And you wonder why you're called a fanboy when KoOS is not.

Except, you know, it's contrary to what you said. That's a big deal. But again, nice dodge.

When Lennon got shot, he got some bandwagon fans jump on his caboose too. When presly wound up dead, same deal. When Dean died he became this fucking icon. Monroe died and she became a legend for whatever reason, despite a serious lack of talent. Cobain wasnt on the Monroe side of things, he died a talented individual and artist.

Veeeeery goooood.

You say he's overrated. I say that one who acquires more fans and fame due to death doesnt become overrated unless whatever he did in life was not so significant. To try and doubt his significance during his lifetime is to underrate him, and greatly.

That's bullshit. You're trying to equate accomplishment with popularity, the two of which are not the same or even related.

Their rep is for brilliance and originality, both are undeserved no matter how popular they are. Just because more and more fans scream it after he blew his brains out doesn't make it true. His work and Nirvana's in general is uninspired and unoriginal. That cannot change because people like them. Therefore, their rep is undeserved and they are overrated. Overrated simply means they do not live up to that reputation in reality, not that they are completely insignificant. Again, the overreaction is why you get called a fanboy, not the fact that you like them.
