The best list I've seen so far - and I've been watching this channel for more than a year. Kudos to whoever researched this topic. These are names that need to be remembered.
As an aside, I really like the female voiceover. It's appealing and quite fitting for these type of videos. The male VO is equally fitting for the games and action-oriented clips.
People complaining why harambe is not there, here's why he didn't appear: First off, they say they didn't include people who became famous because of their death, plus he's not a person, moreover shut up with this dead meme !!!!
I would have mentioned Bram Stoker, he's more famous than most on this list. He lived in obscurity when alive. But after his death that his novel Dracula was really discovered by the masses and launched him into the stratosphere. They even have awards named after him now.
Mixey 6 out of 10 were writers, even the honourable mentions were all writers. Picasso, Salvador Delhi, Walpole, Turner, are a few painter who were famous during their lifetime. Artists of all arts struggle for success, though it seems with the coming of the modern age artists more easily thrive.
Andrey Baldove - Incorrect, the vast majority of classical composers were renowned and revered when they were alive, JS Bach is a particularly well known exception.
Before I clicked on this, I was like Lovecraft better be on the list. When his pic popped up 14 seconds in I was relieved. His books are printed in a dozen languages and is incredibly influential to a massive percentage of authors and film makers. This is a guy that at the end of his life was living with his aunt eating tins of beans.
The video fails to mention that Bach's rise into posthumous popularity was, in no small part, due to Felix Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn was one of the few popular 19th century composers who recognized Bach's overlooked Genius and spent great effort during his life promoting the composer and his works.
Carl Friedrich Gauß was a scientist of mathematics! He got after he died as one of the tenth best mathematicians of the world. In his time no one knew him and no one took his book seriously, because in this time Alexander Von Humbolt made it big.
Dickinson's sister did hold back some of her poetry it wasn't until years later that it took her niece her sister's daughter to finally put out the remainder of her poetry just thought you'd want to know
Alfred Wegener, died 1930, originator of the theory of continental drift by hypothesizing in 1912, which was not approved until 1960. According to Wikipedia, Wegener was then recognized as the founding father of one of the major scientific revolutions of the 20th century.
I think we should have mentioned some of the war poets on lists like this as yes even though they are remembered for dying as well, their works are still used even without speaking about their deaths
The Brave & The Awesome I was going to comment this. It's a shame he isn't. Nick Drake is my life. That man had a way with words, that I have yet to see in any other artist.
Lukas Strautins barely. He wasn't well known at all when he was alive making music. After the car commercial in the 90s that's when his fame rocketed, post life
List of pioneers died in the middle of pioneering: 1. Amelia Earhart 2. Manfred von Richthofen 3. Harry Houdini 4. George Mallory 5. Franz Reichelt 6. Marie Curie 7. Robert Falcon Scott 8. Ferdinan Magellean 9. Franklin Delano Roosevelt 10. Kurt Cobain
My friend and I watched this and she said: "Wait!...Where's Harvey Milk?" - Which, is a fair point to make. Yes, Harvey could be called "famous" back then for being the first openly gay man to have any source of legal power in the state of California, BUT after he died, he became a living legend! Honored to his day, people know him now because, after his death, so much attention was brought to him because of how much he inspired many upon many people to stand up and counteract the oppressiveness of not just the state of California, but the entire country at the time, and for being one of the many well-known LGBT activists, if not THE most well know, and also for being tragically shot down. His legacy easily outshines him before his demise.
Really good list, but maybe Democritus should be on here too. He was a chemist who believed that everything could be broken down into unbreakable atoms of a particular element, but was never famous because Aristotle instead supported a chemist who believed everything was broken down into earth, wind, water, and fire
Vivian Maier should've been No.1 look up her documentary on netflix. she was a photographer who had little fame while alive but her career blew up after her death
Seriously? Kafka was an honourable mention?!? He changed the way I viewed literature and to put him after Melville. .. not going to lie it fucking hurts.
Keats should have been on here. Critics hated his poems at the time and he was so sure he'd be forgotten that his grave doesn't even have his name on it.
I would put Curly Howard on this list. He had some fame while he was alive, but he never lived to see "The Three Stooges" films go to TV where his fame exploded and his various sounds and catch phrases became household words.
Nikola Tesla should be on this list. Died penniless and relatively unknown to the world outside of his direct field, which he wasn't very well known in either. He has probably had the greatest contribution to modern science to date.
Aleister Crowley, James Joyce, Malcolm Lowry, John Kennedy Toole - and that is just from the realm of Literature. I'd safely venture you have ample material for a sequel to this bit.
You say you're excluding people who are famous because of their death, yet, you make #1 a person who is famous solely BECAUSE of their death. Great logic there guys.
Anyone else find it funny that a guy named "Lovecraft" wrote horror stories? Not that writers have to center their creations around their names, but come on--if Lovecraft isn't the perfect name for an author who pens romance tales of all genres, I don't know what is!
Karl Marx is one that really fits this list! He was easily one of the most influential people in modern history, but he was rejected and despised in his own life for criticizing capitalism. Only more than 50 years after his death did his ideas garner attention, though it was twisted by Lenin and other modern communists
Vivian Maier the photographer, Srinivasa Ramanujan the mathematician !! I think these are a few important people you've missed to include in your list.. and I'm sure there will be much more left.. so please make another top10 list for the same title if possible.. I enjoyed this one though.
Why is no one talking about the death of Robert Falcon Scott. The first British person to launch an expedition to reach the south pole. In 1911 the British and the Russians had a race to the pole. The Russians won, much to the dismay of Scott and his party when they found a Russian flag left behind on the pole. On the way back he and his team all perished. It was only after the news of his death did he become a famous celebrated hero, and have statues of him put up. some say, if he did come back alive after the defeat, then people would of looked at him as a looser and a failure. Now that's rough. Die, or be called a failure for the rest of your live.
Mozart was a fucking superstar during his life time already. He played the violin in front of kings before he became eight. How is that not famous? This list is about people who became famous AFTER they died. That is why Bach is on this list but neither Mozart nor Beethoven. How about you think a second before posting.
Watch some documentaries about these people that became famous after they died!

So wat about the Dracula writer?
What about JJ Rousseau
This is really sad, they'll never know how loved they are today.
Don't know if it's because of human ignorance or life is just unfair?
Nikola Tesla? How can you forget about him?
YES YES YES
Should've been an honorable mention, at least.
REALLY famous before he died
Nikola Tesla was extremely famous during his life lol
Look up AC/DC
AC is Tesla. DC is cockhead Edison.
Alan Turing?!??!?

As an aside, I really like the female voiceover. It's appealing and quite fitting for these type of videos.
The male VO is equally fitting for the games and action-oriented clips.
Did the male vo leave or something I haven’t seen him in a while
I was hoping harambe would be on this list
DatSoccerGirl 17
My Chemical Romance became real famous after the idea died
͡° ͜ʖ ͡°
Fuck you he's not human Harambe 2016 loving mems
DatSoccerGirl 17 Or Stevie Ray Vaughan.
DatSoccerGirl 17 the title DOES say people.
Carlton Bell that's racist
#GorillasArePeople
People complaining why harambe is not there, here's why he didn't appear: First off, they say they didn't include people who became famous because of their death, plus he's not a person, moreover shut up with this dead meme !!!!
Luis Atienza of course it will !!!!! it's already dead, as dead as a dead rat
Peter the Porcupine maybe but now he's dead so move on
Dumbasses like you thinking stuffs like this don't die. Get a life!!
Harambe's Death was equally as bad as 9/11. DICKS OUT for HARAMBE!!!! We'll Never Forget...
@Social Anxiety he's taking the piss don't be a knobhead
damn...Ann Frank story was so sad all the way threw. even the old school movies was emotional to at the end 😞
I would have mentioned Bram Stoker, he's more famous than most on this list. He lived in obscurity when alive. But after his death that his novel Dracula was really discovered by the masses and launched him into the stratosphere. They even have awards named after him now.
damn shame.. posthumous fame and glory mean nothing to the dead..
why is nikola tesla not on this list????
All Painters become famous after they die
Mixey 6 out of 10 were writers, even the honourable mentions were all writers. Picasso, Salvador Delhi, Walpole, Turner, are a few painter who were famous during their lifetime. Artists of all arts struggle for success, though it seems with the coming of the modern age artists more easily thrive.
Andrey Baldove - Incorrect, the vast majority of classical composers were renowned and revered when they were alive, JS Bach is a particularly well known exception.
Well okay.. but it's like their popularity boosts so much more after they die..
Wow really?! I need to start painting and go jump off a cliff to die so I can become famous! Who would have thought death could give you fame?! lol
Im sure your millennial mind would think that
I hope we never forget these people
Alfred Wegener. He theorized the movement of plate tectonics and the continental drift along with Pangaea.
Yes
Who else came for Vincent Van Gogh?
Before I clicked on this, I was like Lovecraft better be on the list. When his pic popped up 14 seconds in I was relieved. His books are printed in a dozen languages and is incredibly influential to a massive percentage of authors and film makers. This is a guy that at the end of his life was living with his aunt eating tins of beans.
The only one I disagree with is Wilde. He did go through ups and downs, but he was pretty well known for the time. Its not like they had the internet.
heroes always get remeber remember but you know legends never die
best mojo list ever... I want more!
This is really great
Thanks Mojo.
The video fails to mention that Bach's rise into posthumous popularity was, in no small part, due to Felix Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn was one of the few popular 19th century composers who recognized Bach's overlooked Genius and spent great effort during his life promoting the composer and his works.
just for including Lovecraft you got me :)
best movies in the 1980's and 70's
Carl Friedrich Gauß was a scientist of mathematics! He got after he died as one of the tenth best mathematicians of the world. In his time no one knew him and no one took his book seriously, because in this time Alexander Von Humbolt made it big.

I Love Edgar Allan Poes work
Honarable mentions should show every single rapper
I think we should have mentioned some of the war poets on lists like this as yes even though they are remembered for dying as well, their works are still used even without speaking about their deaths
I was hoping that Nick Drake would be on this list.
That would be nice
The Brave & The Awesome I was going to comment this. It's a shame he isn't. Nick Drake is my life. That man had a way with words, that I have yet to see in any other artist.
why? he was famous before he died
Lukas Strautins barely. He wasn't well known at all when he was alive making music. After the car commercial in the 90s that's when his fame rocketed, post life
Shabloopie more than barely. Besides, i don't know of any commercial, so that's clearly not a reason for being noted.
I'm surprised F. Scott fitzgerald wasn't on this one. His book The Great Gatsby wasn't famous until after his passing.
List of pioneers died in the middle of pioneering:
1. Amelia Earhart
2. Manfred von Richthofen
3. Harry Houdini
4. George Mallory
5. Franz Reichelt
6. Marie Curie
7. Robert Falcon Scott
8. Ferdinan Magellean
9. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
10. Kurt Cobain
This whole Channel will be Famous after it dies.

Isn't it weird how a lot of people become famous only after their deaths?
I went to see the Vincent Van Gogh gallery this summer!
your videos are really cool....😎
Lot of educational facts. Useful vid.
Hahah!!! Well, you really read it wrong LOL!
Dickinson's sister did hold back some of her poetry it took
Anne Frank definitely deserved to be at the top of the list.
Vivian Maier should've been No.1 look up her documentary on netflix. she was a photographer who had little fame while alive but her career blew up after her death
Seriously? Kafka was an honourable mention?!? He changed the way I viewed literature and to put him after Melville. .. not going to lie it fucking hurts.
Came here just to see where Lovecraft would land
Henrietta levit was responsible for measuring the universe pretty much and died a year before getting nominated for her noble prize from cancer
I FU**ING love Lovecraft.
gotta reach that 10 minute mark for extra revenue $$
Keats should have been on here. Critics hated his poems at the time and he was so sure he'd be forgotten that his grave doesn't even have his name on it.
I would put Curly Howard on this list. He had some fame while he was alive, but he never lived to see "The Three Stooges" films go to TV where his fame exploded and his various sounds and catch phrases became household words.
Many members of Anne Franks family survived. A grandmother & a cousin among them. They moved to Switzerland , a country without gun control
Jonathan Larson
The guy who wrote the play/musical Rent
didnt expected that ending.....disapointed
Nikola Tesla should be on this list.
Died penniless and relatively unknown to the world outside of his direct field, which he wasn't very well known in either. He has probably had the greatest contribution to modern science to date.
i am proud of the netherlands,
I'm a simple man. I see Lovecraft, I click like
Poe’s poem “ The Raven” named a fucking NFL team, he’s buried in Baltimore. I’d add that if I was them
Most artist are only famous after they died like Lowry and Van Ghou
Lovecraft also wrote The Necronomicon, a book that for ages people actually thought was a real thing... like the Bible
How about Tesla? he didn't get the recognition he deserved in life really, abd died penniless.
So many geniuses so few appreciated.
What about Rembrandt van rhijn
Munshi Premchand (Best Indian Writer) is missing from this list. His name is worth mentioning in this list.
Van Gogh so famous for his painting and psych issues and death actually led to song about it.
Aleister Crowley, James Joyce, Malcolm Lowry, John Kennedy Toole - and that is just from the realm of Literature. I'd safely venture you have ample material for a sequel to this bit.
What about John Rabe and Oscar Schindler they saved thousands of lives and nobody recognized them until decades later.
The sad truth is everyone becomes famous when they die... 😐
Do they?
people always show more love when someone dies. like ren hang, nobody knew him until he passed away
You say you're excluding people who are famous because of their death, yet, you make #1 a person who is famous solely BECAUSE of their death. Great logic there guys.
Love the way she can't pronounce Vincent Van Gogh right hahaha
Harambe. That is so funny and original omg
Funnily enough (or not) the singer moby is a direct descendant of Herman Melville
Hermann Melville also wrote Billy Budd, another seafaring adventure.
What about Socrates he was well known but not infamously known till after his death from the teachings of Plato he should have been on this list
Anyone else find it funny that a guy named "Lovecraft" wrote horror stories?
Not that writers have to center their creations around their names, but come on--if Lovecraft isn't the perfect name for an author who pens romance tales of all genres, I don't know what is!
Bruce Lee wrote a book about his fighting style. It was published after he died.
W.A.Mozart ??
and me too
Basically almost all composers of classical music
Where is Heath Ledger
What about Shakespeare? After he died all his works were published into a book and he became one of the most famous writers of all time
I'm actually surprised
no one gave a fuck about harambe until he died and became a meme
i am simple,like the title watch the video,read the description what the video contains and skip to see other top 3 places
what about Sylvia Plath!?
Oscar Wilde also wrote some fairy tales that are pretty dark like "The Nightingale and the rose"
no bigger name then lovecraft EDGAR ALLEN FUCKING POE
Karl Marx is one that really fits this list! He was easily one of the most influential people in modern history, but he was rejected and despised in his own life for criticizing capitalism. Only more than 50 years after his death did his ideas garner attention, though it was twisted by Lenin and other modern communists
When I saw the title of this video the first person that popped in my head was Anne Frank
Vivian Maier the photographer, Srinivasa Ramanujan the mathematician !! I think these are a few important people you've missed to include in your list.. and I'm sure there will be much more left.. so please make another top10 list for the same title if possible.. I enjoyed this one though.
Poor Bach... he died in 1750 and he was re-discovered in... 1829.
If Bach was known before he died then he probably shouldn’t be on the list...
where's jeeeesuusssss
u should have mentioned Antonio Vivaldi
Yes he died in 1741 but didn't become famous for his wonderful music until the 1950's.
Alfred Wegener should be in honourable mentions
Why is no one talking about the death of Robert Falcon Scott. The first British person to launch an expedition to reach the south pole.
In 1911 the British and the Russians had a race to the pole. The Russians won, much to the dismay of Scott and his party when they found a Russian flag left behind on the pole.

It was only after the news of his death did he become a famous celebrated hero, and have statues of him put up. some say, if he did come back alive after the defeat, then people would of looked at him as a looser and a failure. Now that's rough. Die, or be called a failure for the rest of your live.
i was Like : You better have lovecraft in the Series. AND YES YOU DO
Look at the description, "#3, #2, & #3 ????"
Tru20_ Velocity yes I've seen that too.
Nearly every artist became famous after they died so you could make a list of the most famous artists after death xD
no Mozart? no fucking Mozart? what the actual fuck.
A jew writer is more important than the best classical musician of all time, duh...
Mozart was a fucking superstar during his life time already. He played the violin in front of kings before he became eight. How is that not famous? This list is about people who became famous AFTER they died. That is why Bach is on this list but neither Mozart nor Beethoven.
How about you think a second before posting.
True, he was a star as a child. He performed for royalty all over Europe.
Flaykz The only person who showed up at his funeral was the guy who put him in the grave,how was he famous again?
So you trying to be intentionally stupid or do you really believe mozart wasnt famous?
