Aaron And Nick Carter, 1997

is it really november 5th if there's not worldwide breaking news via a destiel meme

damn, rest in paradise aaron carter. he was only 34.

i know people said it would’ve been a matter of time in his case, but fuck me, is it still sad.

just another chew up and spit out from the hollywood machine. hope he finds more peace in the next life than in this one.

I really haven’t been keeping up with all the shit going on with Aaron Carter lately but damn if that dude wasn’t just everywhere while I was growing up. You could always count on him to have a track on damn near every single thing you would be watching. That Liberty’s Kids intro went hard. To hear the news is just really unfortunate.

Oh, Aaron.

He was the most troubled and messed-up person I've ever met in my life, but he was also one of the most charismatic. His Jukebox Tour, which is LOST to the Internet, was the most well-produced, danced, and arranged concert I've ever seen.

If he had different parents, things might not have ended this way, but I think that oversimplifies the demons that man had.

Everyone deserves a support system, and ALL child stars should have non-familial advocates in their corners to be that support system when their parents can't or, in the Carters' case, won't. I want to think Aaron was among the last generation of truly exploited child stars, but...

Anyway, I will never again, in my life, feel an adrenaline rush like realizing that I was seeing Aaron Carter's sandwich roll past on the craft services cart. That was the best night of my life.

If you're looking for song recommendations to mourn: "It's Just You," "To All the Girls," and "Hey You" are my favorites.

And rapping the entirety of "Aaron's Party" is my party trick forever.

i used to listen to this song on a fucking loop for days on end rip to the creator of our national anthem

“It was really the most accidental thing to happen in lockdown. It wasn’t like, ‘It’s three o’clock, it’s time to write a song!’ It was just messing around on a piano and singing badly and being overheard and then thinking, you know, what if we tried to get to the end of it together? Sending it to Justin with the idea of doing a duet and getting voice notes back of him singing over the top and stuff was surreal. It was a perk of lockdown. It was fun to do it together, and I was proud of it. It was nice getting such a positive reception. [On if there's a version of “exile” with him singing on it] Jesus, there’s probably a voice note somewhere that should be burned.”
