[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because he's too young to have died of a massive stroke.

Because it's one of the few shows that women of a certain age bonded over, and he was everyone's favorite bad boy.

Because he still looked pretty much the same at 53 as he did at the time of BH90210, and thus we all still thought of him as Dylan.

Because it reminds us that we're not as young as we still think we are.[/quote]

This.

Plus, it hits me to see actors I crushed on aging in general. Look at [b]Harrison Ford[/b], Don Johnson, Clooney, Pitt, etc. They look like grandpas. It sucks getting old. And dying young is even worse. [/quote]

Harrison Ford is 76 years old, and in my opinion, really doesn't look it.  I grew up idolizing Indiana Jones and it legitimately scares me that he's going to be the next icon to die.  I wasn't even a big 90210 fan but when the news hit yesterday afternoon, I was in a meeting with three other women, all of us in our late 30s/early 40s, and everyone took it pretty hard.  I hate the phrase, but that show really "defined a generation," and they were the cool slightly older kids.  His death reminds us that, well, we're not kids anymore.  [/quote]
