celeb news 1 in 3 Gen Zs are unfamiliar with The Beatles and Madonna, says survey

[sugarysunflower]

What kinda of whack ass poll is this? Who and where in the U.K. did they sample? 
 

• In the U.K. from Northumberland to Cornwall, Ed Sheeran is unfortunately plastered over the radio, over the TV, over publishing outlets, over billboard ads all over the country - he’s (embarrassingly) ubiquitous with music here
• The Beatles aren’t just taught in music: they’re a part of the history curriculum. Counterculture of the 60s, taught all the way from primary school to high school. 
   
• But I digress, Tik Tok grime and British Rap and cheap electropop dominates our music scene

gun to my head and I couldn't tell you **** about the Beatles either 

[OrgVisual]

It's a "is the glass half full or half empty" kind of situation. 70% is extremely high for The Beatles  Not like Billie or Olivia or Ariana would get higher than 90% either

[McNulty]

Never heard of Phil Collins or Elvis Costello. The rest at least I heard their names or just one song.

The way The Supremes are more known than Aretha Franklin despite disbanding 50 years ago. I wish Diana Ross was included in this survey too

Meanwhile LEGEND Tina STOMPING as usual.

Only 40% - 50% of 75 year olds have heard of Beyonce & Taylor?

That's not shocking at all though ? It actually seems pretty high 

[Chika]

Beyonce 3rd most known by old people and most known by Gen Z Global Queen of the UK wbk

- Over a third of the Gen Z said they wouldn’t listen to a song if it was released before they were born.

This is such a close-minded attitude

I only knew who Aretha Franklin is because of this forum. I had never heard of her before. Not even as Michael Jackson's sister.

33% of people not wanting to hear music before the year they were born is still a disgustingly high percentage even if it isn't the majority.

Good for them. Not being bombarded with celeb news.

[Plebhead8]

Surprising considering you’re not allowed to like any other band without some prune piping up to tell you how much better the Beatles are and how they wouldn’t exist without them

Anyway, why was MJ excluded? He would’ve probably gotten over 70%

[slw84]

All generations would know Britney for better or worse...no MJ???

[MadonnasBoyfriend]

OK atrl name change now pls

[Harry]

janet's % must be that low if she's not even in the list which is hardly suprising hehe

[Sugar-Rush]

This can't be right. ATRL told me that Madonna is a well-known legend.

[Dark Phoenix]

Madonna being the highest person/group alive in the list is nice, 62% of awareness is 2/3 and not bad it could’ve been worse tbh look at U2 or even Bowie or Prince, she stays relevant.

[@michael]

Crazy they were born with the whole word in their hands and are so ignorant

I was about to say, nothing has changed in the different gens opinions considering I was the same way in my late teens / early 20’s. I didn’t start getting into pre 90’s music until a few years ago.
