He was far more active before the 2000s, so it's easy to not be aware. Twin Peaks was also a flash in the pan when it aired; the series lasted two seasons - and that's his most famous output. At work yesterday when the news broke, pretty much everyone over 40 collectively said, fuck that sucks.
Kinda feel like the Twin Peaks/Lynch fandom was much more prominent in the "old internet" (pre like 2010 or so). There's just something about the cult following of the show and its "puzzle box" nature of it that really flourished back then, but nowadays where everything is controlled by algorithms any sort of fanbase just segmentizes themselves into their own little place on the net so you can't just stumble upon these things anymore. When I first got onto the internet, it was like it was guaranteed it would lead me to watch stuff like Twin Peaks or Evangelion. You kinda couldn't get around these things. Back then the internet wasn't just "everyone is on here" but if you were on it you kinda were a nerd to begin with. I know quite a lot of people who are big lynch fans and they are all under thirty, but much younger than that and you probably won't get as many.
I feel like there's something to young people's minds and lives nowadays that stops them from enjoying and seeking out the things that came before them (I mean I do kinda get it, the world we've left them certainly ain't great, but there's no doubt in my mind that there are things in the past that are more than worthwhile to engage with).
Am I the only one who has never seen anything made by this guy?

Everyone under 35 said, who's that?

Twin Peaks and Evangelion were both series that had their finale in theaters at feature-length. And they both had a significant impact on anime.
Probably. I’m not a Lynchhead but I’ve seen Mullholland Drive and Dune at some point.
The Lynch Dune has it's problems but it's much more fun than the chamalamdingdong ones
