You know come to think of it I think these are pretty pointless terms to begin with.

Aw your so cute when your angry

But it is something that they have to that makes them stay in our memory. There has to be some cultural or groundbreaking association that comes apart of pop culture.

It is not just them being in the public eye alone.

Most of the acts that are popular now will just be popular in THIS moment but 50 years from now...probably not.

Decades later, The Beatles, MJ, and so forth are still Icons and still very relevant in today's music scene based on their influence and of course impact.

I don't see that with today's acts.
