"Lauren is one of the prominent young Americans who have tasted success and high popularity right from her teens owing to the online social media platforms. She has made a strong foothold in the online world at an early age. Her first public comment came out on Twitter, in the month of October, 2012. The tweet read "@justinbieber I <3 u." However, it was not certainly what earned her fame. Lauren was always interested about the online platform from a young age but she just was not sure about the right approach.

"When musical.ly was launched in 2014, she found the right medium to reach out to the people. She, slowly but steadily, started working on her Musical.ly feeds and with her unique work carved out a particular niche for herself. Many of the challenges performed by her, like #JuJuOnTheBeat & #UNameItChallenge have gone viral making her a popular internet celebrity. On her Musical.ly account, she has over 3.5 million fans and the numbers are adding up every week. She has received more than 250 million hearts so far, which is a record in itself. She enjoys over 210,000 followers on her Instagram account."

no one will object if I start collecting social security now, right

This was a helpful piece, really

here's another good one on the 9 year old in particular

apparently woah vicky was arrested at the four seasons mall in greensboro, aka the mall I have been to hundreds of times

Bhad Bhabie must be kicking herself for not having the presence of mind to drop a new catchphrase while the cameras were on her

it's funny how in a little over a year the narrative around her has swung from "this girl is super fucked up and will be dead or in jail by the time she's 20" to "she may be a little rough around the edges, but she's a surprisingly decent rapper, and she's more intelligent than you might expect"

(having read that Jezebel piece, I'm ashamed to admit that I know exactly what a "beef with YouTuber RiceGum" entails)

Tana Mongeau

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvGur0cF414

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02B7U9DAnz8

Like traditional celebs, famous YouTubers, like Tana Mongeau aren’t immune to being accused of doing problematic things—in this case, allegedly filming the body of a person who died of overdose.

Though Mongeau’s erroneous decision to film the deceased person predates Logan Paul’s infamous controversy, fellow YouTubers unearthed these accusations only recently. YouTuber iNabber was one of the first people to reveal Mongeau’s video from October 2017.

In iNabber’s video, he dissects Mongeau’s now-deleted vlog, entitled “FOUND A DEAD OVERDOSED MAN (LIVE FOOTAGE): STORYTIME.” While the title alone seems like it could prove that Mongeau exploited a deceased man for views, she could’ve easily used the title as clickbait. Unfortunately, iNabber shows the full-length of Mongeau’s video (at the 1:45 mark), and the contents are disturbing.

At the 4:29 mark of iNabber’s coverage, he highlights the recovered footage where Mongeau allegedly filmed the body of a deceased man. While iNabber censors this sensitive material, he claims that Mongeau didn’t blur out the body in her OG vlog. “I personally had to censor that because Tana didn’t censor the body,” iNabber explains. After Mongeau allegedly recorded the dead body, she spent the remainder of her video focusing on herself and how finding a deceased person put a damper on her day. Shortly after Mongeau also allegedly filmed the deceased man’s friend (who was just informed of his death), Mongeau says, “This would only happen to us. Only we would wanna have a nice beach day and then have to like save a dead guy.”

Pop singer who released her hit single "Drama" in July 2017 on JJJ. She joined the cast of the popular web series Chicken Girls as Rooney in 2017. Her first on screen performance was in the 2015 short Crafty: Or (The Unexpected Virtue of the Girl in Charge of Snacks).

She started modelling after she got rejected by a few acting auditions due to her height. Her first runway casting was for LA Fashion Week when she was 13.

She has 410,000 followers on her indianamassara Instagram account.

^actually a pretty good song, but if you've gone from producing some of the hottest techno bangers of 1992 to penning album tracks for Britney to producing songs for instagram stars, then you have some explaining to do

Chicken Girls = a vehicle for LA stage kids (90% of this thread) to gain clout by associating with slightly more famous LA stage kids. pretty sure most of these people are aspiring singers, but I won't flood this thread with examples

Pinterest, BuzzFeed, blogs, y'all better take a seat
'Cause DIY YouTubers, yeah, you know we bring the heat
It's old? You've seen it? It's unoriginal?

He collaborated with rapper MC Kevinho on the song "Sem Romance."

I spent a few minutes trying to puzzle out the connection btwn Martin Luther King Jr. and douchebags in rollies gazing at butts, but apparently it has nothing to do with him:

Moleque Zica is a young man, in the range of 14 to 25, who has his own style of being. Take off, dress up extravagant, flamboyant, or do something very well like: Rake a bike, skate well, dance well, sing well, spray a tall building ...

Moleque Top, buck, cool, lucky, smart, carried, smart, sagacious, alive, Machiavellian. The one who gets well at the last minute, everything he does always takes advantage, drop a kite and cut everyone, there comes a car sound in the heights, it's Zika listening to funk, gets along with women, college does not study and take ten, form CBT group in the last semester and if it's okay, it's pissing at the friend's foot in the bathroom of the school, it's missing the important job is after taking good note, it's missing important class is to arrive the other day understanding the which the teacher is talking about, is to grade the bike or motorcycle. To have a Ford Ka lowered to the last is to get on your street with the sound you can hear three blocks away. Being Zika is to escape in the police even without having to do anything, is to be in the right place at the right time to be Zika is to fill the group of Porn watssap until locking the cell of the friends.

"This kid is really stupid, not that he was able to graduate in college without a group of CBT in the four years elapsed. He left it at the last minute, went there and passed."

2020 was the year Travis Barker teamed up with a 19-year-old TikTok star to prove to the world that rock ain't dead:

Today, singer-songwriter jxdn (Jaden Hossler) debuts his new single “Angels & Demons” via DTA Records. The intoxicating track showcases his dynamic vocals over Barker’s signature production and drums. The music video, directed by Ari Nissenbaum, gives a visual component that reflects the duality of the song’s lyrics, which were co-written by jxdn alongside Barker, McKay Stevens and Keith Varnon. WATCH HERE.

jxdn is the first artist to sign with Travis Barker’s imprint, DTA Records, a worldwide joint venture with Elektra Music Group. jxdn is the first artist to sign with Travis Barker’s imprint, DTA Records, a worldwide joint venture with Elektra Music Group. jxdn (pronounced jay-den) is represented by manager Larry Rudolph at Maverick Management and digital production firm TalentX Entertainment, whose music department is helmed by Gavin Rudolph.

“I’m bringing rock back!!! You’re gonna hear it with a lot of music/artists I’m producing and signing to my label,” Barker says. “jxdn is an artist I’m really excited about and is the future of DTA RECORDS!”

“I just wanted to change the world with my music. No better person to do that with than Travis,” jxdn says of the new music and signing.

“Angels & Demons” follows the 19-year-old’s self-released debut single “Comatose” which has found rapid success since its February release. “Comatose” has currently peaked at No. 27 on Billboard’s Hot Rock Chart, has amassed more than 20 million streams across platforms and reached 35+ global viral charts to date.
