Whether you wanna admit it or not. ZYZZ really did inspire a generation.

I used to get a lot of zyzz comparisons at the gy— we just have a very similar mix of races so from some angles I could see it I guess.. his physique was obviously light years ahead of mine. That’s actually what inspired me to dress as him to a Halloween festival lmao

These days, idc about aesthetics, I just train for strength and Ive gained a bit of weight... and now I’m rocking the quarantine dgaf look so no one says anything anymore

That happens with anyone big though. These kids wanna imitate everything they do. I mean look at rappers, now you got kids drinking “sizzurp” because they misinterpret the message.

Holy chit you look so much like him. That’s wild. I still care about aesthetics, but only because it makes me push myself.

I’ll try to find the pics from Escape Halloween. In the hardstyle tent I actually ran into Jon Skywalker and I’m blanking out on the other dudes name, like kraja or something and they tripped out on me lol

I'll never forget watching zyzz videos with my friend over skype for hours tryna copy the dance moves n chit when we were teenagers. Good times, even though I'm not lifting as serious and all about aesthetics anymore, zyzz still reminds me to be sick kunt in all situations. He really did inspire people whether he intended to or not to such a large scale. Honestly very impressive, nobody in the community had such an impact. Once in a generation type of guy... rip.

He will always be my crush. And his charisma was off the charts. Some Ppl think he was a narcissist, dude was actually trying to make them laugh.

Hopefully he´s happy upstairs, because yes, he inspired a lot of people and years after you can see at his youtube videos how many are watching him in 2021 for extra motivation or just to see him.

I´d like to know that his parents found peace, it´s heartbreaking to lose a child.

Exactly, people thought he was being serious when he was just teaching people to not take life seriously.

Yeah i feel bad for his parents. But props to them though for not telling him about his heart defect. He may have held back his dreams if it wasn’t for that.

It's a novel. It hasn't been adapted into a movie like some of Brown's other books....yet.

Well, I have already outlived him by 22 years...which is coincidentally the age he died.

I only vaguely remember him from when I first used to lurk the Misc, but I thought for sure he was faking his death.

He got in that hot tub while on ECA or DNP? I can't remember.

RIP to the original Misc King.

No, it's literally was exactly about that. What was Zyzz before steroids?

Did he ever find himself? You really think that guy was truly a happy, well adjusted individual? I think he gave a lot of fuks about what people thought of him.

Not a psychologist, but Jesus the way people ignore looking through the smoke and mirrors with this guy is fuked.
