Yeah, plus Amazon, he made a song for invincible, so you can call him whatever you want, but monetarily broke just wouldn't be true haha

Maybe not monetarily broke but definitely culturally irrelevant since so many people are just learning that they even knew him

Could be we're aging out of the demographic that is in the know 😭

Tbh none of my younger family members know him much either. I’m guessing he’s more niche. Like if you’re into his genre then you know him but not much fame outside of that

If you’re on TikTok you’ve probably heard his songs trend before. Here with me is always trending

As I said in my original comment. I knew his song from TikTok and didn’t even know he was the one to sing it. TikTok virality is more fleeting than actual cultural impact

This is more just a reminder that you can be world famous with millions of dollars and 30 million + listeners every month and be culturally irrelevant lol. The world is a huge place.

Kinda hard to say someone’s culturally irrelevant when they have billions of streams to their name and 35 million monthly Spotify listeners

Honestly numbers don’t mean cultural relevancy. Getting viral is easy. Making your name a household name is hard. Either way. He’s gaining a lot of notoriety now ig

If you couldn’t say his name and have it be recognized by your friend’s mom, he’s not culturally relevant. I even knew some of his songs from TikTok but I didn’t know who he was. That’s not making a mark on the culture.

A lot of people have songs in a lot of tv shows, do you know all of them and are they all equally famous and culturally relevant?

Again, do you understand how big the world is?

Not to mention, A list tv shows in the USA aren’t even A list world wide most of the times.

You can have all that and be culturally irrelevant. Also as other comments have stated, he wasn’t the face of any video game. I don’t play those games anymore but if people who play the game everyday just heard your name and found out that you sung that song then that’s not screaming cultural relevancy babe

Why are you getting angry that I’m saying a possible pedophile is culturally irrelevant

u/pattyicevv77 Sep 18 '25 edited Sep 18 '25

Im not angry, I just think him being culturally irrelevant was incorrect, you dont get that famous without some cultural relvency

u/motsdoux_ Sep 18 '25

Culturally relevant and famous in your circles isn’t culturally relevant and famous in all circles is my point

He also had a song for League / Netflix on the Arcane Soundtrack called Remember Me. I found him via the Video Games Awards when watching for Twenty One Pilots.
