Pffffttt!
I never went in full depth to like him. I went to the show he had at the palladium and recently in oct with jhene aiko and school boy q at the bowl. I admit he throws a good live show. The ladys were really ready to sacrifice themselves to this dude. I just don't know. I have some songs of his I bought on iTunes "codeine cups" "one of those nights". That's it. I was there to see jhene. That's my boo thang low key. lol

I was kidding for the most part. I understand that some people won't vibe with it. That's expected, as music is subjective. But I can assure you, none of us in here are kidding when we proclaim our appreciation or love for his music. We genuinely believe dude has a gift never seen before. 
Maybe try giving one of his complete bodies of work a full listen through. You may end up liking it, you may not. Either way there are worse ways to spend an hour of your life.

His music serves as a soundtrack to a lifestyle these dudes really like. That's why they're being so weird. but no they're not joking. Maybe no artist ever made them feel this way. I love his music. Got HOB the actual month it dropped but idk..he's not the first artist to make music describing my lifestyle so I don't spazz and go overboard about it. But you should check out HOB if you haven't

Ill go on the tunes and download it while at work and prep this for the drive home on the freeway. Ill let you guys know how it goes. lol. HOB you say? I just remembered I have the kissland album but I haven't listened to it yet. Im thinking I should start with the old stuff before jumping to current to get a feel for this cat.

Save HOB for last cuz it pretty much is widely regarded as his best work

definitely listen to HOB first. It makes it easier to "get" the rest of it. If you jump straight into Thursday, you're gonna be lost. Plus, with a new artist, you should listen to the best stuff first. His discography works pretty damn well if you listen to it in order anyway.

I agree, just listen to his music in succession. I think it's meant to be that way and if you listen to say Kiss Land first you will probably not like him

We may joke here and there but I doubt anyone worships him as a person, just the music and what it means to all of us.. to me anyway. It's a lifestyle.. the music and the life is one in the same

Agreed. We don't worship Abel Tesfaye... Just the music he makes as The Weeknd.

its not surprising to see ppl run with emotion over a music artist ( or any artist) though
granted some reactions are extremely over the top, but things/people have different meanings to everyone

saw him twice in one weekend, a couple weeks ago, in vegas...
once in a huge festival setting, and once in a club (hakkasan)...
seeing him perform "the morning" in an intimate setting like a club > the concert...

Yes man. Yes to all of this.
The Observatory show was an experience I'll remember forever. The girls. Chilled with a random I met all night... regret not keeping in touch

Man look...
When he came to Atlanta in 2012, it was a weekday where I had a test in my night class that I couldn't miss.
2013 this breezy I had was going to take me to KL as a birthday gift since the Atlanta stop was a few days before my birthday. She bought the tickets and everything! But we fell out over me not wanting to be in a real relationship so she said "**** you a blinkin" and tells me she gave the tickets to one of her home girls. I couldn't even finesse the situation after that.
This year he does this four city tour and sadly Atlanta wasn't one of the stops.
Three Falls of taking Ls
