Most internet-era culture is disposable and will not endure as art.

Evidence

Much of the culture of the past twenty-five years was disposable and transitory. Early memes are already forgotten, and viral stars have faded into obscurity (or are picking up the pieces of their shattered lives). Once-popular influencers will spend their later years chasing attention like aging rock stars on the state fair circuit. — W. David Marx, Blank Space, 873

Categorization

  • CANDY: The ‘aging rock stars on the state fair circuit’ image for influencer decline is a light, shareable line.
  • QUESTION: Is this actually true, or is Marx measuring durability too early? 25 years is little distance for judging what endures — links to the reader’s ‘insufficient historical distance’ challenge.
