Vanilla Ice is relevant to Gen Z?

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In the same way that Elvis is relevant to Gen X and David Bowie is relevant to Millennials.

Yea... There is no comparison between Elvis or Bowie vs. fucking Robert Van Winkle. XD

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

His era was before and he's still being talked about right now, I think that alone is proof.

He's an eternal VH1 "We ❤️ the 90s" one-hit-wonder, it's definitely not the same thing as the impact Elvis and Bowie made on music and culture more broadly.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online -3 points 1 week ago

No, of course not, but relevant all the same.

He wasn't really relevant in his own Era. Had one single and then was a joke.

Nah, he lives in Miami so he was cheap

Suge Knight took that shit in 92

I don't think there was any Gen-Z folks attending a Mar-a-Lago event unless they were staff. Surprisingly a lot of Gen Alpha folks because that's perfect breeding age for these Epstein fans.

No joke, the kids at my summer camp loved memorizing and performing ice ice baby.
