This guy Derek Thompson wrote a book about this and was on Fresh Air a couple weeks ago.

This has definitely inspired me to pull up a few Lizzo albums to listen to. 😅

Thanks for the chuckle. I recommend “Would I Lie To You” and other playful UK game shows to keep you British culture relevant!

I've never heard of Lizzo either.

You soon will be entering a new social media reality. ;)

Look, I understand because I'm also an old man who finds comfort in the music I listened to in my 20's and 30's, but the woman's won more than 10 Grammy awards so take it as a compliment.

Tremendous singer and astonishingly talented musician.

My retired, octogenarian, classical music-loving dad has heard of Drake! You have no excuse to have not heard of Lizzo

davidho.bsky.social•2 days ago

I have now been educated about Lizzo and the flute.

oh, thought she was a rapper.

bookclubdropout.bsky.social•2 days ago

Such is the greatness of Lizzo, she’s both (she’s an R&B singer, but also raps on some tracks).

"They will receive a quantity of information without proper instruction, and in consequence be thought very knowledgeable when they are for the most part quite ignorant. And because they are filled with the conceit of wisdom instead of real wisdom they will be a burden to society."
