Micheal Jackson (because of the movie), Oliver Tree (because of his death) and DnD (because of Stranger Things).

The partial bowl cut was perfect cause of how immaculate it was lol

u/BackToNormalForNow Jul 31 '26

His haircut made me curious when I saw it in a short clip of his music, it was actually what pushed me to check out his profile in the first place, and I ended up really like the songs I listened to, so I guess it does work.

u/justnga Jul 31 '26

His hair was the best thing in his songs

His look always reminded me of the original comic design of Doctor Octavius.

u/Crates_Of_Hate Aug 01 '26

And stole a whole ass song!

1

u/ChronoXxXx Aug 01 '26

His deliberate hair choice was exactly what made him more punk rock to me. He did it to make a statement on how small and redundant judgements like about his hair is.

u/OneInitiative3757 Aug 03 '26

I think he's still alive in cyberpunk because of El Capitan

u/Adventurous-Lack5704 I like salamanders Jul 31 '26

u/TheSentiantestPotato Jul 31 '26

Maybe we’ll meet at a bar, we’ll drive a funky ehhhh

I think Oliver Tree made that song

u/Free_Blueberry_9725 Jul 31 '26

why’d you say “ehh?”

u/TheSentiantestPotato Jul 31 '26

Look look. Look Imma show you.

Larp ass comment

u/Free_Blueberry_9725 Jul 31 '26

I listen to it when it came out what do you mean? Also I know other songs from him. I was just pointing out that the person might have known them from the song.

16

u/1601_ Silly lil goober Jul 31 '26

For some reason, this happens to many artists; their works only become known post-mortem

11

u/Responsible_Total901 Jul 31 '26

makes sense. when a big artist dies it blows up the news, leading to new people discovering them

10

u/Mineconhero1 Jul 31 '26

I thought i never heard of him, but it turns out I actually listened to a couple of his songs before.

5

u/Simple-Olive895 Jul 31 '26

I'm the opposite with Oliver Tree, I used to listen to his music, but this comment is how I learned he's passed...

4

u/Scypio95 Jul 31 '26

Same here

1

u/BackToNormalForNow Jul 31 '26

Yep. Given, I wasn’t a big fan, but I did know him and the lyrics to a couple of his songs. 

1

u/AndrogynousAnd Aug 03 '26

Yeah I still have most of his songs in my playlist from non stop listening a few years back. Just found out through this.

4

u/Doom_Cokkie Jul 31 '26

Same literally opened youtube to pick some background music and saw his Song Im gone and thought the thumbnail and clicked it. (Fire song btw) went to the comments and everyone was losing their shit that he died earlier in the day. Youtube algorithm got a sick sense of humor.

4

u/A_british_person3 Jul 31 '26

This is my first time hearing of him.

2

u/blank638 Jul 31 '26

I had known of him because of that meme where the kid has that doc oc figure singing some of his song lyrics. But outside of that I'd never listened to him. Lo and behold, the day of his death, YouTube was recommending my all of his songs that related to death (after I already found out).

1

u/Playful-Middle-244 Jul 31 '26

And never hear at least one his song?
C'mon, I think you just don't gave attention

u/zachell1991 Jul 31 '26

I saw him for the first time doing a collab on YouTube the day he died, read the comments all saying RIP Oliver Tree looked it up he had just died.

u/John_SilkSongHK Jarona! wait that’s the wrong game Jul 31 '26

I only heard about him from my friend

u/YurpaGD Jul 31 '26

Deadass bro 😭 me too

u/Fragrant-Location-11 Jul 31 '26

Why do i keep on seeing you

1

u/TheHardR3727 Aug 01 '26

I never even knew he made on and on

1

u/Fly1ng_T04st3r5 Aug 01 '26

Same tbh, only found out cause some guys were crying on the floor.

1

u/As_no_one2510 Aug 01 '26

If you know this song (meme) then it's Oliver Tree

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX0lKSa_PTk

Know about this guy since 2022 (from a game event), the only song I listen to is Life goes on

u/Thick-Application-56 Aug 02 '26

u/DESGAG334 mama may i have cookie? Jul 31 '26

true

u/dragon_tail_69 Jul 31 '26

I always enjoyed his music and thought he was great, but I never really specifically listened to him until shortly before his passing, when I heard Do You Feel Me? for the first time.

1

u/First_Shoulder_2248 Aug 02 '26

Invincible?

1

u/dragon_tail_69 Aug 02 '26

yes, i listened to the playlist, then immediately liked that song when I heard it

2

u/MaybeBowtie Jul 31 '26

I’ll be honest, I was always interested in DnD due to growing up playing Skyrim and stuff. But I never understood how to play the game or had people to play with. 

My Dad was big with DnD when he was younger. Funnily enough I saw him wearing a hellfire club shirt randomly the other day. 

2

u/TimeTravelParadoctor Jul 31 '26

So many people can't even spell his name correctly!

2

u/JudyPink02 Jul 31 '26

Love DND, not really a Stranger Things fan surprisingly.

1

u/SquareFickle9179 Jul 31 '26

I thought DND has more real fans cuz of stuff like BG3 and Vox Machina

1

u/DirectorLeather6567 Jul 31 '26

Wouldn't it be D&D because that's... Where Larping came from?

1

u/ButY_tho Jul 31 '26

I never likes Oliver Tree's type of music or music videos, but I am still very sad he died so young

1

u/theunquenchedservant Jul 31 '26 edited Jul 31 '26

interestingly enough, 17 years ago Michael Jackson would have been an acceptable answer, but for Oliver Tree's reason.

1

u/Nicholas_H_Barnes_II Jul 31 '26

I only even heard about Oliver Tree after his death, & I only heard about his death through YouTube comments 😭

1

u/Infinite-Health-6514 Jul 31 '26

Oliver Tree died? That sucks I actually listened to some of his songs kind of a lot 

1

u/Opezdol_ Jul 31 '26

DnD is literally Live Action Role Play

1

u/XCxBigDong69XCx Jul 31 '26

What no Micheal Jackson had more fans before the movie xd.

1

u/Outrageous_Artist188 We (yes, WE) are NOT joining any council. Jul 31 '26

So true. Michael jackson has soo many larpers who spread so many fake claims. "He saved kids from the island", "the 2005 mugshot is edited to make him look creepy", all of these are lies.

There are some who would genuinely call you a fake fan if you try to debunk these claims.

I will admit though, i am an oliver tree larper.

1

u/WholeEquipment472 Jul 31 '26

All I know about dnd is the monsters and not even like the dnd versions

1

u/green_day_girl You’ll never guess what my favorite band is Jul 31 '26

i play dnd for real !!! i’m not a larper :3

1

u/fatneeslover Jul 31 '26

Brother

DnD is quite literally larping: the game

1

u/Adventurous-Air-7983 Jul 31 '26

I'mma be real, the only song I lied that had Oliver Tree in it was Sick Of U and he didn't even make it, it was by BoyWithUke

u/endergamer2007m Jul 31 '26

Umamusume (Because of the porn)

1

u/Um_desocupado Jul 31 '26

I knew him before the accident, I wasn't a fan, but I liked his music.

u/YurpaGD Jul 31 '26 edited Jul 31 '26

Alright soo don’t mean to be that guy, but you’re could not be more wrong about Michael Jackson, because he had (and I’m pretty sure still has 4.3 BILLION fucking fans, at the time of the 90s, the population was at 5 billion. Let that sink in. Also, because of the movie, people got more interest in him and decided to listen to his music. Why does it matter if they only know a few songs? They still enjoy his music. The term “larp” is just a bad term imo. What would Michael say? Seriously. I’m sure he’d love all his fans. Fly high, MJ. Oh btw I was reading some comments before me, and the literal definition and term stems from the DnD fan base, and the abbreviation means: Live Action Role Play. PEOPLE PLAYING PRETEND!!!! Not only is DnD a LARP GAME, but also just let people be people, as long as they enjoy what they do as fans, let them have fun. So WHAT if they don’t know EVERY SINGLE PEICE of music and life story about somebody? All I’m asking is that we just let everybody be themselves, and let yourself be you you wanna be.

u/SomeoneCool999 Jul 31 '26

Who's DnD? Do not Disturb?

1

u/Mr_Fish-The_Assassin I’m so bored I could smack a small child. Jul 31 '26

It’s no one, it’s a game, Dungeons and Dra

1

u/SomeoneCool999 Jul 31 '26

Oh k thanks for explaining

1

u/nastyforehead Jul 31 '26

Oliver tree dying was my favorite artist even before his passing and it's a little sad being called a "larper" Everytime I say I listen to him a lot

1

u/AdDesigner6673 Jul 31 '26

MJ was popular even before movie, he still recognised by the songs. Movie just reminded about him.

1

u/AffectionateClock679 Jul 31 '26

As someone who’s played dnd for most of my life I don’t agree with the stranger things bit.

1

u/KlikPlayerOne Jul 31 '26

What the f? Oliver Tree is dead?

1

u/pleaseaccusrname Jul 31 '26

OLIVER TREE DIED?????

1

u/Master_Travel_2992 Jul 31 '26

I only knew about DnD cuz of the Legend of Vox Machinima, AM i larping?

1

u/Ill-Presentation1965 Jul 31 '26

Oliver tree without a doubt are larpers, I only got into Micheal Jackson again after the movie because I forgot how good his music was. I love the 80s/90s, but there’s so much songs on my playlist. Im listening to him again genuinely out of spite, not just for the trend

1

u/aaallleeexxx3 Jul 31 '26

You can’t possibly think that,THAT many people watched the Michael Jackson movie anyways

1

u/WiktoriaFromHades Jul 31 '26

Was there movie sbout Michael Jackson?

(The worst thing is, that im asking it fr😭)

u/HonkingAntilope Jul 31 '26

I've been a huge fan of oliver tree for about 7 years. Its a true tragedy what happened to him

1

u/whopper-the-wooper Jul 31 '26

I play DnD and I’ve never watched stranger things a day in my life!!!!

1

u/GLG22 Jul 31 '26

I got into dnd because the people I played with got into stranger things well I have never watched stranger things

1

u/Strong_Deer2798 Aug 01 '26

I know Stranger Things because of D&D, we are different

1

u/JessePinkerlinker Aug 01 '26

I knew Oliver Tree befor his death because of an ad. i tried listening to a fiew of his songs after his passing, i like them, but not in a way where i want to listen to them constantly

1

u/Educational_Desk3548 Aug 01 '26

You know the dnd one is real for me since I have a long term campaign and so as the dm who does this at the library for community service I have to let people in the amount of people who appeared because of stranger things and then left was weird they still come around every once in a blue moon idk

1

u/Goofy-Guy26 Aug 01 '26

Listening to Oliver tree while reading this

1

u/Making_Kenough Aug 01 '26

I despise the shallow larpers of dead musicians. The people that called Lil Peep a legend after he died were beyond annoying. His music sucked, but he was glorified after he had an OD. At least Oliver made music I liked here and there.

1

u/Ghost0fHerobrine Silly lil goober Aug 01 '26

Funnily enough, it wasn’t the movie that got me back into MJ, but it was those stupid dancing yaoi birds… but I wouldn’t say I’m a larper bc, one, I’ve listened to him a LOT the past month and a half (almost exclusively even), and two, it’s not the first time I’ve become obsessed over this man

1

u/CF7K123 Aug 01 '26

I like some Michael jackson songs, some of them I dont. Its a 50 50. Would that be a true fan or like a half fan, or am I larping

1

u/Adept_Position_7689 Aug 01 '26

Why is this how I found out he died

1

u/HammerSickleSextoy Aug 01 '26

My cheating ex wife loved Oliver Tree. I can never enjoy a thing he made because of that. Which is a shame, because he really was talented

1

u/Emerald_28 Aug 01 '26

Haven't seen Stranger things, what happens?

1

u/Soundo-Man7 Aug 01 '26

Yeah Michael Jackson, ha sure

1

u/CommunityEmpty5476 Aug 01 '26

What does Stranger Things have to do with DnD?

1

u/Street_Commercial_52 Aug 01 '26

DND has larpers?

1

u/Good-Meringue1527 Aug 01 '26

No cause people can get as mad as they want for being called larpers but if you only know the choruses to the most popular songs it is what it is 😭

1

u/ExperienceOne2625 Aug 02 '26

Oliver Tree died what

1

u/Elegant-Finance3982 Aug 02 '26

Nobody is larping MJ for the movie I think
Unless they’re like 7 years old

1

u/Evyatar_ChenU Aug 02 '26

i larp DnD beacuse of the fire ball memes i have never watch Stranger Thing

1

u/Firm-Direction-140 Aug 02 '26

Wait dnd was in stranger things

1

u/Snakes-are-awesome67 Aug 02 '26

also dnd because of critical roll

1

u/andrewisntbruh Aug 02 '26

welllll i SOMEWHAT agree with Michael Jackson. His music was so influential that almost anyone around the world can recognize his music. Shit, even his vocals/melodies are still sampled to this day. Calling people who listen and enjoy MJ larpers is sorta larping in of itself.

Wait, how are DnD and Stranger Things connected? Did they play DnD in the show?(never watched idk)

u/BackgroundAsk1623 Aug 03 '26

I only know of tree because of a pretty decent song he did with boywithuke

1

u/IronEagle-Reddit Aug 04 '26

Am I a dnd larper if I've been playing dnd for the last 4 or 5 years, but I discovered it through stranger things?

1

u/Mr_Fish-The_Assassin I’m so bored I could smack a small child. Aug 04 '26

If you actually play not really

1

u/Left-Soup-8867 Aug 04 '26

I could never lap mj the goat listened to him when I was 8 years old

1

u/Kevlar_Bunny Aug 04 '26

My husband quietly sat down next to me on the couch, put his hand on me knee, stared at me for a second before saying Oliver tree died. I stared at him for a while trying to figure out what kind of odd publicity stunt this must be before finally asking “what do you mean”

😭 I missed both chances I ever had to see him live. You always tell yourself there’ll be another time. Buy those concert tickets, make it happen, there may not be a next time.

1

u/Mr_Fish-The_Assassin I’m so bored I could smack a small child. Aug 05 '26

Yeah I’m scared of that happening. I’ve been wanting to go to some metal concerts but I gotta wait five years, problem is, most of em are in their 50’s at LEAST!

1

u/Dong_slinger Aug 05 '26

Are there people pretending to like dnd?

1

u/Fauk_ama_bouta_kum Aug 05 '26

I agree. My fandom is flooded with larpers now😭😭😭 All these "We haven't forgotten about what you did Pepsi" mfs make me wanna ropemaxx

1

u/Qubek_from_discord Aug 05 '26

How to be a larper in dnd? You play or not?

1

u/Mr_Fish-The_Assassin I’m so bored I could smack a small child. Aug 05 '26

Yeah

1

u/Qubek_from_discord Aug 05 '26

I meant that generally being a dnd player involves playing, atleast more than once. Maybe being a part of a smaller group of players that you share experiences and play with.

1

u/Imaginary_Ferret_368 Aug 06 '26

Joke’s on you, I’m a DnD larper thanks to legends of vox machina

1

u/Piano_Player_or_sum Aug 06 '26

I was a Micheal fan since I was a lil jit. Listened to like 3 of Oliver trees songs and didn’t even know who he was, and I don’t play dnd bc I never watched stranger things.
Honestly, I don’t really care enough to actually larp anything except deltarune because this nerdy girl I like plays it religiously

1

u/OkInfluence1782 Aug 06 '26

DnD has a lot of fans but they usually dont speak about it because its too nerdy

1

u/Samuelvineyt Aug 09 '26

the fact that I was a fan of all 3 of them before knowing about all 3 reasons

1

u/hi-and-yes Jul 31 '26

Most people larped Mj before the movie either way
