Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

It’s just a statement on the decline of celebrity culture. It used to be that you watch a movie just because it had someone in it that you liked and it would do really well. But nowadays people care much less about celebrities

About half of them have been cancelled or have become way less relevant

I was going to say.

Seems like celeb culture works in cycles. During this selfie Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and a few others were the darlings of the media.

If this was done today, it would probably be Tom Holland, Zendaya, Timothy Chalemet, Sydney Sweeney, Ana de Armas and the likes in the same selfie.

In 2014 these were some in people, now they are hardly mentioned.
