I actually had a conversation with a co-worker today about the major generational divide over the perception of MJ. Pretty much everyone under the age of 25 today sees him as a child molester first and foremost.

My whole family was in one room watching his videos on MTV for over an hour.

It was literally like the President died or something.

People who laughed at him being a pedophile and being ugly suddenly balling in tears.

I was at 7/11 when I found out. Some guy ran in the store yelling about it "Michael Jackson just died!" and everybody was freaking out

[Badger]

Listened to Without You, didn't know it was a Mariah Carey song

It's always butchered on singing comps

[c0caine]

I saw on the news that some people suicided in group when MJ died

[iHype.]

Yeah, it's so sad because before he died people in school joked about him being a pedophile all the time. Most kids did foremost know him as the pedophile who liked kids.

Then when school started back after his death suddenly everyone was singing his songs and knew all about him.

Yeah this is a lie

I love ATRL anecdotes.

I hope Ke$ha saved some of the money Taylor sent to her. She's gonna need it.

I wonder if Gaga will tweet about her again

[BabyCantYouSee]

I remember in elementary school we all used to call this one teacher Michael Jackson because he was freaky. Sazare kind of has a point.

[Badger]

Yes MJ's reputation before his death was rock bottom. He was a total joke to our generation.

Sure cause MJ wasn't seen as a ****ING joke before he died. Just stfu plz

No, his classics were still being played everywhere unlike Madonna's and Thriller was already a Halloween staple. He also sold out a 50 date tour in seconds

[collin]

It's not a lie, all my peers see MJ as a molestor.

Feel like this will happen when Faga dies too

[Artemisia]

How is that a lie, it's 100% true.

[c0caine]

Many people under 25 still jam to Thriller, Beat It, Bad and don't feel ashamed, unlike the few gays who still listen to Madonna who have to hide it so they don't get smacked

This won't ever happen . MJ is respected and seen as a talented genius, especially after his death, Madonna is seen as a joke even tho we homossexuals know she is very talented and deserves more but other people just look at her as a old lucky woman who managed to stay relevant whitout knowing how to sing, maybe it's the patriarchal society but she won't ever be seen as the same level as MJ

It's funny because she has a much better discog than him and cared way more about her career and maintaining fans after the '90s. At least she will die knowing she worked hard for her legacy her whole life while MJ died lonely, drugged and in debt. (Love him.)

My mom literally only played Mariah Carey when I was growing up. I know like every single song and ad lib from her

[Shaliydah88]

I was asleep when Michael died. My dad came back from the store and woke me up told me and I remember saying "NO WAY."
It was eerie to me, because there was this commercial with "I'll Be There" that played all the time the month he passed.
