Several characters from games and TV I knew before they blew up

I do not doubt for a second that, if you’ve been on the internet the last few weeks, you’ve probably heard that Chappell Roan’s latest single “The Subway” is out. Already it’s been set up as one of three contenders fighting for the No.1 spot on Billboard’s Top 100. But for a certain subset of fans, Roan’s success isn’t a good thin. Instead, it’s proof that the artist they knew before she was famous has officially passed into mainstream stardom — and lost her artistic credibility along the way.
