Going back to the original post: 1. Clickbait is driven by anger, outrage, and ginned up controversy. Any lazy journalist can produce a quick article by picking something that happened in pop culture, scrape social media for outraged reactions, and then collect and publish them. I expect to see many more of these articles in the future.
2. For those of us whose minds are trivia troves, there comes a time when things we took as universal become niche. To younger people Led Zeppelin music comes from classic rock radio or specialized playlists. It’s entirely possible to attain adulthood and never have heard of them or their albums.
