I was specifically rebutting your initial comment, where you hyperbolically say “we’re really living in a time where people don’t know Loss,” as if it’s some iconic piece of culture like the Wizard of Oz or the Beatles or *Thriller* or something.
It’s a shitty internet meme. Yes, a lot of people know it, but it’s not “iconic,” and you shouldn’t be shocked there are also a lot people (in their 30s who grew up on the internet!) who don’t know it.
There a reason why this is a pinned post: it’s because a huge amount of people don’t know it. It’s not as iconic as you think. The End.

There’s a Wikipedia page about my local mayor… do you think he’s popular?

There's also a wiki page on some endangered spider that lives in some specific tiny area in guam that only three entomologists know about, so that doesn't really prove anything.

Having a Wikipedia page means it's notable. Popularity is neither implied nor required.

Yeah so? Just because it's got a wiki page doesn't mean it's popular either. Corona has it's own page too, so does Rotwelsch. With the first you could jokingly twist it, but the latter? Definitly not popular
