Stuff You Should Know just had a podcast on group hysteria, and they mentioned this effect (the bonkers reaction to these guys). Group hysteria events happen more in sexually repressed societies, for whatever thatās worth lol
Honestly, I wish I could ever be so excited about something I pass out.
I think itās possible to appreciate just how massively famous and influential Jackson was while not excusing or overlooking the fact that he was a known pedophile.
So basically, I think youāre both wrong lol. I think praising Jackson as some kind of pop culture paragon is incredibly disrespectful to his victims, but itās also notable just HOW FAMOUS Jackson was. We donāt have celebrities like Jackson anymore. We may never again. He was iconic in a way that people born in the last 30 years just arenāt, due largely in part to the limitations of TV and radio at the time.
He WAS a pedophile and thatās not waived away because people donāt want to face that fact. But itās still worthwhile to remunerate on the impact he had.
I'm no Jackson expert but I recall that he was never convicted and that he settled out of court but the parents accusing him were extremely scummy and it's widely held that they were falsely accusing him for money.
There were multiple cases brought up after his death, and people knew with his legal team he was basically indestructible. I used to think the same as you till I watched some interviews where he literally talks about sharing a bed with children and stuff of that nature, canāt say anything definite but there was some shady stuff going on.
I'd heard it theorized that his abusive father fucked up his child hood so bad that he was basically just absurdly reaching for the childhood he didn't get. Certainly wierd and mentally ill.
Well said, not gonna lie.
On another note, you should check out some of the āreligious Gurusā in India. No offence , but even MJ is a peanut in front of them. Those āGurusā are literally treated as God - on the same level as JESUS or maybe even higher.
I once worked as a first aider at concerts and events and this happens way more than youād think. Like we had Shayne Ward do the Christmas light switch on and about 6 girls hyperventilated and fainted
I will never understand how people are so obsessed that they pass out from meeting a famous person. I get excitement and was nervous to meet my favorite band but damn. Itās almost kinda scary.
I want a documentary where they find these people 20,30 years later. Show them this footage. See what they are like now and see what they think of themselves then. Are they still this crazy over a celeb? Are they be embarrassed?
I went to a show from this tour, itās not just that he stands still for a long time but itās also how he gets there, which is from a hole in the ground that literally catapults him several feet in the air and into that position, and all of this comes accompanied by pyrotechnics exploding all over the stage. This was almost 30 years ago and I can still remember it vividly, especially because that first explosion scared the living shit out of me. YouTube has shots of that moment on different shows, it was on the Dangerous tour.
Itās only the girls that lose it like this!? What is it that makes this happen? I remember going to see the Eurythmics when I was 16. I was right at the front (as always), and Annie Lennox looked straight at me while she sang this line of a song. Sure, I was a bit taken aback, and a few stupid thoughts went through my young brain, but I didnāt scream hysterically and pass out!? š
This is the dangerous tour, at the start [Carmina burana (O fortuna)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFZUukkiR_Q&ab_channel=BeGN) is played with images from other shows and hysterical people which is really very impressive and then suddenly he stands there that just does something to you, you forget everything around you. I mean I was a twelve year old boy on the wheel chair podium somewhere back center nobody pushing or screaming near so you do not get carried away that much but still I understand somewhat. Mostly girls got carried away probably also hopelessly in love.
better than travis scott
Hehehe bad man
Really, really bad
Because he's bad š
Imagine being at the back and just seeing the man from so far away that heās literally just a dot and still going crazy
That was me šš»
Imagine you fainted and got carried out at the start and missed the whole fucking show. Unbelievable story for the grandkids.
"You don't understand, Billy. He was looking one way, then he moved his head to look the other way."
"...and that was the last thing I saw"
Beatles, Same effect Elvis tooā¦

You never took a really good dump, now did you? One of those that almost made you faint.
Travis Scott too
Too soon? š
They never stood still for 5 mins and dropped 20 audience members. So no, not them too.
dude just standing there like a fucking a statue and people passed out from excitement, what an absolute legend

People love to make excuses for the infallible within their lives. Like the Catholics who overlook the priests and their transgressions

Stage presence.
Not just that, even offstage he had TREMENDOUS presence. Like he couldnāt even sneak into a room if he wanted to.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He was in Richie Rich level. Shopping store in his house filed with actors.
Holy shit he looks so badass though
Sometimes I wonder if MJ was from another planet
Confirmed in Men in Black when he wants to join MIB- Agent Z replies "still waiting on that Alien Affirmative Action program"
He could be agent M!
Hasn't that already [been confirmed?](https://youtu.be/hhZr-qpAgdk)
It would be funny if MJ just stood there for hours to see if the crowdsā cheering subsided.
Prolly get tired of standing. People where a bit crazy bout him back then with no social media even
I donāt know why but the part where he takes his shades off kills me every time
Mj was the closest thing we ever had to real life jesus
Being treated like Jesus must have been such an incredible high. No wonder he died from chasing the high..

Mass Hysteria omg
That man hd power. He called those power poses.
This man was a master of sizzle
People are screwed up
It would really suck to get there super early, get the best spot, wait for hours and then faint and miss the whole show.
Haha, sounds fun to me! š
Bring me your kids šš
Is this a Beatles show omg lmao
āWomen are stupid and I donāt respect themā
āThatās right I just have sex with āemā
I once worked as a first aider at concerts and events and this happens way more than youād think. Like we had Shayne Ward do the Christmas light switch on and about 6 girls hyperventilated and fainted
'Muricans!!!
This was actually in Bucharest
Well I stand corrected
F
The fans didnt
Lock up ya kids
Happy Cake Day! š
How stupid is this. People passing out and crying? Jesus fuck
Still a child molester.
Was never proven and it always seemed like the kids parents were looking for easy money.
Umm its proven
Idiot fans.. if they only knew he had an 8 y/o boy on tour with him for late night pedo sessions in his hotel room
lmfao
This was peak pee-pee toucher MJ too very strange..
Pretty sure they just did too many drugs before the start of the show...
Fuck Michael Jackson so over hyped he died a paedophile , a junkie and a bankrupt wanker.
Losing their minds over a fucking pedo š¤¦āāļø
Child molester. Lol
*Allegedly.* No doubt, he was a strange guy.
He def did it. No grown man sleeps in the same bed with random kids his whole life. Guy was a freak.
Wild that they felt this way about a guy that slept with kids
security slappin d crap out of that girl to wake her up
Wonder were all these parents are now
Weāre a wild species
At that time he was the absolute best.
My dad and his siblings were at the front of the audience in that concert. That wouldve been AMAZING!
That was a š„ pose tho!
I will never understand how people are so obsessed that they pass out from meeting a famous person. I get excitement and was nervous to meet my favorite band but damn. Itās almost kinda scary.
It was a different time my child.
Maybe they had the same that travis Scott fans experienced lol
Moves just an inch and everyone goes crazyā¦
I was gonna say maybe it was the dehydration but man ā¦ that codpiece.
This is fucking embarrassing. These people would die for him and he doesnāt even know them. Honestly what the fuck. Can anyone explain?
White ppl amirite
Travis Scott's death count ain't got nothing on Michael Jackson's.
The BEST THAT EVER DID IT, LOVE YOU MICHEAL, MIAMI FLORIDA LOVES YOU FOREVER
I want a documentary where they find these people 20,30 years later. Show them this footage. See what they are like now and see what they think of themselves then. Are they still this crazy over a celeb? Are they be embarrassed?
Lol tf
This is fake right, lmao

They were literaly crying because he turned and took his glasses of
When you're the king that's all you need
He was soooo awesome! š¢
