  You went with Ariana Grande and The Weekend as your example?

  There’s a lot more famous people out there.

  At some point in your life, you didn’t know who any famous people were.

  Yes. And there’s also famous people you have never heard of.

  Of course.

  Not everyone consumers mainstream media.

  I hadn’t heard of the weekend until a couple of months ago and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

  I have heard of The Weekend. I have no idea who they are, what they’re famous for, what they look like, if they’re a person or a group, or anything about them. I also legitimately have no idea if you’re meant to pronounce the ‘e’ in Grande, people have told me, I just don’t care enough to remember.

  I’m sure my parents don’t know who either of them are.

  Ariana Grande or The Weekend

  Uhhh… the first one’s a pop singer I’ve still never heard a single song by, and the 2nd one’s how we spend our SAT & SUN’s?

  Heh, am I close?

  I know Ariana Grande and The Weekend are singers.

  But if you printed out 9 pictures of a vaguely hispanic woman singer, and 1 picture of her, I would have a 1 in 10 chance I point her out.

  Same thing with The Weekend.

  And I’m sure you could name 20 names, 10 of them famous people, 10 are random names from the phone book. I would have zero confidence in knowing rather than guessing, who the famous people are.
