What is it about Bjork that makes people get so obsessive? My brother back in the late 90s was pretty obsessed with her and Sup Forums is kind of the same way.
I love her music and a lot of her specific albums but the waifuing is beyond me.

It's literally any popular figure at all.

Celebrities have almost demigod status and have more documentation than legitimate historical figures.

This does not blend well with the mentally ill, who have the time and the dedication to consume an entire world produced by a person.

>to consume an entire world produced by a person.

an entire alternate life to fill the void of those not fulfilling there own?..... dam ye this shit me hard for some raisin

it was her nymph image that weirdos tend to find attractive

Sup Forums obsesses over her because those old pics still exist and of course this board is full of weirdos

>Sup Forums obsesses over her
>no, Ricardos do

op addressed Sup Forums as a whole so i will too stupid nigga

The fact people keep referring to the people on Sup Forums who obsess with her, reveals a gross misunderstanding of who Ricardo was as a person.

Ricardo's obsession was absolutely nonsexual, which is quite different from many of Bjork's fans on here.

I don't get his obsession with her. like he wants to be with her, but not in a relationship, but to lick her shoe, and just kinda, be there? that guy has some weird mental thoughts.

>nonsexual
the reason he lost it was because she was dating a black dude right
there has to be some romantic or sexual connection for wanting to control someones dating life yo

I don't come here much, who's Ricardo?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardo_López_(stalker)

because she's an absolute sweetheart. I met her in New York and she just has this aura of comfort around her. And she's extremely talented and humble.

Some nobody who recorded himself on a vhs recorder documenting his life and bjork. he an hero'd on tape after he built a mail bomb to bjork so "he could be together with her in heaven"

why didn't ricardo just make more of an effort to impress bjork? he should have lost weight and try to break into the entertainment industry.

Thanks. I assumed he was a tripfag or something. That's pretty sad though.

SHE'S
FUCKING
A

he was kind of charismatic imo

The main reason he went apeshit was hebacuse bjork's orifices were filled with nigger cocks. if that's not sexual, i don't know what is.

african american male

Imagine if she made it big as a child, she would probably be dead

she was kinda big in iceland as a kid, but iceland has like two people.

youtube.com/watch?v=rujxXOmYLUU

lmao holy fuck

He was upset that anyone was her significant other. He made it very clear his obsession was not sexual.

Ricardo was Venezuelan, not sure why you're making it a racial thing.

She actually was a child pop star.

What does that mean

and she was pretty popular as a kid

Uruguayan

They're just being overenthusiastic about someone whose name they heard on Family Guy before they finally accept their true queen.

He literally says "she's fucking a nigger" and that's why he lost it.

How long until Brandon finally snaps?

ayyy kek

Lol god damn it.

Despite what the media may tell you, people who aren't white can still be racist.

>without Ricardo Lopez, Björk would have never hidden away in Spain, to escape media scrutiny back in London.
>there would have most likely been no Homogenic as we know it today, and as a result, no Dancer in the Dark, Selmasongs, or Vespertine
Thanks for your crazed obsession, Ricky. We owe you one.

>Ricardo was Venezuelan, not sure why you're making it a racial thing

>le non-whites can't be racist meme
Every race hates blacks.

He explicitly states in the tapes that he is upset with Björk because "she's FUCKING A NIGGER."

where has he been?

He had documented some racist ideas, not sure if that was because of Bjorks SO or if that was a thing before.

He wanted to be important to her. He wanted to have a lasting impact on her life. Her having a significant other meant that there was someone else far more likely to have a lasting impact on her. It wasn't sexual, a sexual obsession would be far more normal than this. This drove him to want to hurt her, kill or scar her, so that he could forever have some lasting impact on her life.

He succeeded, too. Here we are, talking about him in relation to Bjork.

It's actually really sad, I wonder what it was that made him get to that point of delusion.

>She actually was a child pop star
That's my point, she was never internationally popular though

You see the reaction to adult her, imagine if she had a bigger audience as a child. The obsession would increase 10 fold

Homogenic was pretty fuckin harsh and one of her best. I still wish she didn't replace the last track with an alternate 'All is full of love' since the original is so fantastic.

>mfw Ricardo Lopez got what he wanted, and had an impact on Björk's life
If only he could see us now

whining on r9k

>Ricardo López (January 14, 1975 – September 12, 1996), also known as the "Björk stalker", was a Uruguayan-born American pest control officer who attempted to kill Icelandic singer and musician Björk in September 1996. López had become obsessed with the singer in 1993 and later became angry over her relationship with musician Goldie.

>Over a nearly nine-month period, López made a video diary at his Hollywood, Florida apartment wherein he mused about Björk and various other topics while making a letter bomb rigged with sulfuric acid intended to kill or disfigure the singer. On September 12, López sent the package to Björk's residence in London, returned home and filmed his suicide. His decomposing body, along with his video diary and handwritten diary detailing his plot to kill Björk, were found by Florida police four days later. After viewing the tapes, police contacted Scotland Yard, who intercepted the package without incident.

>With aspirations to become a famous artist, López dropped out of high school. He did not seriously pursue an artistic career due to his feelings of inadequacy and fear of being rejected entry into art school. He intermittently worked for his brother's pest control business to support himself. By the age of 18, he had become socially reclusive and, as a means of escape, retreated into a world of fantasies and became enthralled by celebrities. He became obsessed with an American actress but became angry with her after she ended a long term relationship with one man and quickly began a new relationship with another man. López forgot about the actress when, in 1993, he became fixated on Icelandic singer Björk.

So pretty much what this guy said
If it wasn't Bjork it would've been someone else, probably another actress

I'm sure a large portion was his own self-hate.

He spent a great deal of his diary talking about how shit he was, how fat and unattractive and bad with girls he was. This level of personal deprecation leads people to elevate others to ridiculous levels.

He lived vicariously through her; by effectively making her his deity, he was able to find something, anything, that wasn't his own miserable life, and the only way to validate himself was through proving he existed to her.

>tfw you are worried about becoming Ricardo
Not the murdering / maiming someone part, but certainly the reclusiveness, delusions of grandeur, failure at life and ultimately committing suicide aspects

I wonder if there was a back to the future-esque time traveling device where everything was dealt into one timeline, how different bjork's discography would have been if Ricardo Lopez didn't go insane.

That's not my point. His racial beliefs were more or less irrelevant to his obsession. His diary documented no opinion on race outside of Goldie.

If Goldie was any other race it wouldn't have mattered. He defaulted to "she's fucking a nigger" because it was just another way to forward his frustration she was with someone else.

>delusions of grandeur

Ricardo didn't particularly possess those qualities. Numerous times he remarked on his being a failure. The only real delusion of grandeur was that he could impact Bjork, and in that sense, he actually achieved that.

He sought validation through his deity.

ricardo is a handsome bear boy. i'd boyfriend the fuck out of him

I for one casually enjoy a couple bork tunes, I am completely normal haha

When you lock yourself in your room for hours and do nothing but go on internet message boards you do go a little crazy. make sure to talk to your family and hug your loved ones.

Nah man. If you're self-aware enough to be worried about it, I promise you'll be okay.

We've all got a narcissistic streak. I used to fantasize about being a famous author or musician all the time as a kid, and I still indulge in those fantasies every once in a while. It's fun, especially when reality is pretty shitty. As far as being alone, there's nothing wrong with it if its what you enjoy. If you don't enjoy it, start finding places you enjoy hanging out at. Bars, record stores, local venues for shows, whatever. You'll meet other lonely assholes who hang out at the same places too.

You'll be okay.

Ah I gotcha

how much some of this matches up with brandon and his lauren obsession. but he's said before that it's all bullshit, and he's never thought of or wants to try hurting her

>After López's suicide, Björk gave a statement that she was "very distressed" by the incident. She said "It's terrible, very terrible. It's a very sad thing that someone would shoot his face off."
kek

>"I make music, but in other terms, you know, people shouldn't take me too literally and get involved in my personal life." She later sent a card and flowers to López's family. Although she was in little danger of actually receiving López's letter bomb as her mail is vetted through her management's office, Björk left London for Spain, where she recorded her album Homogenic. She also hired security for her son, Sindri, who was escorted to school with a minder. A year after López's death, Björk discussed the incident in an interview: "I was very upset that somebody had died. I couldn't sleep for a week. And I'd be lying if I said it didn't scare the fuck out of me. That I could get hurt and, most of all, that my son could get hurt."

how much some of this matches up with brandon and his lauren obsession is weird but i think he's said before that it's all bullshit, and he's never thought of or wants to try hurting her

Rare pepe

>tfw I've been listening to nothing but bjork songs for almost a year and a half
through all that time I was always afraid of becoming a ricardo, but I have no sexual connection or any kinda fanaticism towards her. I just love the atmosphere of listening to her songs in my area which is filled with beautiful atmospheres.

i'd still slap that ass tho

Eh. That's me with AnCo's music. And I'm definitely not obsessed with them as people, they're a bunch of fucking weirdos.

the only reason people do it is to piss bjorkposters off

and it fucking works everytime

"she's fucking a nigger. FUCKING A NIGGER."
He literally says that.

I already explained this
You would think, in the 80 hours of video documentation, he'd say something about hating blacks or that his obsession was sexual.

He doesn't. He says that, because he hates that anyone could be as important to Bjork as he wants to be.

Watch this, he makes multiple racist remarks and speaks about a sexual fantasy with Bjork youtube.com/watch?v=oVevxHoEkuU

Some time stamps would be nice.

22 minutes in

>youtube.com/watch?v=oVevxHoEkuU
>I don't give a shit about him

>The only sexual fantasy I've ever had with Bjork
>The only sexual thoughts he has, are to please her, not to gratify himself.

he was insane after all user

he's handsome and has a nice dick

Of course. It's just that if his obsession was actually sexual, it would be beyond just that.

Even what little sexual aspects are present, are just to reinforce his dedication.

he looked alright honestly
did he ever show his dick though?

There's something about her that just draws you in.

This particular set doesn't help either

>mfw I've never actually watched these videos or used liveleak before so I skip through it a bit to test liveleak and immediately get a close-up of his eye as he says "she's fucking a nigger"
top wew

That's clearly Björk, but OP is speaking about some Bjork I never heard of. Can't people read at all?

also, from a commenter
>So sad he instead CHOSE to throw away his life for that hoe who sounds like a howling dog. The way he describes how he loves her, as being childlike and innocent is incredibly sickening. He's definitely was sick.
fucking excellent

She's the only Icelandic chick I've ever seen, really. I don't know what yardstick to measure her against.

god damn muh dick

>be me
>be bored and tired, this pic gets me horny
>start yanking it to bjork
>only kind of enjoying it but decide it's too late to back out
>get close, starting to enjoy it more and more
>end up cumming hard, everywhere
>mfw i came buckets to bjork

I love Bjork for being one of the few popstars that didn't let the fame get to her. WIsh I could say the same for Madonna..

youtube.com/watch?v=gQEyezu7G20

she is a confirmed woman so all is good.

>tfw you will never see the unedited tape

Ask Matthew Barney kindly and maybe he'll give you a peak. assuming he hasn't burned it.

he broke up with her though

>I met her in New York
Deetz pls

I like that Bjork has the perfect combination of being artsy and grounded at the same time

But she was always with someone else, she had been married, she had kids by then.
'She's fucking a nigger' is literally what did it
He was disgusted with her because she stooped that low

he also uses the term "race mixing" in a negative context. I would say that was at least a relatively important factor

What the fuck is he then? Fucking brainless parroter
