Discussion 💭🗯️ Who are some 2020s celebrities you can’t see making it out of the decade?
Which 2020s celebs do you think won’t be able to find success past the current decade that made them? Or, which current celebs of the decade will simply be looked back on as a product of their time/era? (Not saying Sabrina in particular btw just a famous person).

The vast majority of musicians right now will probably never be as famous as the ones of the past because it’s an oversaturated market made easier by one hit wonders on TikTok instead. I don’t think any musician that achieved mainstream fame in this decade will be as revered as Taylor Swift or Beyonce, Drake, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga etc.
•
u/mayamaya93 4h ago
Yep, just like none of the people you mentioned are as universal as Michael Jackson or The Beatles, because the market over-saturation has been happening for a long time now. Social media has made it ten times worse, but I know I had a lot more choices in media consumption than my boomer parents did.
Now there's just way too much terrible content to sift through. It's easier to watch and listen to shit I liked ten years ago.

I wonder if MTV and VH1 had more of an impact.
Before them you got what was on the radio or word of mouth. That limited both the audience and what was heard. Why waste valuable air time or money on a clone or meh bands.
Then MTV and, later, VH1 come along. You can only show the hit stuff for so long before it gets stale for the viewer. Not every song or band has videos either.
So you get this search for anyone, anything that you might think will get eyes in your channel. You start digging in areas not dug into before. Bands that would otherwise fade into obscurity, or even make a following, get air time.
Que social media rise. It sees the same formula that MTV and VH1 had. By this time, both are already in decline on the music front, and have switched to reality TV and other things.
Social media wants users. Bands want seen, but neither MTV, nor VH1 are really doing that anymore. Thus, they all hit social media. To engage and keep users, algorithms start popping anything close to what you've already hit on. The same is done for music apps like Spotify.
We're now in the product of a loop started with Video Killed the Radio Star.

Obviously no one will be as universal as the big names of the past, but there have always been smaller artists that coast alongside bigger ones. Now everyone is competing for charts and their music makes no noise in the general public. I think most people can name a Taylor Swift song or a Beyonce one, and their music is still pretty memorable. I don’t think artists like Olivia Rodrigo or Chappelle Roan have any sense of longevity, regardless of whether one likes their music or not.

She was great as a "flash in the pan" talent with some catchy club songs, but not substantial enough for long term success.

Chappell will probably have a lasting career as a more niche artist making highly acclaimed pop music for mainly gay people, aka the same route Carly Rae Jepsen and Robyn have taken. Either that or she will pull a Lauryn Hill and just never release another album and make spotty public appearances.
She has substance, I just don’t think she ever meant to be this famous and as a result does not play by the rules of how she is supposed to act and the industry has been punishing her with a media smear campaign for it. She definitely has what it takes to sustain a following if that’s what she decides to do though.

It also peaked at # 2 on the US billboard charts, # 1 in itunes and streaming, # 1 in the UK and is multi platinum with over 1 billion streams. She also has a record setting crowd at both gov ball and Lallapalooza and is considered the fastest meteoric rise of a pop start in modern history. No where close to a flop.
I don’t see her lasting long since she seems to absolutely despise being famous but you can’t call her music or career a flop.

Her last album didn't flop, it is literally her only studio album.
She hasn't come out with anything new since though.

You heard her last album flopped? The only one she’s put out that literally catapulted her to success? The question isn’t “what newer celebrity do you know nothing about?”

I think Chappell only ever wanted to be gay famous. I think she’ll go back to that level of fame and, as a gay, I’m looking forward to it haha

In the modern world with social media, today you're hot and tomorrow you're cold. Everything moves fast and the next trend or trendy artist is just one click away. We will see less and less generational talent and more one hit wonders.
