Richie.Valdez Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 It depends on where are you from. We cannot pretend she was global because she wasn't but in the countries where she was renowned her impact is real 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR0GO Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 7 hours ago, LikeATattoo said: Janet is actually eerily omnipresent in popular music. Her impact and influence are profoundly vast. Some uncultured people not being able to name numerous songs of hers says more about them than it does about her. She's a little bit like Blues music, in this context. Most people (particularly past a certain age/generation) can't name many famous Blues musicians, but those Blues artists are still the most important musicians of the 20th century, and we encounter their domineering influence throughout all modern music; this is despite the mass-inability to attach faces to said influence (itself a symptom of societal and global anti-blackness, but that's a whole essay). And speaking of race—because it's inevitably the purple elephant in these conversations, whether non-black people care to admit it or not—Janet will always be relevant (and deified) within black communities and spaces. TL;DR: Janet is an indisputable legend. Disrespect towards her reflects a wider cultural issue, which you've clearly chosen to be a part of.

Bloodflowers. Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 She is not forgotten, her legacy however is poorly promoted within the current GP memory due to the ban. Her team needs to put more work on promoting her impact and music to modern audiences, especially newer generations 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narid Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Sadly yes. She has core fans and is a legend in her own right, but she is now mostly forgotten by the general public (even more so outside the US). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKKIMO92 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Her career was completely killed during 2000s making people born from 90s rarely hear about her. Prior to blacklist, her older songs are getting the same level of reply value of Whitney in the state. Once we entered the streaming era, she is a long independent artist with family management, they don't pay a single dime to promote her legacy via playlists which is much more easy and convenient compared to radio era. Her popularity is up by a lot after her doc gone viral. I think we are lucky at what we are now. Her touring stats more than double after the doc and has some genuine international appeal. Releasing a album with some proper single can give her some push indeed but Janet is in such a comfortable period and has other priorities like her son to consider in her plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naval23 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Nope. The stability she had from 1986-2001 was insane and she still scored a #1 album in 2015. The impact is still there. Her team puts no effort into cultivating her online presence though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her impact and influence on the modern popular music landscape are astonishingly vast. Uncultured rodents being unable to name numerous songs of hers says more about them than it does about her.

That the greater majority of people are unable to attach specific faces to said influence is moreso a statement about both societal and global anti-blackness, but that's an entire dissertation that I can't be bothered to type up on a Sunday (mind you, OP doesn't seem intellectually equipped to receive and digest the aforementioned in the first place). And speaking of race—the purple elephant in these conversations that non-black people are so comedically determined to ignore—Janet will always be relevant (and deified) within black communities and spaces.

Funnyfatty Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Yes she is forgotten. Time passes by and all her fans who grew up to her will die. She doesn't have a song on the radio for more than 20 years. That is a mistake on her behalf. The only song i know of her is Don't Stop and that is also because of the radios. Her dumb team or whatever can do something to promote her catalogue. Mariah and Madonna are legends and icons for that. Both have nice streaming numbers. Even Dolly Partons team promoted her catalogue she has HUGE hits on spotify for being 700 years old. Janet doesn't have 1 song that sticks out or get played. I hear SO MANY old songs from the 70s, 80s all the time everywhere but NEVER Janet. idc if someone on this website writes a paragraph, this is the truth. She doesn't have 5 songs above 100m streams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
