The "weed guy" as cultural archetype has completely disappeared. Musicians like Snoop Dogg or Wiz Khalifa who made it their whole personality are irrelevant now. Legalization normalized it. There's no counterculture left in it, no edge, it's just dated. Among movies, "stoner comedies" like Pineapple Express are completely obsolete. There's more to it! It used to be that this particular "weed guy" archetype selected for people who were a bit rebellious and therefore interesting. But now that the rebellious have moved elsewhere, the "weed guy" that's leftover is just tremendously boring. Because of course marijuana tends to slow people down, make them complacent, a little lazy -- boring. You may not even know any of them, because they tend to just hang out by themselves, stoned, alone, at home. This is now an antimemetic personality.

Lady Gaga, before she hit it big was working small venues, playing Led Zeppelin, & other covers. Here she is under her actual name, Stefani Germanotta, playing ‘D'yer Mak’er’ at The Bitter End club, New York, 2006. Good taste to go with Led Zep as a career starter I reckon!

MUSIC INDUSTRY PRO TIP – The industry is smaller than you think. Like...really really small lol. Everyone knows each other and the intern today might be a power player tomorrow. How you treat people on the way up is how they’ll remember you when they’re up.
