Twenty students were interviewed to determine which celebrities and influencers are still believed to be cool and which are now considered to be “canceled.”

When one is canceled, most commonly celebrities, they can lose millions of fans within minutes of saying something that fans do not agree with. CNN describes the result of this modern reference, and how it can lead to our society believing someone does not deserve their fans’ involvement in their life (read more about cancel culture here).

The students were asked about their opinion on the following 20 actors and YouTubers-
