The Weeknd is the Kurt Cobain/Nirvana of this generation.
Abel Tesfaye(The Weeknd) presents songs that are catchy, and enjoyable by a massive audience, yet also have a deeper meaning lyrically, usually with depressed, disillusioned, bitingly cynical overtones and commentary on contemporary society's approach to romance and relationships and escapism via regular intoxication.
Future reminisces on the later half of this decade will be paired with images of The Weeknd. 2015 belongs to The Weeknd.
Although, with his lifestyle, fame status, and wealth, he could likely contribute to an early death in his late 20s, much like Cobain, Hendrix, Morrison, and many other stars, who had the magic of making pop music with lyrics most people wanted to hear yet at the same time retaining an individual flare and innovation to their music. He's a cool dude.
Thoughts?

STFO you piece of shit

lol Nirvana lyrics mean nothing most of the time
He's just another shitty radio R&B guy whose currently massive hits will be forgotten in a few years.

The words maybe, but not the sentiment underlying them.

Well depth is subjective
At a surface value, it may not be deep, but in the end it's up to the listener to decide how deep it is for them.

I think you're right but it says more about how lame your generation is than anything else.
