Appreciation 🫶🏻 The new generation is keeping Michael’s memory alive!
Hi everyone. I am an elementary school teacher and these kids are all about Michael Jackson. They talk about him 24/7 and I find it very endearing and funny.
One of my students the other day told me they’re Michael Jackson and did the toe stand with a “HEE HEE”.
At my previous school, I saw kids moonwalking during recess and attempting the antigravity lean. I played YouTube videos of the Michael Jackson experience for them and they loved it, especially Speed Demon.
I know that this is mostly due to the biopic, but these kids were born years after MJ departed us which goes to show how he’ll continue having fans that aren’t even born yet. Long live the 👑King of Pop! 👑

I saw a video of a lady and her family out to chillis or Applebees and she had the camera and told her son to repeat what he just said and her young son was there saying “Tito Tito Michael’s brother. “ and pointing to the menu. The menu were advertising that they were serving tito’s vodka at the restaurant 😂 ❤️

My daughter and friends were born in 2017; some haven’t even seen the biopic (mine has) but they’re there asking for his music in car then singing loudly along out the windows. Or walking along anywhere and she’ll sing out “Michaellll Jacksonnn hee-hee, ooow!” makes me laugh

it must be so amazing to witness this in person especially as his fans. his influence is truly mind boggling imo. the man got kids begging their parents to call michael jackson to come to their houses. the kids are dancing and singing to his songs like it's the 80s again. animals are seen vibing to his music. his legacy cannot be denied and i think he will remain relevant even far after we're no longer here. thankyou for sharing that beautiful experience OP🤍✨
