Therefore, one would think the millennial generation would at least know Janet has a sister named Rebbie. But many of them did not have a clue she existed and proceeded to express their confusion about her online, as old generations tried to enlighten them about her:

_jussb__: Every time I turn around it’s a Jackson I never heard of lol

m.mimixo: you must be young. She’s not a new sibling she just keeps away from the spot light

bohemian_curls: That’s probably Janet’s mama lol!…black don’t crack.

bbutterscotchqueen: Thought that was her mom

thirstforbill: What I thought it was only one sister and it’s Janet … wtd

Mass Confusion For the Youngins’

As y’all can see, Janet and Rebbie caused mass confusion for the youngins, LOL. Their confusion was equally as comical, as it is a dose of reality- that today’s generation lacks a great deal of knowledge about the days of real R&B music.

Some millenials may believe that R&B started with Chris Brown and hip hop started with Lil Wayne. Can’t really place blame on them though, they’re just the result of the re-programming that major mainstream music outlets have inflicted on young people for quite some time, by dumbing down the music they push. A sad reality indeed. Anywho, the good news is that Janet and Rebbie are out here lookin’ GOOD at 52 and 68!
