Cultural Icons

Anonymous

Pop singer Beyoncé caused a sensation earlier this week when she declared her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, a cultural icon amidst an attempt to trademark the stylish 7-year old’s moniker. Whilst the young Miss Carter was too iconic to comment upon her mother’s legal travails, we here at The Cheese Grater have decided to stick it to these soi-disant “sceptics” by listing our own selections for youth cultural icons of the week.

  1. Darnit Dyer. Born of a brief but passionate liaison between political strategist Dominic Cummings and Love Island winner Dani Dyer, the 2-year old Darnit is already making waves in the youth influencer circuit. Most recently, Dyer can be seen fronting the Campaign for Resisting Age based Prejudice, or CRAP, which focuses on helping our young people self-actualize in a time of great confusion and turmoil.

  2. Chia Seed. This baby is in fact a lot edgier than their nutrition-based Mononym would suggest. The fictional progeny of the tall one and the hot priest from Fleabag, our second cultural icon has already forged a path for young people looking to create space for foul-mouthed, angry babies to win television awards.

  3. David Dimbleby.
