Six degrees of Streisand Effect'ing
For me, third order Streisand effect is this song immediately beginning to play in my head.
Maybe as a 4th order effect, Millenials can use this song to attempt to explain to Zoomers what genuine optimism for the future looked and sounded like.
I hated that for like a half year you could hear it from all speakers, everywhere, it became annoying very quickly. That's what it reminds me.

As a late millenial, i always thought she was an actress.
I know she did a duet with someone for a movie tie in song. I don't remember the song, I don't remember the movie, I don't remember who the male singer in the duet was.

Gen X here, Barbara Streisand was definitely well-known to both my gen and people older than me (i.e. boomers and beyond). She was (is) both singer and movie actor.
Poe's Law and Godwin's Law otoh, I'd never know about these people if it wasn't for their "laws".
Damn your black heart Barbra Streisand
When do they learn about her version of Jingle Bells?
