So we aren't just making this up, right? Is it just that as we get older we are more aware of the people that pass? Or is 2016 really an anomaly? -- nm

Seems like an anomaly in terms of famous people under 70. I think looms a little larger than it should because we're also noticing those over 70. -- nm - mara Apr 21, 10:32
I would say a combination of the two. A little heavier on 2016 being an anomaly. But also these are people we grew up with so it stands out more. -- nm - sycor Apr 21, 10:29
I think you're just more aware of the passing of famous people, because they are the names you grew up with. -- nm - TWuG Apr 21, 10:28
2016 is definitely an anomaly. It feels like almost every other day at this point. - Jovian Apr 21, 10:28
The latter. The cultural explosion of artists born in the 40's through 60's in older age combined with the expansion of "celebrity" itself. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Apr 21, 10:27 1
- I definitely agree that there are just way more "Famous" people now than there used to be. -- nm - volnelk Apr 21, 10:31
