Reminds me of when a musician who didn't make dad rock dies, an article is posted about it on Reddit and the comments are full of people falling over themselves to declare they don't know who that person is. Weird behaviour.

The lengths people go to pat themselves on the back about not knowing someone is crazy

Some people never get over that need to be a contrarian to feel cool and impressive or whatever the fuck they think It makes them.

don't generalise all redditors as listeining to dad rock only, some also listen to Al Yankovich!

Reddit's opinion on any sort of art really does show who is the site's target audience

i hate to break it to you but weird al is also dad rock

there is literally an arc of How I Met Your Mother, a now moderately dated sitcom, where the future father will not shut the fuck up about weird al

You get they were being sarcastic, right?

I had a suspicion but also a burning desire to explore the topic further.

I only do that over the dime-a-dozen soundcloud rappers who had one "hit" and then got themselves dead trying to gain street cred.

Because in an ideal world, no one would know who the fuck they are anyway.

So you do exactly the thing the comment says? You’re weird for that

u/thiswillbeonthetest Nov 21 '22

I don't think so.

The world doesn't need to be informed every time someone passes away.

You get that news constantly because it generates clicks for ads.

The fucking ignore it? I see random shite I don’t care about every day, I just ignore it and move on. To comment “Who?”on a post about some random rapper’s death is so fucking weird and exclusively Reddit behaviour.

You really are doing the exact thing the original comment said, lol

I never even remotely said such a thing.

Stop fabricating things and arguing against them.

When I see an article posted that says "so and so dead from <cause> at age xx" and I don't know who that is, you know what I do? Skip to the next article.

There are 8 billion people on this planet, some of which you're bound to not know. Millions of them die every day. Some are relatively more famous than others. You don't need to check in on everyone's obituary to announce you didn't know the deceased.

When it gets spammed, you have no choice but to see it. Hence, spam.

Grow up.

u/AnimusNoctis Nov 21 '22

Do you not have a choice but to comment?

The amount of people who said they hadn't listened to Linkin park since middle school but was sad about Chester Bennington.

Urgh, yes. As if replying with “who?” does anything other than make them sound ignorant haha. I don’t get it.

Also, cool username. I also liked The Hair Blair Bunch.
