I don't recognize a lot of today's 'culture'. I think this is because I am old. My Mom keeps telling me that she doesn't know the world she lives in anymore. And she watches TV constantly! I haven't had a TV for about 24 years so I don't see commercials, I don't see shows that tell 'us' what's new and important, or who's new and important, and perhaps even why they are important. I haven't watched new movies in, ohh, about 20 years or so. I do spend a lot of time, obviously, online, and I do watch shows online. But... these aren't shows that would be on TV. I don't think. Do they have music reaction shows on TV? Driving through the Alps, and other places, videos? Compilations of weird, strange, and sometimes scary things from dash and other kinds of cameras? Or news shows like Breaking Points? I kinda doubt they do, but I don't know, I must confess.
Who? What? Hmmm... from here.
Who are the latest TV and movie stars? I haven't a clue. In fact, I think I'm about 2 generations of those behind in knowledge. And music stars? I do listen to a lot music that is new but it's generally by older artists, some from foreign countries, in many different genres. And what kind of music is popular now? Does it have a name, like Punk or New Wave or Folk or Psychedelic or whatever did? Maybe it has several names? Maybe it's just boring and not worth paying attention to? Certainly the TV and movie stars seem that way.
