2015 is around the time the term thic went mainstream, and white women started focusing on growing their asses big for some reason.
You are way off on that date. You can trace the change in attitude towards asses to the Jennifer Lopez panty photo. (Vogue IIRC)
EDIT: It was Vanity Fair in 1998.

Just wait until you learn what the term "Rubinesque" means, and that it dates back to the 1600s....
...but that wasn't really the topic, and I never said this trend hadn't happened before.
I think this argument should stop - it's hammer time! :)
Edit: I would explain my stupid reference - I'm an MC Hammer fan, and I cannot lie...
Edit: I could swear MC Hammer at least covered the song once, but I guess I just mixed up the artists.
Are you confusing Sir Mix-a-lot with MC Hammer?
I'm not sure who this Sir Mix A Lot is, but does he love big butts?
And he cannot lie.
Jennifer Lopez isn't a white woman.
No but Marilyn Monroe started the hourglass figure trend before JLo
Edit this list is pretty great about naming curvy women thru American pop culture https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/g6376/best-celebrity-hourglass-bodies/
It’s missing pics from what I can tell on my phone.
I think most people are talking about figures like these when they’re saying gyatt and what not
I mean, anyone with good taste has preferred women with a booty since way before the late 90s
As with most things in "mainstream" American culture, that was the case for the majority of minority cultures in the US. It just takes a while until the majority catches up.
I wish that was true as a whole, but no. Sure, there were those that knew a good thing when they saw it, but overall the sentiment towards curves through the eighties was not positive, hence 1992's Baby Got Back. "Oh, my, god. Look at her butt." The shift really took hold with that J.Lo Vanity Fair shoot and everyone thirsting like crazy.
I will go as far as saying that J.Lo and Ricky Martin also kicked off a huge interest/acceptance in latin people in popular culture.
What about Queen and Spinal Tap?
I don't think Freddie Mercury was into the type of women he was singing about.
