Warning: my old coworker in Reno kept a shrine to a dead singer and it made me rethink this whole sub
Back in 2019 I worked with a prep cook named Dana at a diner off Virginia Street in Reno, and she had a photo of Jeff Buckley taped inside her locker with a little fake flower. One slow Tuesday she caught me rolling my eyes at it and just said, "You don't have to like him, you just have to admit most people only bring him up so they look deep." That line stuck with me for 6 years because it's the exact thing this sub argues about, just without the internet yelling. So who is the dead famous person you think folks only name-drop to seem cool, and did someone in real life ever call you out for it?

Kurt Cobain is the big one for this, mostly because he's been dead long enough that saying his name doesn't cost you anything and nobody can argue with it. If you want a real test, try working somewhere for a year and see who actually brings him up verses who just has the Nevermind poster in their apartment.
