How did our culture become so celebrity obsessed?

It's gotten out out of hand. Do you see all the gossip magazines that are on the stands? All the gossip websites...VH1 used to be a music channel, now they show videos at 2 in the morning and the rest of the time it's a celebrity worshipping channel. I mean, who the hell cares what Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan are up to in their private time?


Answer
celebrities are evolving into the American monarchy.

Did people not criticize celebrities much until roughly 2002?







I think over recent years we've started hating on celebrities more than we used to. I'm not sure though because I'm not very old. Did we chirp celebs all the time like we kind of do now back in say, 1995? I know Madonna did all kinds of crazy stuff in the 80s, but I wonder if people saw her like we see Lindsay Lohan now? But the bad press of celebrities tends to be forgotten over time, so maybe that's why.


Answer
There has been bad press and celebrity criticizing and gossip since the 1920's silent film stars

It's nothing new at all - it's just that media communication is more easily available and widespread so rumors get started and spread more quickly
