As far as music goes it’s definitely easier to be blissfully ignorant now than it was in the age of MTV and broadcast radio. You get your curated stream of recommendations with no reason to highlight what doesn’t fit there.
I wouldn’t know of Grande had she not been hosting SNL. I don’t know who The Weekend are. I saw a post a while back about Drake’s security being dicks, and I thought Drake’s security was the name of a security company.
I’ll excel at 90’s music trivia if it was on MTV. But now I’m set in my ways and only listen to HYPR demoscene radio. I excel at that niche genre now, too.
The first thing I think of when I think “Ariana Grande” is her role as the castrati kid on SNL. I assume others knew her well before then, but it was that moment that made her famous in my eyes. She came off as hilarious and talented, and I assume others had seen that in her work elsewhere, too.
