26 favourite funny reactions to the fuss about ‘Nepo Babies’
We’ve all woken up in a brand new world.
It’s not a world where swords are beaten into ploughshares or mortal enemies offer the hand of friendship. This new world is one where everybody’s talking about ‘Nepo Babies’.
It’s all thanks to the New York Magazine.
Nepo babies are not only abundant — they’re thriving. How could two little words cause so much conflict? Writes @kn8 in our (over)analysis of the phenomenon: "We love them, we hate them, we disrespect them, we’re obsessed with them." https://t.co/WA22qhdS29 pic.twitter.com/nmWXlrIMNS

In case any of this is unclear – Nepo Baby is short for Nepotism Baby, and the New York Magazine’s laser-like but tongue-in-cheek focus was on the world of showbusiness.
In the same light-hearted spirit – mostly – tweeters had some thoughts to share.

If I was a nepo baby, people would literally never see or hear from me. I would spend my parents money in absolute silence and peace.
