pop culture

Instagram has glowed TF up in the last decade, and so have its influencers. It seems like everywhere you turn on the social media app, an influencer is trying to sell you an unheard-of plant-based moisturizer that will allegedly make your skin shine, or promoting that infamous purple vibrator whilst urging you to use their discount code. Naturally, Twitter can't help but make fun of how influencers have established themselves into internet celebs that we should actually listen to. Scroll down for the best tweets making fun of Instagram influencers - or wishing that they were pulling in all the money that influencers supposedly make via their accounts. 

Lil Nas X's new single, 'MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name),' might be described as possessing a 'Satanic theme.' If you haven't already seen it (though I'd be surprised if that's the case considering it already has racked up 30,000,000 views), well, I can help you understand why there is so much chatter surrounding its content.

The young artist spends most of the video pole dancing in Hell and grinding on Satan's lap... Yeah.

The video itself received very mixed reviews from the get-go, but now most of the discussion is based around Lil Nas X's 'Satan Shoes' — or more specifically, a limited-edition pair of Nike Air Max 97s that contains a drop of real human blood (along with 60 CCs of red ink) in the soles.

In honor of the 15th anniversary of Hannah Montana, Hannah herself, now verified on Twitter, posted a photo of a letter she wrote to none other than Jake Ryan. Twitter is shocked, to say the least. For a little background, Hannah/Miley date Jake Ryan in the show but they didn't end up together. She really ends up with Jesse, who she literally chose over Jake Ryan after a very dramatic episode, 'He Could Be The One.' (If you know, you know). Fans are also angry with Hannah because she and Jake didn't just break up, he cheated on her!

Here is the hilarious backlash 'Hannah' is receiving from Twitter. They did not hold back.

Okay, I sincerely apologize if this makes you feel old but it has in fact been 15 years since the original episode of Hannah Montana aired on Disney Channel. I can barely believe it either. So much about the show was iconic, I don't even know where to begin. We all wanted to dye our hair blonde and get bangs. We all tried to convince our friends that we were also living a double life. We all didn't understand how Robbie Ray Stewart got away with hiding his celeb status by wearing no other disguise other than a mustache, but we let him do it anyway. A true icon as well.

#HannahMontana was rightfully trending on Twitter, and people celebrated the anniversary by bringing us back to some of the most hilarious moments. Oh, she also just got verified, it only took 15 years!

In case you see this Hannah, I love you.

America likes to think that their culture is superior and nothing that they do is weird at all. They expect that everybody looks up to them from other countries and that they are basically the best in every way shape and form. As an American, I don't think I'm very qualified to be the one to burst this bubble, so I'll let Redditors do it for me.

People on Reddit are sharing the weird things that Americans do that they initially thought were just silly stereotypes from films and such, but are actually very true. Some of these cultural norms are less flattering than others.

When it comes to Twitter, the thirst is real on a daily basis. The Cheezcake ladies are so here for these thirst tweets, and have decided to celebrate a hot celeb trending on Twitter, in honor of Thirsty Thursday. it's our duty to the public, after all. This week, the Twitter sphere is totally drooling over Harry Styles, who is in the spotlight for his recent Grammy win. His fans are definitely not holding back in these tweets. They're head over heels for him, and they want him to know. Scroll down for the funniest tweets thirsting over Harry Styles this week. 

This Grammys was definitely one to remember. Even before the show, people were talking about it because of the several historic nominees they announced. One included the first Black woman nominated for a solo performance in a country category: Mickey Guyton. There was also an all-female lineup of artists in the Best Rock Performance category. Grammys 2021 really said, "WOMEN!"

Altogether it's been a bizarre and untraditional award season. A lot has changed, but regardless of what else is going on in the world, we will always have fire memes and tweets to count on.

The Framing Britney Spears documentary has taken over the world recently. Personally, I don't know anyone who didn't STAN her before but the film sure solidified how iconic she is. The Free Britney movement took off this summer. In the beginning, it seemed it might all be a conspiracy. But to the worlds' surprise, it was true! Now there is one goal that we all hold, y'all better get our QUEEN out of this conservatorship!

I don't know about you, but whenever I hear that a TV couple dated in real life, it changes the entire watching experience for me. The kisses aren't just 'on-screen' kisses. Their fights feel more real. Don't even get me started on the cheating scandals. Suddenly their TV relationship carries ten times more weight, and they will be ruthlessly shipped both on and off-screen until the viewers see wedding bells.

This is our relationship too now, sorry to be the one to break it to you.

Let's take a look back at some of the most iconic figures that shaped '90s pop culture. From Brittany and Justin, to the Spice Girls, to Mary Kate and Ashley and everything in between, it was a decade that gave us some truly big names that shaped pop culture into what it is today. Check out these pictures taken from Instagram account @babemania, which is a tribute to these great icons, which makes us miss them and the simpler times they came with.
