Can be from fandoms, local acquaintances, niche community forums, social media bubbles, whatever. What’s a big to-do going on that you just don’t care about?

    Sports and Celebrities.

    There is no more crass commerce than Sports. Rich people buy sport clubs, and then buy victories for them. You can’t get more boring than that.

    Once there were real Celebrities. People who were something noticable. Today, they are mass-produced by the media, and most of them are not even worth remembering.

        People like Michael Jackson or Tina Turner come to mind. Or Roger Moore or Marilyn Monroe.

        Rather a contrast to people considered “Celebrities” today, just because they took part in a synthetic cast-together band or a “reality TV” show.
