Andy Warhol said it best: in the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes. Now, there’s no way Mr. Warhol could’ve predicted the internet, but he was right in the sense that people are fickle, and things can fall out of favor just as quickly as they came into it.

There have been plenty of artists that have gone viral and never been heard from again—sometimes we call them “one-hit wonders” and sometimes we call them “memes.” Either way, the fame is short-lived, so we really have to applaud the artists out there who took their moment of fame and actually turned it into a real career.
