I was not aware that young people were the only people that mattered. Anyhow I'd say that it is because young people are sheep and follow trends. That and Amy Winehouse didn't make music. She made noise. Drug induced noise.

Why do paintings go up in value when the artist dies? People want to appreciate something they missed out on.

Same thing happened to Michael Jackson when he died. His albums started flying off the shelfs at BestBuy and that was just brick and mortar store.

I've never read more rubbish in my life. Amy had her problems sure, but her music was of top notch quality.

She was amazing and has inspired a lot of current artists.

Amazing yes but I doubt she inspired much. Appreciate the sarcasm by the way.

Well Bach died about 262 years ago so it'd been hard for me to listen to him when he was alive.

No clue. MJs career was dead but when he died all the crap resurfaced including people shouting how wonderful he was. Meh.......he had his day for those that like pop. But contrary to his ego...he wasn't the king of pop.
