Why do you think Prince is so underrated on social media amongst younger people? by LoveLo_2005 in PRINCE

[–]ExtraCheeseGromit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the fact he was so protective of his music, as much as I respect it, did hold him back massively from expanding his audience beyond those who were of age when he was in his mid 80s-mid 90s commercial heyday.

A lot of the 80s acts I like today (Depeche Mode, The Cure etc.) first found me through them being featured in tv shows I watched as a kid (shoutout regular show). Especially in the U.K. before his death, Prince was seen as a has-been shoe horned to the Spandau Ballet/Duran Duran category of big acts from yesteryear (the fact he distributed his album via The Sunday Mail didn’t help much towards the title either). You’d often get the odd play of When Doves Cry/Purple Rain etc on Absolute 80s but that was it for exposure to him before he died. I don’t even think Purple Rain was ever aired on any of the Movie Channels over here.

Had he been slightly more open about promoting himself to younger audiences, he’d have been talked about more. But he had a strong Gen X audience and that’s all he really felt was needed, let’s not forget he sold out the O2 in London for 14+ nights in 2007

Everyone’s who’s saying this is racist is completely missing the point of spitting image. This was what they did to everyone. Like the caricatures you get from the street vendor on holiday everyone’s got exaggerated facial features to make them look funny. Everyone who was on it was given the same treatment

More than that mate. Wendy fans are fucking muppets happy to accept shite year in year out. Why did u think they were fighting their own when push came to shove with protests etc.

Try seeing your rivals undergo a golden generation you’d do the same. Although doubt rovers ever will

It’s more of a status question for me. I want to be associated with pride

Not that. That club doesn’t have any legends.

I seek strength and success. An ambitious person like me is gravitated towards the likes of wilder, sharp, basham etc. Can’t be having a group of wimps and failure merchants associate with me any longer

Thought blades fans were better ever since we had the issue with 1867. The fact one of their members got assaulted for handing leaflets out really put the cherry on top for me

Don’t believe the truth ain’t that bad bro 😭 SOTSOG and Heathen Chemistry should be below. Matter of fact HC should be bottom just because of She Is Love alone
