yes it sure is ... but they're growing up with it - they don't know any different world so social media is the norm for them - rather than some new thing that we've seen come about and explode in the last decade ... they use it to their benefit but it can also be their downfall ... they are a lot more savvy with it ... its their reality ... celebrities are not the only ones to feel the weight of it ...

its just a generational change

think of the generations before ... news exchanged by word of mouth or passed on by letter ... then newspapers ... then radio ... then television ... each successive generation has had a different challenge in the way we communicate ... the older generations always looking at the new a little warily at first but coming round to accept it whilst those that grew up with it just accept it as the norm and move forward ..

its not like anyone can escape social media and the impact it has ... we can stick our head in the sand and say "i dont use it" "i dont have one" "i dont want one" but it doesn't mean in some shape or another it doesn't have an affect on our lives

I swear if you don't remove that soapbox you're going to regret it tonight ... not sure what's gotten into me tonight!!! lol


(sorry everyone!!)

It's absolutely generational change. I agree with you there.
But can you see that this particular generational change places (oh crap mind blank. What's he word when the number grows more each time?!?) anyway... A whole lot more pressure to be scrutinized for every little action.

For all we know the stars of yesteryear got up to just as much shit if not more, it just wasn't reported.

Eta: to clarify, what I am saying is that just because it's the norm doesn't mean there is equal emotional pressure

I don't know! It's little and cute and all, but I just find the whole idea of it somehow off-putting. It's the Bieber of vegetables.

And yep, that's me :). I'm a proud belieber. I'm not saying he isn't being a twat at the moment. But watching that movie made me realise how talented he is and also gave me some perspective of the massive pressure on him

I swear some of you are so knowledgable, prufrock, especially you, with some of your conversations that I sometimes feel intimidated. Not in a bad way, just want to state that, but I feel like I should watch more documentaries and read more and pay attention to the news much more than I do. I find myself researching some of the things you guys bring up so it is a good thing. But geez, I've realised i don't know a lot of things lol.

definitely see your point ... they weren't nearly as closely scrutinised but they wouldn't have been forgiven their transgressions as easily either .... and would have been held to higher standards ...

i guess when it comes down to it - its a different world and i shouldn't compare one to the other ... however I think a comparison with the likes of Timberlake is a decent one ...

Exponentially.

And they absolutely did. Stories about Tom Jones, Jagger... Make Beiber's hair curl.
 
Can someone please help me. I have end of the term/year brain. What the heck is that word when the number or result or whatever is disproportionately higher with each increment?

Oh for the love of bieber! Thank you. My brain has turned to mush.

It was probably mushed after the screams of the beliebers at the concert last week :p

Brilliant! The only thing that could make this better would be a photo of Beiber dressed as a cob of corn. Potentially posing in a corn field.

you're very lucky LoveBB came to your rescue - otherwise you might have been doomed to having a Eureka moment at 3am and noone would have been around to care! lol

and once again agree with your point about Timberlake sneaking in beforehand ...
 
can I just ask ... what is with this Get Around It .. I hadn't heard it before Ed said it .. then suddenly I'm hearing others say it (Heidi for one) ...

is it an ED thing and others are mimicking him?

or am I just totally devoid of "with-it-ness" lol
