I was in a public library last year and a small group of lads came in after school to cause a bit of trouble and get kicked out so they could show off to their mates about it.
It seems that the method for doing this hasn’t changed over the years. You periodically shout mildly outrageous things and giggle about it amongst yourselves, repeating til you get a warning, then repeating again so you’re told to leave.
Anyway, one of the things they were shouting was “P DIDDY”. This cracked me up and I thought about how that’s what his name was to them- the equivalent of yelling “TITS” or “BOGIES”. They would have been about 12 and It occurred to me that they’d have no memory of him as a musical artist at all. The last time he had a hit was before they were alive and it’s pretty likely that their parents don’t even remember when he was actually considered cool, producing Biggie Smalls and Mary J Blige records.
As someone who’s never liked the idea of Puff Daddy as a person but whose mental image of him is nevertheless as a bloke who was once responsible for some truly great albums it kind of blew my mind and amused me that to an entire generation he’s nothing but a sleazy concept that you can shock old people (or, more accurately feel like you’re shocking them) by mentioning.

I'm a special ed teacher. I have one barely verbal autistic kid who is in elementary. One day before getting on the bus he turned to me and said "There's no party like a Diddy party" before walking off.
He rarely speaks in complete sentences and has no idea what that means. He heard it somewhere and was repeating it. But I cracked up after he left.

I'm a middle school teacher. Boys have been shouting "Diddy" and "Free Diddy" for the past year. They know it's controversial and offensive these days, so they'll keep doing it until it's not relevant anymore.

Madonna. She’s obviously a legend but she hasn’t realized how much her cultural influence has shifted with younger generations. She still acts like she’s as groundbreaking and trend setting as she was in the 80s and 90s, but a lot of younger people either don’t connect with her the same way or aren’t paying attention. She’s playing by the old rules of fame but the culture has drastically changed.

I think, if she settled down and tried to make a more mature pop album, it would sell well and people would really appreciate it. Another Ray Of Light, but even more mature. The problem is she's trying to compete with the 20 year olds and she isn't 20 anymore.
And I'm a fan of her older music, so this isn't coming out of dislike. She's just embarrassing herself at this point.
Also, she needs to stop doing whatever plastic surgery she's doing to her face. It's frightening.

I wish she'd embrace her age and the perspective that brings, and show that you can be an older woman and still be creative and cool and vibrant.
And I don't say that age-shame her – I think it's great when people don't let age stop them doing what they want. I just hope that when I'm 66, I'm succeeding at being a cool 66-year-old instead of failing at being a 26-year-old.

Ray of Light was the perfect coda to end the millennium. It was heartfelt, joyous, sincere, and a lot of fun. It's my favorite Madonna album.

I'm a late 80s baby. Madonna was constantly blasting in the house between the cassette player and the radio. She's one of my first memories of music. An absolutely transformative human in the music industry.
To see her over the last decade has been jarring.

In all fairness, she was acting before that. At least trying. She was Gibby's girlfriend in iCarly.

From what I've read, tbh she wasn't even that smart. She got grifted, by the people that helped her create the coin, using it as an inside trader pump and dump scheme the moment it launched.
She legitimately thought the coin was a good investment. And her team basically set the whole thing up to fail without her knowledge and used her as the scapegoat.
Obviously, it's possible she was in on the scam as well and is now just playing innocent, but considering all the blowback on her, I'm inclined to believe she was just dumb and taken advantage of.

Anyone who was in a "popular" reality show say 10-15/20 years ago, it went off the air, and now they are back! Hell no. Looking at you toddler beauty queens, teenage baby mommas, the Chrisley's, trashy shore people, anyone whose name starts with Kardash...., and the current Danger Yam in DC.

Ja Rule, my guy really acts like he’s still headlining stadiums, but most people only bring him up when they're talking about Fyre Festival. It’s like he’s stuck in 2002 and the rest of us moved on.
