You worry about Lana Snore Rey and that funeral music of hers still being a thing 5 years from now, let alone 30.

I know, but I find it weird that I never hear Janet's song on the radios or at classic stations when I hear Like A Prayer , Billie Jean, Hey Jude , Bohemian Rhapsody and many other songs from artists who are often regarded as legends, just that.

BET classics? Absolutely

In the real world (especially WW) people don't know Janitor, let alone her songs.

Elvis was most certainly NOT local...

ATRL is a strange paradox where Beyonce and Britney Spears are undeniable legends, but the artist that directly influenced them isn't.

I don't think it's age, because even if you're young and aren't familiar with her body of work, you research and learn. Not just with Janet, but any legend in music (especially older acts).

It's not because she's not "global", because again, a simple Google search of her touring receipts will show you just how big she was in areas outside of the US in her prime.

I think it's just "cool" within this forum to deny Janet's impact. Mostly by stans of certain artists that don't want their favs seen as "influenced"/"inspired" by Janet..

Because she's always been overshadowed by her brother + local + 0 classics

I just don't believe a lot of users here know anything prior to 2005 I've seen posts where users didn't even know who Kurt Cobain was

Just Kurt? I've seen people here that don't know who Marvin Gaye and Al Green are. Like another poster said, you can only take ATRL so seriously...

You're such a troll

I've also seen people on here saying they don't know any Stevie Wonder or Elton John songs

Elvis didn't even tour outside of the US. He was local. Brush up on your musical history before the year 2000.

Because she isn't globally known.
I've never even heard any of her songs before (albeit the MJ one)

Kinda proves that the 'local' comments probably stem from underlying Racism.

Elvis and Kylie are global, while Janet, Mariah and Beyonce are local
