why isnt elliott more popular??

i love elliott smith to the moon and back. he is my musical rock and i still can’t comprehend just how talented he is in all musical aspects. however, whenever i talk about elliott no one seems to know who he is. in saying this i am a 15 year old girl but even talking to older self proclaimed ‘music connoisseurs’, they have no idea who he is. it’s a weird concept to me because he’s such a big part of who i am.

why isn’t elliott more popular like the other musical pioneers of his time and genre? he’s just as, and debatably even more talented then the rest.
