I came across this BET article while I was researching my last Jeopardy Board (Which is super hard...) As a 58 year old, I know that I am pathetically out of touch with the 21st century. I barely know how to use Instagram, and I don't use Tik-tok.

I know Amanda Gorman, Simone Biles and Marsai Martin. I'm curious whether any of the others are known to young people and I'm just out of touch.
