Maybe so, but LNCHBOX stating that most 25 year olds don't know who PM is is borderline hilarious. I won't say that PM is more popular than Kanye to people under 25, and I don't think many others would either. But PM is literally one of the most famous people on the planet, and has been for 50 years. Just because younger people may not be able to list the Beatles anthology doesn't mean they don't know who PM is.


I really think you'd be surprised. I imagine most people going "yea, I know him," then not being able to name a single thing he's done outside of that guy from the Beatles.

I don't mean literally never heard of the name. That would be asinine.

Well considering that's his exact claim to fame you're really circling the wagons around your argument

So should people not know who Eisenhower is simply because he hasn't done anything since 1960 either that people would know?

No, I'm not arguing that PM should be an equal standard to Eisenhower, but I'm illustrating that your peak often keeps you relevant forever even if it was a while ago.

Well then they know him. So what are we arguing about?

Well, this is what you originally said:

I'm willing to bet most people under 25 have no idea who he is.

Knowing his name/who he is isn't the same thing as what you were contending earlier.

So either you've changed your mind or you admit that you were trolling (which we know is the case anyway).
