All of their contributions to society suddenly disappears. The awe it gifted. The inspiration it sparked. All gone poof. They deserve no credit. /s

It's simple. A good song doesn't stop being good just because the one singing it is a piece of shit.

Then why did they stop showing The Cosby Show? Why did they stop playing MJ's music for a while after the documentary? Why did comedians accused of MeToo have their specials pulled?

I can understand not separating the art from the artist if you're in a particular music scene -- like you're in your local punk/hardcore/metal scene, and you actively have to engage with that individual and may run into them when you're playing/booking shows. When you're in a tightly knit community, then yeah - you don't want toxic people in it.

But as far as mainstream music goes? Don't act like every single mainstream artist is completely blameless. Money definitely causes people to do some sketchy shit once they're bored and they've done all they can legally do with their money/influence. Typical answers - but the dude from Led Zeppelin, Elvis, David Bowie, John Lennon, etc. have all done terrible shit involving the opposite sex.

People with twisted minds and fucked up beliefs make some of the most compelling art imo, why limit your own experience over some specific idea in someone's head?

Him being a shitty person doesn't mean his music is suddenly no longer good.

But refusing to listen to his music because he's a shitty person is perfectly acceptable.

This.

But if it were someone whose music I liked, it wouldn't affect my enjoyment of their old stuff in the slightest.

Terrible people can create great things. If we found out Jonah Salk ate babies I'd still be for vaccinations. We found out that MLK was kind of a shit bag in his personal life but no one is going to deny his positive effects on society.

Afraid of it costing them money due to outrage culture more likely.

Anyways never listened to him But i still like some michale Jackson songs if that answers the question.

David Bowie probably had sex with more underage girls than the number of great albums he had. Im still gonna jam all the great material he recorded. Listen to your R. Kelly and watch Chris Benoit matches.


Did anyone try to disgrace David Bowie over it?

Man, I wont tell someone to turn off his music if they start playing it and I wont pretend like I dont enjoy it but his music is about f****** and, I can only imagine, that its inspired by his own sexual experiences and his experience is f****** lil girls so....yeah it kind of ruins his songs.

And I get the separating the art from the artist reasoning, I still bop out to MJ

At least MJ was acquitted though and there's no actual evidence that he did anything illegal.

When someone doesnt like what an artists produces 99% of them will get on the artist-from-art soapbox. But when they do, its all about exceptions.
