[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope this doesn’t sound too callous. With Matthew Perry’s death I am seeing all these people posting about how much they loved him - people who have never met him. If you’re one of these people, what drives your attachment to pop culture figures you don’t actually know?[/quote] I have only seen people post general things about Perry's death ("how sad!" / "watching Friends will never be the same" / etc.), so I don't think it's over the top. But when Michael Jackson died I had this same reaction - the wailing and gnashing of teeth was shocking to me. Yes, he was a generational talent, but he was also clearly an unhealthy person and I'm not sure why people expected him to live to 100. I didn't say anything about it because the reactions seemed genuine as opposed to performative, but the depth of emotion was baffling to me.[/quote]
