LedRush Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 People keep saying how bad a year this was for celebrity deaths, how the year has been horrible, how they can't wait for 2017. Well, since the advent of movies and the popularization of TV, we've seen a huge increase in the number of celebrities. People who would have been unknown are considered stars, and minor successes are considered superstars with the right dating partner or PR team. We'll keep on getting years with more celebrity deaths than the year before merely because we make so many more each year. Unfortunately, that means that almost every year we should get the same type of hand wringing as we've gotten this year with similar proclamations of it being the worst ever. Anyway, just a thought... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Plus a lot of them are baby boomers, with an age range between 52-70.... This is only going to accelerate/say the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I usually enjoy celebrity deaths. But not so much this year. Probably hitting a bit too close to home, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disembodied Spirit Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Old people die.It's been happening since the beginning of time.WE notice it more because people post news articles constantly, and repost and repost. There is a secret game that is happening where people want to be the 1st to tell 'Their friends'A sort of sick, 'Hey look at me I knew 1st, na na na na nahh'Do you really think back in 1993 people would be concerned if Zsa Zsa Gabor and Debbie Reynolds died?Who would they tell? Their buddy in the cubicle next door?The fact it is on a news feed, on your phone, seems to make it more important than it is 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Agreed 100%. Celebrity culture has gone haywire. We now have professional celebrities with no other real skill other than being popular and famous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Interesting thoughts OP. I didn't really think of it like that but a lot of the people who died this year were already well established stars years before the boom in cable TV creating more well known celebrities. Years down the road we will have to worry about those who are becoming famous now leaving us but not today. I'm more on the side of what Union said about a lot of them being baby boomers who are all getting older at the same time. Combine that with any drugs/alcohol abuse and the crazy life style a rock star or a well known actor may have, then you get people in their late 60s or early 70s who pay the price for that/get sick with something and pass away. Yeah, it's not gonna be much better next year. There's still a bunch of well known people who are getting up there in age that will leave us in 2017 unfortunately.
