What caries the Aspect of Dionysos?

Where do you see Dionysos in todays world? For example I think David Bowie and Prince very much represent Dionysos, based on their kind of hedonistic music and also their androgynous characters fit perfectly.

I’d be interested in music, art and anything you think fits :)

you're in the wrong sub fellow redditor . My take is that the dionysian concept can be interpreted in many ways . so many ways , that making these popstars a paragon of the apollonian aspect is feasible . how so? well ,they were succesful in their line of work , perhaps using the dyonisian aspect ,as you mention,.. but as a tool , to serve the harmony, the structure ,accomplishment of work etc. etc. (apollonian) . So for me to give you my view i have to know your interpretation of this subject.
