I'm Not Famous

This was a street-wise form of advertising by the band AJR, and they’re wonderful, campy song, “I’m Not Famous.” The song is a happy statement about not being famous  and proposes that being examined in the public spotlight is hard enough, but fame in the digital age can be devastating.

“I’m Not Famous” is a statement on the 21st century pitfalls of stardom. No haters wanted. When I was younger I dreamed about being famous, and why not? Fame brings money, travel, and insurmountable perks. But in this age of a 24/7 gossip cycle, fame may no longer hold the same cachet. Being examined in the public spotlight is hard enough, but fame in the digital age can be devastating. “I’m Not Famous” is a statement on the 21st century pitfalls of stardom. No haters wanted.
