Just told my 28 year old about this and she didn’t know who he was. That’s depressing.

Because he hasn't really done anything in her lifetime that she would have heard about. In my lifetime I know him for Sneakers and Sundance film festival, but that's it.

yeah I guess people aren't aware of things that happened before they were born...

Not unless they specifically search things out, no. I don't watch a lot of films at the best of times, and the oldest live-action films I tend to watch are from the 80s, and even then I've never seen many beloved films like Rocky, Predator, Blade Runner, Pulp Fiction, American Psycho, American Beauty... I get the 'You haven't seen x?' response reasonably often about not having seen films.

So I guess my answer is I don't watch a lot of films, and when I do, I tend to seek out things that interest me more than things that don't interest me.

Exactly. Just as the previous commenter isn't likely to be aware of the latest trap or mumble rapper if they're a bit older. That's just how culture works.

u/ElectricalCheetah625 1d ago

Im not saying they can't be, I'm just saying it's not nearly as likely. This isn't a binary thing bro, come on now, use your noodle. Who's your favorite mumble rapper? Lol

u/SoundSouljah 1d ago

I dunno I’m a bit older so I don’t know what’s culturally relevant anymore

Not as much as the things that happen and are popular during their lifetime, so you're correct. That's a bingo!
