Really though, it's just as silly to assume that the artists won't be iconic in the future than to say that they will be. The Beatles were written off by many as a passing fad but they ended up being icons. Unless you wanna give me a ride in your time machine I think judging from today's events is the only way to determine icons. Kanye comes to mind.

Because its fun to mess with you LOL

And I have given a ton of detailed examples and reasoning....you still haven't though.

Why is it silly to assume when none of the current pop stars are Icons?

The Beatles were groundbreaking for their present time AND they also made a lasting impact.

You seem to think Icons only exist in the present tense but their impacts are groundbreaking and culturally significant not just for the present time.

What is Kanye's Icon album?

What is his significant cultural impact on music?

What do we associate with Kanye that is also apart of pop culture?

What makes Kanye an Icon?

You got some splaining to do boo, get to it.
