Page 10 | To think snobbery around the Kardashians is a bit pathetic?

Notsuretoputit · 2024-04-07T12:37:09+00:00

Just doing a rewatch of the series and was discussing it with a colleague. Sure enough another colleague pipes up with ‘I’ve never heard of them, don’t know who they are’. He does know who they are. Whenever they’re mentioned someone always pretends not to know who they are or pretends to never have heard of them. Clearly they think it makes them hugely intelligent and superior. AIBU to think this is annoying and if you don’t want to discuss a subject don’t join in the conversation?

Then why do thy join conversations just to gleefully say they’ve never heard of them (when they have)? Just don’t join the conversation and interrupt people discussing something who are interested by telling them how uninterested they are.

To be fair OP it's not as if you have started a thread just to discuss them you asked the question of how likely is it that people haven't heard of them/know much of them and others have responded to concur with your work chap

…yes, and I’m asking why the work chap needs to join the conversation to explain he’d never heard of them, which he has.

I've never watched the show but I know who all of them are and their offspring just from other media sources. Vacuous indeed. They are just wealthy grasping social climbers who've done a good job of it.

It’s just that people live life in their own world and maybe their life (like mine) doesn’t include reality tv and pop music. I have heard of the kardashians and taylor swift just from the odd headline on a newspaper but as that wouldn’t be a story I am interested in that is as far as my knowledge goes.

I think it's unfair to lump Taylor swift in with that lot. she does have an actual talent tbf ( and I wouldn't class myself as a fan by any means)

But coming on to comment on them is entirely understandable?

Show quote history

Ah I see. Sorry then. You should have made clear that only those in complete agreement at your fawning over a bunch of narcissistic grifters should post. Noted.
It is also entirely possible to be a successful scam artist whilst being thick as mince. QED.

ChanelNo19EDT · 07/04/2024 13:56

I dont think they're thick. They know who they appeal to, they know they want to present/reveal/hold back. Their shows are well edited. If you're interested in people then they're no less interesting to other "normal" people. I'm not going to die defending them but they have a brand that they've marketed. I wouldnt call them thick! Shallow? Maybe but thick, hmmm.

Show quote history

Comparing the Kardashians and Marylin😂😂

Just no contest. Marylin married Arthur Miller. Kardashian’s married Ye. What a tossed he is!

ThirtyThrillionThreeTrees · 07/04/2024 13:55

I have heard of them.

Kim & Kourtney are two.
The other 2 also begin with K.

Kim had a sex tape and also dated Kayne West for a while. They had a child which was named North West.

Father did the OJ trail and there was a reality TV show.

That is everything I know. I have zero interest and only know the above as it was impossible to avoid.

GanninHyem · 07/04/2024 13:55

You live for a bunch of self entitled, narcs who would literally push you into dog shit and walk on your back for the chance of a paparazzi photo or a few dollars. Pathetic.

however am a total snob when it comes to people like the Kardashian's. Vacuous, zero talent and they are making millions by changing their faces every year and making our young girls believe that by buying their average products they too, can achieve such unrealistic beauty standard

Vacuous is the word. It was OK to wreck a vintage Marylin Monroe dress.

Who was the driving force then?

They are many things but thick they are not. They are incredibly savvy. You don't get where they have got without a lot of smarts

They may be savvy. Bit still embarrassing.

DanielGault · 07/04/2024 13:52

Notsuretoputit · 07/04/2024 13:44

Why join a conversation about them then?

They are not thick as mince. It sounds so jealous and bitter when people speak about women who’ve launched such a cultural and financial empire like that.

Why start a conversation about them if you don't want have a conversation about them?

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 07/04/2024 13:52

Notsuretoputit · 07/04/2024 13:49

Then why do thy join conversations just to gleefully say they’ve never heard of them (when they have)? Just don’t join the conversation and interrupt people discussing something who are interested by telling them how uninterested they are.

Show quote history

But hearing people talking about them seriously just makes listeners squirm. Like they are a serious subject😂

If you’re having a conversation about them why can’t someone join in with their point of view? I mean an exclusive Kardashian conversation is exciting as watching paint dry.

The Kardashians are not worthy of any mention.

Grips my shit 🤣 and not even just with the kardashians, with anyone famous eg Taylor Swift.

'I've never heard of her' 'who is that?' 'Never heard any of her songs'

Be real 🤣

I’ve heard of her but I couldn’t tell you what any of her songs were. I’m not making it up or trying be better than those who do.

WaltzingWaters · 07/04/2024 13:51

I’ve heard of them of course. Never watched their show (can’t stand that kind of thing), so about all I know about them is they’re super rich and have lots of K names.

People can join any conversation they wish to

Bit rude though, isn’t it?

If two people were discussing their stamp collection I wouldn’t interrupt to explain I’d never heard of a stamp.

I don’t know a single Taylor Swift song. I’m sure lots of people don’t either. Some of us a very different music taste to that.

everythinglooksbetterpaintedblack · 07/04/2024 13:50

The Kardashian's are master manipulators of young girls.
They make there money by selling their shit to impressionable young people by making them feel shit about themselves.
They are very clever at their craft and everything that's wrong with body image and worth in today's society

fieldsofbutterflies · 07/04/2024 13:49

I know plenty of people who genuinely wouldn't have a clue who the Kardashians are.

They may have heard the name but they wouldn't know anymore than that.

Purplebunnie · 07/04/2024 13:49

PlasticOno · 07/04/2024 13:45

Again, I know she’s a singer, and I’d probably recognise her in a photo, but I honestly couldn’t name one of her songs, and if I’ve heard them, as is perfectly possible, I didn’t know they were hers.

Ditto don't know any of her songs. Am aware of the Kardashians but that's all

I heard of the name and I know one is called Kim. I know there are lots of them and they have a link to OJ Simpson and have a sex tape but I wouldn’t recognise them. I don’t really watch any tv or spend time on celebrity sites/magazines.

I don’t think it’s snobbery; it’s just people like different things and often have little knowledge or interest in certain areas.
