As you are the only person who has ever heard of this formerly closeted gay, this news makes no ripples. It's not even a blip.
On another note I've seen you in this thread (and others) make reference to "what kids are listening to these days..."
Based on what I've seen so far? I submit that you have no idea whatsoever what "kids" are listening to and are (much like we all did at a certain stage in our lives) deluding yourself into believing you're still on the cutting edge. The edge got up and ran away a long time ago.
Clue? You're officially a fogey. In a few short years you'll get to attach the "old" prefix -- if you're not there already.
Oh, I'm a fogey.
I'm just 20 years behind you. To me, great music was exclusively produced between 1992 and 1998.
Just borrowed my in-law's car over the weekend with Sirius/XM and blared Lithium, the 90's rock station, the entire time. Made the six hour drive fly by. Of the "new" music I'm into, the most common genre is some form of bluegrass/alt country/Americana folksy stuff. I'm into banjos, fiddles and upright basses. Can't get much more fogey than that.
As for Odd Future, you're mistaken if you think that this is my favorite group or something. Like dubstep, which has been discussed here before, I'm more fascinated by it than really into it. Well, moreso with dubstep. With that, I feel exactly like what my parents must have thought about the shit I was listening to in Jr. High. Confounded, really. But this? Some of their songs are really good and others are really bad, seemingly almost ironically and intentionally. Same "Lo-Fi" attitude prevalent in punk rock, especially in the late 70's.
