O mundo das mídias sociais mudou em um ritmo muito rápido. Parece que assim que ficamos viciados em um aplicativo em particular, outro é apresentado, o que nos atrai a todos e ficamos viciados na plataforma digital mais recente que surge em nosso caminho.
There is an entire generation of celebrities that have formed their entire careers without the aid of social media and digital advertising. Those talented artists have had to overcome the generation gap and get on board with social media platforms in order to stay relevant today. Snoop Dogg and Madonna are examples of exceptional stars that have been able to successfully transition into this newer mode of communicating with their fans.
The younger generation, of course, has grown up in the digital age, and has had no issue keeping pace with the changes. They still have favorites though! Stars like Addison Rae dominates Tiktok and would never have amassed their fame and fortune without the aid of the TikTok app, but for her bestie, Kourtney Kardashian, it was BBM that stole her heart.
Kourtney Kardashian Misses BBM
It’s amazing to see how much the Kardashian family has changed and evolved over the years. Fans were mesmerized by Kourtney’s recent throwback photo of herself as a younger child, alongside an even younger Rob Kardashian. The two looked fresh-faced and innocent in comparison, especially Kourtney. This is a stark contrast to the overtly edited and glammed appearance she has taken on in recent years. This photo truly captures the innocence of the moment as the brother and sister duo are both photographed at what appears to be the Halloween season, many years ago.
In the image, Rob is holding a phone in his hand, and Kourtney captioned the photo with the words; “Hey Bob, do you miss BBM?” This photograph was clearly connected to a memory as Kourtney remembered that Rob was chatting on BBM at the time it was taken. To put the timing of this image in perspective, BBM was released in 2005, a full 15 years ago. It was wildly popular and is credited as being among the most engaging social media platforms that aided in connecting people to one another, virtually.

Fans Miss BBM Too!
Rob immediately replied to his sister’s post by writing; “Aghhhh I dooo lol” and even Kim weighed in by saying she misses BBM as well.
Fans wasted no time chiming in with their love for what is now considered to be an old-school app. “OMG, BBM…yaasss!” said one fan, while another fan wrote; “the best!”.
With a plug like this, it’s possible that a new version of BBM will be created just to please the Kardashians!
