Snickers is already 93 years old, Spider-man is 61. So they’re already on their way.
Eminem’s kind of a novelty like Elvis Presley, so could go either way. People not into sports don’t know who Lionel Messi is [b]now[/b]. And in 300 years people may be physically teleporting rather than using the phone.

The USA itself will probably be nothing more than a historical footnote at that point….

300 years ago J. S. Bach was alive and active at that time. I doubt if any of the music of the 21st century will be remembered or enjoyed by the general public 300 yrs hence, only a few historians and musicologists will be familiar with our pop music or culture. J. S. Bach died in 1750. He and his music will be remembered for many centuries to come, perhaps thousands of years. In fact, his music recordings were inscribed onto the historical disk attached to the Voyager 1 Space Probe, which left our Solar System decades ago. It is now in Interstellar Space, so it may, ultimately, outlive not only our civilization, but life on Earth and our planet itself. It could be conceivably be found and played by an alien civilization millions if not billions of yrs hence !

I am thinking about what we remember today from 300 years ago (1723) about popular performers, fiction, foods, athletes, and communication methods. What came to mind was quill pens. So I vote for iphones.
(Admittedly, I was too lazy to think about which authors or composers are from that era, some of whom are probably well known to me.)
