In this talk, Anya Ekbote dissects the minute differences between these new influencers and your classic celebrities. She offers how these young and trendy influencers might impact the younger generations, therefore altering the conventional celebrity culture we’ve seen in years past Anya is a junior at USC High School. Like others, she is growing up in the prime era of social media. Kids and teens like Anya are evidently attached to their phones, spending most of their time scrolling through social media sites. From the perspective of a teenager, Anya expresses both information and concerns for how Influencers might affect the growth of both her own generation and the future youth. While prior generations looked up to celebrities in film and music, today’s youth primarily admire TH-cam and Instagram leaders. This recent shift can either be beneficial or detrimental, rising conversations for how this might affect our visions moving forward.
