What an era to be alive in for Michael Jackson fans.
I've been a fan since I was around 6, introduced by my father who listened to him since the 80s and the Jackson 5 days. My whole family were fans (me and my parents and 1-year older brother). When MJ died in 2009 I was 8 (I was born in 2001), and it devastated us.
I was young, didn't know the controversies then. As I grew up and learned of the child abuse allegations, I never believed them, not for a moment. And later found countless evidence of his innocence after the Epstein case. My father always believed MJ was killed (proven true in 2011). I always knew that he was a kind soul who'd never harm children, hounded by media, suffering his whole life from an abusive father, stolen childhood, and medical issues (lupus, vitiligo, the infamous Pepsi commercial burns). Yet he never stopped loving, giving, wanting that childhood innocence.
During adolescence he slipped from my memory, almost forgotten. Then the Epstein case revealed his innocence, the biopic arrived, and MJ mania exploded like the 80s again at the peak of his popularity. My social media feed is FLOODED by his content, I'm playing his songs nonstop (41 in my playlist), talking about him to my mom that I'm sure she's fed up with me by now, and I can't stop thinking about him, and I find myself grieving him.
I'M OBSESSED AND I'M NOT SORRY WHATSOEVER!!!
I'm over the moon to see Michael regain his deserved recognition. Nearly 17 years dead and still breaking records, appearing on billboard charts, streaming globally. Many fade over history, but MJ never dies. He lives in people's memory, he thrives, he influences new generations, and takes the world by storm.
I don't even know what'll happen to me on his death anniversary this 25th.
Again... What an era to live in as Michael Jackson fans.
Once a Moonwalker, always a Moonwalker.
