This year, a number of entertainers, activists, and artists have established themselves as the pioneers of tomorrow. If you're in tune with pop culture, you know that things are everchanging in this world. New trends begin in the blink of an eye and you need to always be on top of your things. If not, you risk being completely out of the loop. If you weren't on TikTok last year, you were likely already late on the Lil Nas X "Old Town Rad" craze... and now you see how that turned out. The fascination with the country-rap song netted the young rapper enough of a platform to be named to TIME 100 Next's 2019 list of the most influential people in the world.
