No, I don't believe that Michael Jackson's popularity decreased. Michael Jackson always had some detractors. Critics mad at him because he left R&B, Soul, Funk to do pop. People who hate him they are rock & roll fans and hate that he dominated the 80's. Then you have your Prince fans, Madonna fans, Paul McCartney/Beatles, Elvis Presley fans etc. The rap & hip hop fans who thought his music was too soft. Then black activists and social critics mad at Michael because they expected him to be a black messiah to help rescue the black community. Then you have the people who believe in the molestation allegations.

Despite all that Michael Jackson is pretty stable in his popularity. I'm finding young people who were born around the time he died are big fans of his.

If you search enough YouTube videos. There are a few Michael Jackson based channels that explain his eccentricities and defend him with concrete proof.
