SupBowie.com, created in the weeks before the star’s death, was created to show people “why they should worship David Bowie.”
In the weeks before David Bowie's death on Sunday, two developers put together a site called SupBowie.com. which allows fans to find out what the great man was doing when he was at their age.

David Bowie might have made some of the most influential music ever, but what's truly impressive is his willingness to experiment and try new things.
This page is to celebrate David Bowie, and remind us to get out of our comfort zone and start doing shit.
Nguyen told BuzzFeed News on Monday that the site came about after his mentor, Nick Finney, had given him a task to kill time during an internship: "Tell today's youth, most of who have heard of David Bowie but really don't know anything about him, why they should worship David Bowie."

"I did some research and I quickly noticed how many different things Bowie did, also outside of his music. Then I started comparing myself to David Bowie. Thus the idea of 'what did David Bowie do at your age?' was born. People tend to compare themselves to celebrities, and the concept is very relatable to most people.
"It's just really hard to compare yourself to someone like Bowie. Not only because he was a musical genius and a talent, because many people are. What really sets him apart from everyone else is how he used all that. By not stopping when he could have, he always kept going. Kept experimenting and tried new things. Which is the real inspiration we can take away from him beside his legendary musical career."
