New Year without pop

We were at a party, a bunch of westsiders  watching the New Year show on TV. All kinds of intellectuals from the Hudson Valley. Who is this one? Who is Jenny McCarthy? Who are the Khardashians?  I actually read the NY Post every day at lunch but could not recognize any or give convincing explanations. A woman commented: Dick Clark? Isn't he embarrassed to still show up? But he was the only one we actually knew and recognized.
New Year without pop culture. Or just an old bunch of people.
