Like are there people in the world who don’t know who Ariana Grande or The Weekend are?
Does the Pope count?
Because I’m aware there is a pope, but if he wasn’t in his robe he could be right beside me and I wouldnt know him
Yes? It all really depends on the media you consume. Like, I love death metal and some of the most famous death metal bands everyone should know, like Deicide, Dying Fetus or Devourment are still not common knowledge to people that don’t care about metal.

Ariana Grande or The Weekend are?
welp, that’s me I have no idea who either of those are. I am going to speculate musicians ?
As far as music goes it’s definitely easier to be blissfully ignorant now than it was in the age of MTV and broadcast radio. You get your curated stream of recommendations with no reason to highlight what doesn’t fit there.
I wouldn’t know of Grande had she not been hosting SNL. I don’t know who The Weekend are. I saw a post a while back about Drake’s security being dicks, and I thought Drake’s security was the name of a security company.
I’ll excel at 90’s music trivia if it was on MTV. But now I’m set in my ways and only listen to HYPR demoscene radio. I excel at that niche genre now, too.
The first thing I think of when I think “Ariana Grande” is her role as the castrati kid on SNL. I assume others knew her well before then, but it was that moment that made her famous in my eyes. She came off as hilarious and talented, and I assume others had seen that in her work elsewhere, too.
Very, I am completely clueless when people ramble on about celebrities.
Take a few seconds to think about how information works and you’ll have your answer.

Have you heard of that hostile tribe that lives on an island in the Pacific Ocean or wherever, isolated from the rest of the world? They probably don’t know.
My grandma probably doesn’t know. Most roselle people from other countries than America probably don’t know who they are. They know about the celebrities from their time, when they were young.
I feel like you must be very young and/or naive to ask this question, if it is indeed a genuine question. 😐
I didn’t know who zendaya was until Dune. I heard the name, never saw the face until dune. Apparently she was a super big name by then? Idk I’ve heard she’s in a lot of things but most of them I’ve never heard of or never cared to watch.
It really just depends on how they’re famous and what media people consume.
I’m absolutely positive there are dozens of artists of one type or another that I have never heard of that would make people do a double take and ask me what rock I’ve been living under.
Sometimes I feel like that Daniel Thrasher sketch where hoodie guy doesn’t know who Lil’ Pregnant is.
I don’t know who a lot of celebrities are. Ariana Grande I know, but Gary Sinese? No clue what that dude is famous for or what he looks like.
Who the hell is “the weekend”? Isn’t Adriana Grande the one with the eating disorder in the movie with that weird black chick?
I barely know who Ariana Grande is and know none of her songs by name. I’m just not interested in that kind of music and wouldn’t it be for the radio that’s always on in my office I don’t think I’d even know The Weeknd, although I guess his songs are prolific enough that most people have at least heard one by now.
Obviously lmao
It is impossible. Everyone has free access to the List of All Famous People and took celebrity class in school. Every single person on the planet is aware of and interested in every famous person.
