True, but we're raised different. We had radios and MTV growing up, with their roll out of all kinds of music just in 1-2 hours slot of shows. The late gen Z don't have that, they mostly listen to what they wanted to on streaming app like Spotify or AM. They mostly don't know many artists until some old hits went viral on tiktok, or their fave artists mention them on a tweet or doing a collab with them..., or until the algorithm introduces them to.

I noticed this a lot with younger people. They only know current or celebrities from their time. They don’t know history. Not all but a lot.

Not surprised. I think that was the entire strategy for why she was there.

As a Gen Z myself I can say that only people who live under a rock and are out of touch with pop culture don’t know who Madonna is 

[tylerjs 6,050]

why is it surprising? I barely knew about Madonna as a kid and I was born in 1996. Literally could not have picked her out of a lineup until I was maybe like 12? If it wasn’t for her releasing that Justin Timberlake song in like 2008 or whatever it was I wouldn’t have really been aware of her at all until much later tbh

I wish I was that lucky  

Spoiler

Jk, she’s an incredible artist and an icon 

 

[Zombieboyyy 156]

GenZ person here who knows all her albums  

but yeah among my generation she's kinda forgotten

If you're gay and you don't know who Madonna is you need to get culturalized and open a damn ****ing book

Not surprising. I found out about Madonna when talking with my parents about Gaga 
To be fair I was pretty out of touch with pop culture, I also didn't know a ton of other famous singers. I had only heard Material Girl and Hung Up online before but that's it, nothing else
