that's probably the best way to describe it. prince was an icon.
kylie is a rich, overly plastic- surgeried teenager whose sister made her mom and sisters famous because she was urinated on in a porn. she has capitalized well on this.

I think it's subjective. I didn't discuss Prince when he passed, I don't think I discussed Whitney or MJ either at any length. I actually can't think of a celebrity I discussed after passing. Maybe I don't have any icons.
To some person, somewhere this girl is an icon. Like how people consider Marilyn Monroe an icon and I'm like why..

I truly believe that if any of the K's passed away, they would be talked about. Just because us in the forums don't particularly care for them doesn't mean millions of people actually do
today when i walk my dog, i can describe his large dump as iconic.
When I say people, I don't mean fans...I mean the gossip rags who keep them popular. There would be no reason because there will be no money to make from them given that everything about them is what they're doing in the moment on social networks. Without their daily postings there's no reason to mention them and they'll fade away. There's still money to be made in discussing Madonna, Prince, JFK, Marylin, Whitney, MJ, etc. That's kind of my only point about calling someone an icon....it's all about the longevity and ability to remain relevant to the same amount of people in death/retirement/umpteen years later as you were in your glory years. Kylie doesn't have this yet.
OT but I can't get over "influencers". IG/YouTube-Famouse people, only relevant on IG/youtube. there is a comic con coming up in my town and you pay to get a picture done with an IG/youtuber?!I feel old, lol. I'm only 27 but geez...Miss Wizards of Waverly place and Kylie Jenner are icons, I can't.
I actually live in a world where Selena Gomez and Kylie Jenner are listed beside the greats as 'Iconic', smh.
Those chicks can't even be the napkins or silverware at the Iconic table, let alone actually sit in a seat. Sigh.
So the recipe for Iconic in 2017 is as simple as having millions of followers and being tabloid gossip. K.
I really hope this hype is over once my children are old enough!
Her face really looks strange here but I can't quite put my finger on it ....... Her lips for sure gotten an upgrade but its something else ??

I'd say fad, not icon. Current trend, but not icon.
There is no way Kylie with her fake lips and fake body is an icon. Having people follow you on social media is merely a sign of the times, not popularity. Anyone can have followers on insta, and if your name is remotely famous, you can have a million followers. It does not have anything to do with lasting powers.
Icons are folks who have stood the test of time, had something to contribute and contribute positively. They have earned respect through talent and hard work. I don't think of the Kardashians have earned any respect whatsoever.
To me kylie is never going to be an icon , period. But sadly a lot of teenagers look up to her "fashion wise" and treat her like a figure. In my country, when I go to malls I see a lot of kylie mini me. I also completely agree that kylie copies whatever is considered "hot" in instagram . I mean come on, its very obvious when did any Kardashian/Jenner did anything original?
All eyes were on Kylie Jenner as she opened The Sugar Factory in Las Vegas on Saturday.
The 19-year-old reality television star put on a leggy display in a thigh-skimming form-fitting striped dress.
But the spotlight was briefly stolen from the starlet when she was interrupted by angry protesters there to shame the makeup mogul for wearing fur.

That's a cute dress. She actually looks more like her age here, I'm digging it
her chronological age? she still looks to me like someone who messed her face with too much PS
cute body though
