Bullshit. Absolute bullshit.
I agree the 2016 fucked the
internet beyond repair, but the first politician to aggressively shove his penis into culture as part of his strategy was Obama in 2008.
Just one example but a perfect one:

And even though it wasn't a
positive everybody in America knew that Bush was the dumb guy who had a book filled with dumb quotes. Every movie and tv show of the 2000s had him being made fun of in some way or another.
Politics has never strictly been for the adults, i would sayin the 90s it was for a brief period but that was mainly just because things were so chill normies couldn't be bothered to give a shit. Ronald Reagan won state and presidential elections by being a movie star, and i can't remember who but there was some president way back in the day who's hair was fawned over by women's magazines.
Music has always been political, dead kennedys, sex pistols, beatles, even the 90s had rage against the machine calling candidates out by name in their gay michael moor directed videos
which are admittedly awesome as is the music even if though message is retarded.
Politics matters and it involves ultimate power, which makes it
sexy. Normies and retards have always liked it.
