Is it wrong to have respect for an artist? As someone who's basically made it their life to be into the music industry and music itself, you don't have to know a person to feel grievance for their loss. To me, artists have profound effects on me in terms of inspiration and as an idol to look up to. They shape they way you want to be and they can give you goals to strive for. No one works in a vacuum. All human creations are based on prior knowledge. If you've never had emotional connections to music, then I can understand why you simply don't understand why it's sad to see someone you look up to pass away. |

Having a role-model is fine, because that means you admire or respect who they were as a person and their skill rather than judging who they were based on whether or not you like their music. I just believe that people tend to mourn the loss of his music more than the person himself but don't want to admit it because it comes off as inhumane, so they exaggerate their emotional connection when there was none in the first place so they look good. |

If someone knew Chester personally, I'd understand if they mourned his death, but why would someone who doesn't know him feel remorse for him beyond just basic empathy for other humans? To me, that's like being attached to Hollywood celebrities and talking about them as if you know them personally when all you know is what you read on the internet about them or watch movies they're in.If you don't know anything about him, why do you assume he was a sincerely good person? Not saying he was a bad person or wasn't a good person, but the point I'm making is people assume these things without actually knowing and become emotionally attached to someone they know nothing about and I just don't understand it. --- End quote --- whoops forget i misphrased myself, i wasn't assuming anything about him |
