The usual kulak/petty burshwá dipshit who "runs the family business" of leeching surplus value and sending some emails is usually proud of it, leave alone the shitstains with 4 surnames and zero heterozigous loci.

Same with PMCs in overpayed jobs, usually saying "yeah I got this job thanks to my uncle/frat top"

But then mediocre overvalued "artists" piss and moan about their daddy owning Sony not being a big deal in their astroturfed careers.

Why? Some people do end up actually liking their music, so who cares if they didn't have to audition a million times and waste their own few money playing virtually for free in shitty bars?

    "Artists" today, perhaps more than at any other time in history, are extremely image conscience. You have to be. Its almost impossible to be working in any sort of artistic field without some kind of social media presence. Audiences are sophisticated enough to understand that who you are on camera isn't who you are off camera logically but we're human beings so its impossible to detach the two emotionally. I often think that actors especially play a character as much in interviews as they do on the movie screen. Nobody wants their image to be "nepo baby" even if its true...because as an artist your image is your brand.

    Also: on a personal note I'm sure its frustrating for them because a lot of them probably do put in a lot of work on their craft. Nepotism can get you a long way but I imagine even with those legs up it still takes a lot of work to have a successful career. The shapiro siblings also had a classical arts backround and they are both cringe-worthy to watch perform.
