We are the fame generation, weaned on reality TV and competitions where the goal is to get through to the next round and the next and the next and where being famous/popular/gaining ‘likes’ is currency.
I agree but I don't. 15 minutes of fame and stars.in their eyes culture isn't new. What's new is the directness of social media fame. It's not you and a manager, it's just you. No apprenticeships to craft yourself. And everyone apparently has the same playing field, so why are they famous and you aren't?
