These 32 memes about nepo babies would have Lily Allen and Lottie Moss absolutely raging
You probably do deserve to be called out if your dad’s a baron tbf
I, for one, will never get tired of nepo baby discourse. Watching famous kids of Wikipedia-page-parents whine about how they had to work twice as hard as an underprivileged person, before seeing the backlash and carnage unfold will NEVER get old. Kate Moss’ sister is fighting for her life on Twitter right now after saying “life isn’t fair,” and I’m loving every second.
The conversation crops up every couple of weeks, but this time there’s actually some context to it. US publication New York published a “nepo baby chart” inside a special “overanalysing Hollywood’s nepo babies” edition of its mag. From Maude Apatow to Dakota Johnson, Miley Cyrus and Lily-Rose Depp – not a single celeb was safe. Christ, the writers even included Phoebe Bridgers for being related to a low-level set designer. It was brutal.
It feels like the world is against nepo babies at the moment; which means an endless supply of memes; which is great news for us, really. So sit back, relax, leaf through your parents’ career history and laugh at these 32 nepo baby memes:
1. They don’t need nobody, ’cause they got each other
