Keeping up with the Kardashians’ is harder than it looks. It’s a full time job to keep track of the pregnancies, the cheating, the beauty, the fashion, and so much more. But it only took such a short period of time for Kim to have been dethroned by the youngest of them all. Only at the age of 20, Kylie has become the new Kim.

∼

This all started back in November 2015 when Kylie released her formerly named brand Kylie Lip Kits which started to kick off in 2016 when it became Kylie Cosmetics. Kylie Cosmetics was advertised on her Instagram account causing her to gain 20 million followers in the span of six months; today she has 118 million followers. Now her company has a net worth of 900 million dollars!

In a normal family the younger siblings try to copy the older ones, but we are dealing with a family that is nowhere close to normal. Kim decides to launch her own line KKW Beauty (Kim Kardashian West Beauty) a year after Kylie Cosmetics. Looks like Kim doesn’t know how to come up with ideas on her own. She had to steal them from her youngest sister.

For Kylie it didn’t stop there. Her account gradually got more popular and then peaked when she made a public announcement that got everyone talking…

It’s the pregnancy of the year! Out of 12 of the most liked photos on Instagram, Kylie’s pictures of little Stormi hold the top two spots and Kim is nowhere to be seen. This shouldn’t be a surprise because who doesn’t love baby pictures?! This is quite ironic since back in December 2015 Kylie said in an interview with Elle U.K. “Once I have a kid I’m not going to be on Instagram…You know, I’ll probably delete my Instagram and just…I don’t know, live life.” Obviously she has not deleted her Instagram and probably no longer has the intention to do so since most of what she posts includes her daughter. Everyone knows Kim has a growing family too but there’s a 17-year difference. People talk more when a 20 year old gets pregnant than when a 38 year old.

Kylie’s reign on social media doesn’t stop with Instagram. Three weeks after the birth of her child she tweets

She has so much influence on the Internet that because of one little tweet Snap lost 1.5 billion dollars in market value. She then tries to fix the damage too little too late by tweeting “still love you tho snap… my first love”. What’s been done cannot be undone, especially on the Internet. It’s insane how influential Kylie is to the world. Everything she does or says, good or bad, holds meaning and will make her 25 million Twitter followers want to follow her trend.

Kim may have the 120 million followers on Instagram, the 59.3 million followers on Twitter and the 8-9 million views on her snap story but Kylie has the fame. I think it’s safe to say that Kylie rightfully earned her crown. Sorry Kim.

Ross I’m fine meme: we used the Ross I’m fine meme because everything in the husbands life is not going right in the beginning. His first wife and child died in child birth and his second child died a week after being born. He has a lot of grief that he’s keeping to himself in order to be strong even though he actually isn’t. Similar to Ross in the tv show Friends, where the meme originated, who is acting as if everything is all right when it’s not.

Kylie pregnant meme: this meme shows how the protagonist got married to the guy and had a child for her own well being and her family’s. She wouldn’t have been able to take care of her parents by herself so she had to think of the future.
