That's just not true Millions of kids do know who MJ was and his impact on the world. Thriller is the biggest selling album of all time, having that kind of success doesn't limit you to one generation.Originally Posted by Enchanted1

I meant the percentages of numbers, like if MJ had 30 million followers in 1985, that most def surpasses 30 mil in 2011. With all the venues that are available to artists today. I think you would agree that it is easier to reach more people today than it has ever been. You said it is generational and it is, the internet generation.
As far as things being generational, you have to understand there there are MILLIONS of people in 2011 (kids/teens/young adults) who don't understand OR care for Michael Jackson and the "impact" he had in the entertainment industry.
You're missing the point.
In your life and those around you, what's The Beatles impact? For as great as they were, there are millions of people who just don't care. Same can be said for MJ. Again, it's generational. MJ's impact with some kids/teens/young adults in 2011 will be FAR less than what it would have been if this was the 1980's. %*%%...there are probably kids now who think more highly of Justin Bieber's impact than MJ. It all goes back to things being generational.
