‘Saturday Night Live’ comedian Pete Davidson had a very public breakup with a popular singer who has fans that some how think being a fan means you get to self-riotously harass someone online with some fictional authority. This is a growing issue as we go into the murky deeper digital waters of social media merging with fandom for music and art we are passionate for. The negative side of ‘stan culture’ has got to stop there is no reasonable moral defense of this, considering no one is deserving knowing why two famous people stopped dating. The faceless ‘fan accounts’ with avatar of the artist they support out spreading this emotional venom has been tolerated too long.
Maybe it’s corny to say this, but I ‘stan’ for stopping negative things like this.
Davidson is dealing with this in a very classy and considerate way for people who have dealt with similar mental health challenges. Those same health problems are something we in the alternative music have seen expressed in song and endured by those that both make the music and those that enjoy it. So it’s important to listen to this with empathy and support.
He even joked about the breakup in very grand fashion.
