Juice Wrld died today and I keep seeing people say he was a legend. The same thing when Chester Bennington died. You may personally be a fan but none of these people are legendary. They weren't even household names. Paul McCartney is a legend. Jimi Hendrix was a legend. Let's stop tossing this word around and save it for those who deserve it.
shareNo clue who Juice is/was. Had to look Chester up to remember who he was again. Not exactly candidates for the title of "legend".
shareI knew who Juice Wrld was but couldnt name a song. I knew Chester Bennington and Linkin Park, but their music was awful and they did nothing to be labeled as legends.
shareNo idea who Juice was nor do I even care enough to goggle them. Linkin Park except for a couple of songs were crap, I know a bit about Chester's background, the guy was in pain but that doesn't someone a legend.
Same as the term hero being thrown about. It denigrates people who have actually performed deeds to save others.
"Same as the term hero being thrown about"
Same as the term genius being thrown out.
The same as every single large scale theatre production getting a standing ovation.
shareSaw the Swan Lake ballet last year first time I've been to the ballet.
The curtain calls were so staged and pretentious no one was clapping that hard or wanting to see them milk the applause.
That's odd.
I do the Broadway Across America/Canada and every single show people give a standing ovation. Same with dinner theatre or anything really mainstream. It just seems like people think that's what they are supposed to do. If I go to smaller productions, ovations are rarer. They are given when they are actually deserved.
I hate when someone says "they were a hero of mine" referring to an actor or a singer. A hero is someone who saves people or puts their life on the front lines.
shareI enjoy reading rock star bios as they are bubble gum for the brain.
That said most of those guys aren't very nice people so I do have an issue with them being considered heroes.
Haha, Exactly.. No one knew who the hell they were, and as soon as they die, they quickly go buy T-shirts.
shareJuice Wrld may have triggered own death when he allegedly downed pills

This sounds wrong, but if that's true it's pretty funny. He probably wouldn't have gotten any jail time.
