It's just like when somebody massively famous is mentioned here and a bunch of posters chime in "Never heard of them" as if that's something to be proud of. Obviously, the more famous somebody is (i.e., Sidney Sweeney), the greater the self-own of what is actually a pretty petulant move, "I don't know who that is, harrumph!" I suppose this is fine enough for internet posters who stopped paying attention to culture in 1978, but being out of touch is not a selling point when you're doing cultural criticism.


thank you!!
