Did you stop listening to Gary Glitter, Lostprophets, Michael Jackson etc. once you found out the crimes they did?

Badlands, yeah. Not that you can find their catalog anyway.

Stopped listening to Motley as they have committed felonies to my ears and eyes.

I have pulled away from MJ the molester and his brothers over the years.

A good buddy of mine has a brilliant and twisted sense of humor. His wedding was in April 2019 up near Chico. It was around the time of the HBO doc about MJ and Wade Robson and society’s most recent round of vowing to never listen to MJ again.

Reception starts, no DJ, just a playlist he made going through a PA. The first 45 minutes was standard wedding dance floor stuff.

Then MJ came on. Not just any MJ song. PYT. Everyone (100+ people) danced the fuck out of it. Not one fuck was given, and I don’t think anyone else bothered noticing the irony of the song choice. Because, really, hardly anyone actually cares enough to follow through with ditching artists they like who turn out to be bad people.

I’m sure my friend was very pleased with his trolling skills that night. He made a good point.

I never listened to Lost Prophets. I can't condone that kind of shit. I hate torture but hearing about that prick the other day was good.

You forgot Iced Earth. I was never a fan but I have to think that band is done.

Not that I cared much about Great White before, but haven't went out of my way to listen to them since The Station.
Was meh as far as Beck, but haven't went out of my way to listen to him since I found out about Scientology.
I actually checked out Lostprophets & Ryan Adams after they got busted. Haven't listened since, as I don't remember them being that great.
I'll still crank and love GG Allin, though. So to answer the original question, some, it depends.

I've dropped all social media offenders
