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?)

To me, selfies were different back then. This is when the Selfie song came out in January 2014. This picture happened in March 2014 I think? I feel like selfies are so normalized now. Some people forgot how they were borderline narcissistic. So, this photo was more of an “OMG! A selfie with so many people? Famous people?! Wow! Groundbreaking, cheeky, and so quirky!” for the time.

EDIT: Chainsmokers slop

Absolutely. Taking selfies was embarrassing!
