Rolling Stone names 25 Most Influential Creators of 2026

it’s that time of year again, Rolling Stone released their list of the top 25 content creators, which is actually a test of how old and out of touch you are… the lower your score, the more out of touch i’ve heard of 11 out of 25

I have once again been snubbed by Rolling Stone, on account of me being a six piece chicken mcnobody

The Rolling Stone content creators list is also the Bluesky citizenship test. If you know more than six of them you are denied entry and have to go back to wherever the young people are

Here is Rolling Stone's Top 25 of "influential creators". Every single one of them is American. Many only have a fraction of the following of successful Indian, Japanese or Nigerian internet figures. Most are totally unknown outside of the US. This is a form of solipsism.

I have heard the names Ms. Rachel and Hasan Piker, thanks to bluesky discourse about them. That is the full extent of my knowledge of anything here. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

that rolling stone content creator list doesn't have the Indian guys who shoot tires off of running motors into smokestacks or the Russian guys launching trucks into smokestacks. practically zero smokestack content at all. get with the times, get with my algo

"Rolling Stone Ranks Top Content Creators" I spent the entire day yesterday pondering this and after extensive internet research on the topic and discussing my findings & conclusions with several experts, I can honestly say there is absolutely nothing happening in the world today I care less about.

Congratulations to me on being all 25 of Rolling Stone's most important content creators (I'm assuming)

Rolling stone crashed my mobile browser twice trying to load so many ads so guess I'll never know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That Rolling Stone influencer thing is going to upset the people in their 70s who think Rolling Stone has any pop culture influence

between this stranger and the rolling stone’s 25 most influential people list it has been an especially rough day in terms of feeling cool and relevant and up to date

I clicked on the Rolling Stone influencer story like a dumbass, and my actual old-guy take is that it’s depressing what that publication has been reduced to churning out. I know it’s probably rockist of me to say that.

Someone is gonna do a 25 most influential blueskyers post on here and it's gonna break the discourse for two days.

Waiting for Rolling Stone’s Top 25 Bearded Men Spending The Redundancy Money On Art Supplies list.

You know that Rolling Stone list of top “creators” of 2026? I’m not even going to look at it because I don’t care. 😂
