I think Taylor Swift is actually a perfect example, it's quite common to hear people say "I don't know any song by her beyond shake it off".

I challenge anyone from the '80s not to know of a few songs by Madonna or Michael Jackson.

Taylor is huge with some fans and completely unknown to her not-fans and there seem to be a steel transition between the two states.

This is unheard of for children to say this. If you mean adults, there were plenty of adults in the 80s that didn’t know Madonna songs, and even Michael Jackson
