If you have something you are recognized for... you will cling desperately to it. Comedian? Forever chasing their best show. Sports legends hanging around too long. Its pretty human to want recognition... even if part of it is genetics and youth. Time is the great equaliser.
In the end - if the odd rituals, diets, and surgery leaves them feeling happy... let them have it. Being pretty and famous is almost a monkeys paw. Sure, everyone ages - but you get to age on a pedestal. There initially for your broad appeal... and then on public display as everyone gets to get their shots in as that youthful glow fades. Ick. I wouldn't want it to be me.
i think the meme was mostly referring to celebrities. they certainly will cling to thier "ip". ISAIP's ROB mac and kaitlyn olsen, and glenn to a lesser extent is trying to cling to hollywood fame for dear life. they became unrecognizable compared to even season 12, its kinda funny how people younger than milleneals dont even notice them at all(they went on talk shows and what not) nobody cheered or anything it was honestly kinda cringe how he hyped his own image up.
