I definitely have times like that. The other day, Mariah Carey songs was the topic and I had no idea, which wouldn’t have been a problem but one of the other categories stumped me as well, so there was no way I could win.
Same issue as you! I wonder if this is mainstream knowledge I should be expected to have, but like most tech nerd types celebrities and pop culture are a gap in my knowledge (which, to be honest, I have no interest in correcting), or if this is honestly obscure stuff that manages to masquerade as mainstream knowledge because a big-name celebrity is attached to it. I mean, her high school graduation year is probably on Wikipedia but not something you should reasonably expect anything but her fans, former classmates/teachers, and family to know.
