Gagadonna 10,801 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I'm so saddened by this tragedy. His music shaped my whole teenage. I danced so many nights on his songs when I was younger. A humble legend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikolaj 11,633 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I never know what to make of a dead artist's popularity skyrocketing. It kinda smells hypocrisy - why now, not earlier? Will we appreciate his music only now that we won't get any new ever again? I once watched the whole >1hr video showing him making Dancing In My Head. It was the very beginning of my attempts to create music of any sort. I will remember him like that - an inspiration to all the music makers who stuck in their bedrooms.

He was certainly much appreciated when he was still alive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was rather pointing out what's happening right now, after his death - people go back to his songs... why exactly? I cannot wrap my head around it. They could listen to it anytime, but they do it now. If he had released anything new this year, people would have probably hardly cared (as compared to True and Stories at least) because EDM is not exactly popular right now.

Wolf 1,328 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Levels was f*cking iconic. But his newer stuff was powerful and raw. He will be missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens to almost all artists when they die. MJ, Prince, Bowie and so on. Why? I don't know. I don't remember who it was, but I believe someone said that the best thing you can do for your career is to die. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every news site spamming their front page about the news, radios replaying someones song, everyone talking about. It's only natural alot of people go back and listen to someones music when they get so much attention. Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only natural alot of people go back and listen to someones music when they get so much attention. Â I noticed, not for me though. I have a hard time each time I listen to the music of a late artist. I think there's some set of emotions that each of their songs was supposed to make me feel, but this gets overwhelmed by the sadness that they are no longer here to give us more. Only very recently I started getting into the discography of Michael Jackson, not only the most popular songs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSlash 14,539 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I'm not a fan of most of his music, tbh. But his talent was undeniable. It's a tragedy that he died at such a young age. That's something I don't even wish my greates enemies. And it must be the end of the world for his family, especially for his parents and his brother  . I hope they won't fall apart on this pain. 1 hour ago, ExMachina said: I never know what to make of a dead artist's popularity skyrocketing. It kinda smells hypocrisy - why now, not earlier? Will we appreciate his music only now that we won't get any new ever again? I think it's a weird way to honor a late person in general. I noticed it with myself. As I said above, I never listened to his music as I did to the music of others. But since yesterday, I roam around Spotify every now and then to discover something from him I might have missed and possibly would've liked if I heard it earlier. Ew, David!
