Suicideboys. They're huge with Gen Z as all their songs are about drugs and depression.

There's plenty of airports around the US that are named for someone that I wouldn't have a clue who they were without Google.

I doubt many outside the area (or those who traveled through) would know the airport name.

Well, thank you.
I'm sorry to tell you that you aren't from New Orleans in spite of being born there and you can't be famous because you're not well liked.

Current fame probably Hoda but overall yeah, Louie, Fats or even Harry Connick.

Not my favorite but Anne Rice is probably up there for famous and well known that she is from New Orleans since a lot of her novels are set there.

As a non-Louisianan I can tell you Louis Armstrong is the first name that comes to mind easily.

I would confidently say if you polled every single current New Orleanian who Louis Armstrong was less than 60% would get it right

That’s how fricking brain dead we are as a society
