>>102328308>leaving aside that despacito literally, unironically was one of the most culturally impactful media released this millenium objectively...... aha... AHAHA... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Despacito had NO impact on the culture. It was generic, fungible radio slop that normalfags heard as background noise while they did the same exact shit they always fucking do.
By contrast, the original "ok boomer" meme - as entrenched by Senzawa's song and also the Bernie broad who did that lip-synced dance and made millions of simps crash out when she announced she had a boyfriend - set the tone for a major theme in modern western political discourse, namely the generational conflict between boomers and millennials/zoomers. THAT is cultural influence, and "ok boomer" had it while despacito didn't.
This is objectively true, and is perfectly illustrative of why excel-brained "line go up mean world more gooder" numberfaggotry is a complete meme. Gura had cultural influence *and* numbers, and the former was not directly contingent upon the latter. Literally just open your eyes and look at the actual physical reality around you instead of the pale reflection you get from simplified hyper-abstracted metrics, and maybe you wouldn't say something so hilariously fucking stupid and proveably false.
