Miley Cyrus.
Also Lolcats. But mostly Miley Cyrus.
Sure, they’re not going to care about Miley Cyrus. But they’re not going to be incredulous about her, any more than we’re incredulous about sexualized shenanigans of the scantily clad starlets and pop tarts of 1965. Like, remember that one singer who did that one thing that was so shocking and trivial that I have no idea why people cared? Wasn’t that so crazy and stupid that we’re still talking about it 50 years later? You don’t remember what I’m talking about? Me neither.
Stupid boring ephemera doesn’t get marveled over 50 years later, it gets forgotten. I mean, maybe people in 2065 will be talking about Miley Cyrus, but not if the only memorable thing she ever did was take off most of her clothes and shake her ass on TV that one time in 2014.
We remember Marilyn Monroe, whose greatest achievement was starring in a small number of forgettable movies. (Who can even name the movies she was in without running to Wikipedia or IMDB?)
But what I’m saying is this. Today a young woman becomes famous only if she takes her clothes off and does things on TV that would have been illegal a short while ago. Talent plays no part in it. Neither does beauty. (Marilyn Monroe was beautiful; Miley, hideous. (In my opinion.)) It’s a shared assumption that women should have no brains, no self-respect, no ambition beyond dancing on TV in very little clothing. That’s what I think they’ll be incredulous about. Of course I may be wrong, and it may just get worse for the next 50 years.
“Grandma, is it true you used to shit in water when you were a little girl?”
A)All About Eve, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Some Like It Hot and The Seven Year Itch. That was off the top of my head.
B)The hell are you talking about? Some women do, but ONLY, sorry, nope.
Your ignorance, and the apparent pride you take in it, is astounding.
I wonder what the people of 2065 will think of our current attitudes towards guns.
So if a woman gets naked, she has no talent? Or beauty? Helen Mirren is gonna be CHEESED when she hears that! So will Judi Dench! And Rue McLanahan! And … I could go on …
I am amused in advance at the utter crap people in 2065 will be dealing with.
Grandpa … you really had to spend most of your waking hours doing boring shit for an asshole to have a place to live and food to eat?
