If fluffy can find a way to piss on something, he will.

If wr can find a way to demonstrate his 'superiority', he will.

I respectfully disagree.
Many non edm people have been talking about his death today.
Avicii was all over the mainstream radio with multiple charting tracks.
People knew who he was.

Sadly the same was not true for the recently deceased Cecil Taylor, couldn't even see an obit on BBC news and certainly not two seperate articles plastered over the front page.

With you here, it doesn't really need demonstrating.

Dunno, but there is a big difference between 'insensitive' and 'indifference'. This thread is the living proof of that supposition; people are as sensitive as they are ever!

TBH, i never really saw the point in such condolescence threads anyway. I mean, it's not like anyone of importance to him will take note anyway. If anything, then it's pretty shocking for me that someone dies at the age of 28. I didn't know him, or anyone related to him. Even if i liked, or were a fan of his music, i wouldn't know how it would be more significant to me, as if someone else on the world died, who wasn't as popular, didn't have as much money, and wasn't seen as "important" as Avicii. Sorry if that comes over as cold hearted, it's just the way i feel about it. Of course, i'm sorry for his family, but, what does it matter really? I can't see how any of this would be any relevant to anyone in his "circles".

I don't think this is about that, condolences are just for people to express their own grief/feelings and pass on how that person touched them in their lives. It has a 'processing' function.

Clearly they're for people who like to disrupt condolence threads.

I surely wouldn't have done so, if it wasn't for people criticizing a lack of "sensitivity", which is a bit weird for me, unless you personally knew the person, or you're related to the person, or whatever. Is the relationship to someone you never met in person, but only saw on TV, on the newspaper, or maybe saw him live really that deep that you take offense in that?

I know nothing of his work, but he was obviously popular and respected by those in his field, and 28 is no age to go.

The nutnecks being arsey in this thread would do well to remember the sentiments expressed by the poet John Donne in, 'No Man is an Island';

No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

When it does, 'toll for thee', I'm sure your nearest and dearest would be pleased to know that some knobs on the internet have at least had a bit of fun being snarky and oh so clever about your passing.

This thread is not meant as a discussion about condolence threads afaik. I think that's the whole point. Which causes some confusion amongst certain members it seems. Lack of common sense?

I honestly think a lot of the bitter/rude people are just jealous of his success he had.

Never heard of him, but I am an old fart. Anyone can die from alcohol poisoning if they ingest too much too quickly. Alcohol kills more people than all illicit drugs combined, iirc. Anyways, RIP.

I couldn't care less how sensitive (or not) you happen to be. It's just one of those unspoken 'rules', in threads such as these, that if you've got nothing worth saying then just shut the shit up.

what a nasty disrespectful attitude. You should be ashamed.
