People Tweeting About "New Artist" Paul McCartney Prove Society Is Doomed

Could it be? Do some people seriously not know who Paul McCartney is? After the legendary rocker was featured on Kanye West's latest track, "Only One," fans took to Twitter to share their feelings about the emotional tune and many people — whom we can only hope are well-meaning teenagers — were unsure who the man even was. Some referred to Sir Paul as an up-and-coming artist who was lucky to have been given such an awesome opportunity by Kanye, while others just completely botched his name. The best part of the whole thing is that once the tweets began going viral, more social media personalities popped up to add fuel to the fire with sarcastic, perfectly troll-worthy responses; NYC-based @DesusNice easily won with his tweet, "Kanye has a great ear for talent. This Paul McCartney guy gonna be huge." Keep reading to see all the hilarious (and embarrassing) reactions to "Only One."
