Xxxtentacion wasn't a man I admired, but his artistry was. He pushed the boundaries of art that resonated with me, and many youths. I also had personal grievance with the guy, because he stood up a concert I went to at Concord Music Hall which turned into a news headline riot afterward.  Of course, I had nothing to do with any of that. When he died I immediately started seeing people organizing events to remember and grieve for the art and the character of X. His death followed Lil Peep, Mac Miller, and soon to come Juice Wrld. A whole new wave wiped out. The need for these artists is real, and their images live on in graffiti around Chicago; this includes other sudden deaths like MF DOOM. X's memorial in Chicago was an hours long drunken, public smoking, music bumping, speech giving, Grant Park party. His candles and signs were stepped on but as the party dispersed, those who stayed long and didn't march off reflected quietly at Millennium Monument. Dead Artist Society.
