You know what.... Que is kinda right. An icon is more so someone who has achieved major success and set trends in a particular MOMENT in time, but a legend is more so someone who has done all of those things PLUS influenced a whole generation AND has stood the test of time.

Undeniable impact and influence.
!!!!!!!!!! IMO, longevity can play a factor but its not necessarily a requirement. Some legends made that kind of impact in a very short amount of time.

So is Gag legendary? She has had commercial success and she had all the gals trying to be edgy. Plus her vids are some of the best videos distributed by a pop girl.


Ya fuckin faggot :fuming:
she's a fucking fad  :blessed:

Long lasting cultural impact makes you a legend. That's it. It's how you are remembered.
pretty much

I don't even think longevity (lasting 20-30 years) is even necessary for that either lol

Lots of Hits
Classics
A fairly large catalog
Talent in some area or field or at least creativity
Ability to visually or sonically transform & still remain relevant
Critical acclaim
Longevity (like at least 10 yrs)
Classic Albers
Iconic moments
Referenced extensively

Etc

whatever

Tina turner
MJ
Aretha


For this era I think Beyonc?, Kanye, Adele will be legends...
