How Young Can You Be...

I've heard of him. I'm 22.

21 here, so lowering that number by a bit.

I have my 17 year old brother sitting next to me and he says he doesn't know.

Prediction confirmed B-)

Ricky Martin? Never heard of him before. But then I stopped listening to pop music before Ricky Martin was born.

So you should also ask how old can you be?

Interesting, vorpal! I feel like I've heard of most singers/pop culture people, regardless of whether I'm familiar with their work. Kind of like how I know the Kardashians are famous, but couldn't tell you what they do. Thank you, internet.

I wonder if the age range of people aware of any given current thing skews lower because of technology/media.

Also, you guys are my heroes. Thanks for your input.

I don't think anyone knows why the Kardashians are famous.

Also, as far as too old to know Ricky Martin, my mother knows who he is, and is probably about the same age as Vorpal. She is Mexican though, and has a vested interest in knowing those sorts of things (also because she taught Spanish.)

I know vaguely of this Ricky Martin guy, and I'm 19. It was a familiar name, and I can probably sing most if not all of Livin' La Vida Loca. Am I the youngest? Do I win?
