A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

Vanilla Ice is relevant to Gen Z?

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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 3 months ago

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

[–] jack_of_sandwich@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] hateisreality@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.
