To think snobbery around the Kardashians is a bit pathetic?

[Notsuretoputit]

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?

No I think that's just normal life

I've heard of them, couldn't tell you much more. So what

The Kardashians are not worthy of any mention.

Thick as mince

Just normal life. I know they’re a reality TV family and that they’re of Armenian descent. That’s literally the sum total of what I know. Not everyone is that attuned to reality tv.

It appears from this thread they are a family I've not heard of either.

I've heard of them. That's as much as I want to know. I genuinely don't understand anyone giving enough of a shit about them to defend them on a public forum.

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 mean - I have heard of them but never seen the film they’re in. Why don’t feel the need to defend them, are you a mega fan?

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.

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.

Indeed! Stop with the ingenuity.

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.

Why not? It was asked why people are snobby? I answered why.

But coming on to comment on them is entirely understandable?

People can join any conversation they wish to

I live for them ❤️

And l am definitely not bitter or jealous. Definitely not. It’s just laughable.

Agree he most likely has heard of them I mean, it's hard not to really.

I 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 standards.

Yup I'm a judgey cow at times.

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

Same here. I know the Kardashien name, but that's as far as it goes.

As for Taylor Swift, I too have never knowingly heard any of her songs. They may have been played in my hearing, but I wouldn't know they were by her.

Like fuck have any of those women been the real driving force behind their "empires" and put in real hard work, blood sweat and tears. Nepo babies, every one of them.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
