December: Nepo Babies
Some of Holywood stars look a little familiar, and that's because we've seen their parents on screen for years! TikTok calls the children of famous parents Nepotism Babies, or nepo babies for short, and they have been a hot topic of a lot of debate this month. The focus has been on nepo babies in the entertainment industry, and the internet continues to call them out and discuss the industry benefits and successes they are met with despite their competition.
Of course, the issue of nepotism reaches far beyond the entertainment industry, and nepo babies will always be around. It seems to be more prevalent in Hollywood because of the industry's very public and visual nature.
But it seems not many people have any issues with whether or not an actor, singer or model is a nepo baby, as long as they do a good job. But it's more of an issue when nepo babies pretend they're playing on the same field as everybody else or complain about their privilege.
