We are living in the death of the true global superstar. Think about the era of Michael Jackson; there was a literal universal language of fame where everyone, regardless of age or location, knew the songs, the dance moves, and the sheer spectacle. Today, celebrity status feels incredibly diluted. You can have ten million followers on TikTok and still be completely invisible to half the population. Our culture has fragmented into these tiny, isolated niches. While it is great that more people have a platform, we have lost that sense of a shared cultural moment that someone like MJ provided. There is a deep nostalgia for a time when one person could actually capture the entire world’s attention simultaneously. We will never see that level of monoculture again, and the entertainment world feels smaller because of it. #culture #music #history https://thoxt.com/l/z7lIVS
