WTF I love Kanye now and I still have no fucking idea who he ispic.twitter.com/M7WJWD1cuq
alright, you're not the first person to say this, but I'm still baffled. how can you know anything about pop culture but now know about Kanye West?
Short answer: I'm old. Slightly longer answer: I'm old, and have been largely detached from pop culture for decades.
What I know about Kanye: 1. He said something controversial after Katrina. Apparently he was already famous, but that was the first I'd heard of him. 2. He married Kim Kardashian, someone else I'd never heard of. I once looked her up and learned she was famous for being famous.
I became aware of Kanye a year ago when reading a book on the prog-rock scene of the 1970s and learning that his video / song "Power" includes a sample from a 1969 prog rock album I like. That's 95% of what I know about Kanye.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L53gjP-TtGE …
also, re " how can you know anything about pop culture but now know about Kanye West?" you're mid-20s @sonyaellenmann ?
As hard as it is to believe, almost everyone stops following pop culture around age 30.
You say "not me - I LOVE new music".
But...EVERYONE says that.
You get married. You have kids. You get dogs. You've gotta clean the gutters, take the car to the dealer, attend the PTA meetings, work on your book, check in on your parents who are getting older. ...and YOU'RE getting older. Surplus energy declines, heading towards zero.
Another thing is that it all becomes less *urgent*. You hear something, you think you might like to get to know it, but there's no hurry, it will still be there next year. The last album I rushed out to buy as soon as it came out was in 1998.
Rushing out to buy new releases makes less and less sense as your stack of untouched CDs, DVDs, books, etc. grows and grows.
