If you'd like to argue against points I actually made, hmu.

Don't know if you're just being smarmy, but this is a really ****ed sentiment. We won't know what the inciting incident was (or if there even was one), but suicidal ideation might consume one's life one night and when they wake up the next day they're very happy they didn't do it. Speaking from experience.

I wouldn't argue Chuck Berry is obscure, but he's not as culturally known as Elvis Presley, as the most rudimentary use of statistics shows (Chuck Berry spike coincides with his death):

Yes, Elvis is more famous than Chuck Berry. This has no bearing on the point I was making.

Think they'd at least recognize Johnny B Goode, wrong person?

maybe, doubt they would be able to name the artist though. not that Chuck Berry isn't well know, but he definitely is very very very far from being a popular artist amongst teenagers, or even a household name for them. my anecdotal is irrelevant here anyway though because i think Jansz was trying making a broader point than that.

Not popular among that age group, most certainly. Not a household name? Little more uncertain on that.

you think most 16 year olds could tell you who Chuck Berry is? negative.

Let me go find a 16 year old hang on.

Could a 16 year old name a Linkin Park song I wonder?
