead of art making.

Also, it's worth noting that before social media, it was the norm for celebrities to be stalked, harassed and assaulted by paparazzi who violated their privacy to profit off of the public's interest in their personal lives. The arrival of social media provided a direct line of communication between celebrities and the public, allowing them to better control how much of their personal lives they wish to share, if anything, and making it available for free which killed a lot of business for gossip rags and paparazzi. The public always had an unhealthy interest in celebrities' private lives, but at least now celebrities can benefit from it by promoting their work while also protecting their privacy to some degree and mitigating risks to their safety. But the public demand for the personal content we see from them is nothing new, it just changed medium. The voyeuristic aspect of celebrity worship has always been problematic.

I love this comment, because it is something that's bothered me for a long time. It feels like art in and of itself is no longer valued or appreciated anymore, which makes it nearly impossible to build any kind of creative career. In the past, artists had "sponsors" and time to create their masterpieces - Michelangelo, for instance, stayed with a benefactor while working on a statue for him. Now, artists have to have another job just to stay alive, then still have enough mental energy left to create. But even the full-time jobs are barely enough to get by on these days. So, basically, artists just don't have the time or the energy to create anything anymore. That's why we have such bad quality items, why everything is fast produced. The world values quantity more than quality these days, and because of it we are losing the chance to witness amazing creations by talented people. For all we know, our Michelangelo is currently working in McDonalds trying to get by, or studying something else because he knows art won't be able to sustain him financially. The only way to get your work noticed is by promoting it, but that also takes time and energy.

A lot of them simply do NOT align or relate to our generation’s values and we all remember how much of a disaster it was when they were collectively vocal a few years ago. There were some positives of course, but the last time a celebrity got excessively involved with politics there were multiple elections from hell 🥴

Cultural preservation is also important. Two things can matter at the same time. In this moment, and every moment, the lives of people are the most important thing. That's why we need museums. We need to be able to remember and connect with the lives of the people in the past. The lives lost today will be remembered most vividly by museum collections in the future. The Met's collection includes things from dozens of other wars across hundreds of years, all of which deserve to be remembered. If we threw out that history every time there was a war, the lives lost would be forgotten that much faster. I personally think it's pretty resourceful that the Met wasn't getting funding from the government (which SHOULD be funding public arts and cultural works) so they decided to have rich people dress up in stupid outfits and pay for it.

I truly think we're in the beginning stages of a dystopian society where powerful elites are making the world their stage. The difference now is that they're not trying to hide it anymore.

One suggestion: also block the products they advertise and use products from other companies. It will have a double impact, as companies will move away from these celebrities much quicker. Secondly, it will definitely improve competition as well

Hey, Hollywood/celebrity culture may have its craziness - but let's make sure us non celebrity folk are not enacting Hunger Games/GoT bs on each other. Let's be honest about how we ALL treat each other in this society. Celebrities are NOT forcing the average human to play mind games and power plays with people in their circles. Before you go after a celebrity's morality, check what's going on in your own neighborhood and your own mind.

this ! also we need to pay way more attention to politicians (as another commenter said) because THEY are the ones who have a direct impact on our laws etc. celebrities can only do so much and ik it’s hard for people to stomach but they really aren’t obligated to publicly speak on certain things if they don’t want to.

This is such a good point. I know a lot of people who are quick to cancel a celebrity online for racism or homophobia but won't call out their own friends making racist or homophobic comments right in front of them. And that's just one example

Gen X here. We just watched their movies, enjoyed good performances, and fantasized about what a celeb's life was like. We didn't look to them as friends and definitely not leaders or someone to follow beyond a hairstyle. Now celebs are trying to be something they are not...instead of people who most likely didn't finish HS and like the camera.

_"i want my out of touch celebrities, TO BE out of touch"_ is so real. i think the part that i dislike about celebrities nowadays is how they try to pander to us plebeians. talking about their "mental health" and how they "struggle with anxiety". like babe ... i don't care. i struggle with depression from wondering how i'm gonna pay my bills this month. NEXT.

I think you should care. Because people taking mental health seriously now make the workplace more bearable since your employers need to not watch how they treat you. Yes, inflation is still happening. But at least there are ressources for when you're feeling overwhelmed and desperate

Well to be fair getting chased down by paparazzi and picked apart by thousands of strangers online can't exactly be good for your mental state. Don't get me wrong, they're different problems, but mental illness is just one of those things that fame/money can't protect you from imo.

Just because someone is wealthy doesn’t mean their anxiety/depression is going to go away. This just feels like you’re discounting them as mental illnesses and like they’re something only we are allowed to experience.

Girl just because you have depression doesn’t mean rich people can’t have it too. Your issues are right in your place but that doesn’t mean you get to discount how others feel, really good example of how we are trying to keep other people in check (morally) but fail to hold ourselves accountable when we say shit like this.

Look at the musicians at the smaller scales, their music have passion and creativity, and they'll always got overlooked because of how things work and money and fame. These big industries are heavily controlled where they don't have anymore creativity.

There is another side to this argument where Gen Z have a habit of taking down their heroes. How are any celebrities or anyone in the public eye supposed to make any meaningful changes when Gen Z are so quick to take them down if they make a human mistake? I agree with everything you said in the video but I also think we need to allow celebs to be human too. Hopefully then this will open the space for celebs to speak on meaningful social issues without. the fear of being "cancelled".
