Do teens take music too seriously?

[Alte]

You probably heard about Juice WRLD's death, which is sad but surely nothing major? DD's spent the whole day in her room listening to his songs, she's been crying over it, apparently spoken about it on Snapchat etc etc. The same thing happened 2 years ago with Lil Peep, she still hasn't got over it. She seems to think her whole life has been shaped around Lil Peep. AIBU to think it's just music, yes it's sad that they're dead but she never knew them or anything? I liked Queen and The Beatles as much as the next person, but I never felt like that about them. Is she taking it too seriously, or was she right to call me "insensitive" and "heartless"? For context, she's not usually an emotional person and didn't even care when her grandparents siblings died.

'We mourn them not because we knew them, but because they helped us know ourselves'. Music is powerful.

YABU. I cried when Bros didn't win a Brit award 😆

Yes teens take music too seriously but that's par for the course! Can you support her to do something like buy flowers or send a condolence note to any other band members or family or something? I have no idea who the people mentioned are! There must be somewhere fans can send something though. I'd just show her you care about her feelings even if you don't care about the person who died.

Zombie thread!! I looked up the artist and he died in 2019!

Taylor hawkins of the foo fighters band just died, my 50 year old mum cried all day he was a big idol of hers and was upset she never got to go see him play (she's a drummer) i don't understand why mourning an idol is such a bad thing i was broken when amy winehouse died, that artist meant nothing to you but probably meant a lot to your daughter
