This clip was created by a popular Viner named Brandon Calvillo who represents the extreme behavior of people believing that
if celebrities retweet or favorite their tweets then their life will be
complete. It shows both of them going to extreme measures waiting for their man
crush Harry Styles to notice them.
Which as a society we have never been able to feel so close/connected with our celebrity crushes before. We were able to read up on them in magazines but
even then once writers get the article written and published that information will
already be out of date. But now in this generation we have power to know what
is going on with their lives within seconds.
The Vine is a great example of what my group is talking
about in our presentation. It
touches base on how people try to connect with famous people through social
media. Which being able to be this
connected touches on the fact of parasocial relationships. A lot of people
defend their celebrity crushes or idols as if they were their best friends. And
in doing so they tweet at them and in hoping to get a response back from them.
It doesn't even phase people
anymore on how invested they get into a celebrity’s life because since it is
out their then why not? If they are posting this kind of information on the
internet then of course there will be who knows Beyonce best arguments. And those type of arguments are completely
normal. I know I catch myself talking to my friends about certain celebrities
like I know their whole life story and want the best for them as if they were
my own flesh and blood.
