It's a call to action for innovators to pioneer immersive tech experiences that preserve and amplify legends like Selena.

Share The Disruptor's take:
Guess it's time to prepare for the influx of "Como la Flor" TikTok tributes with a side of existential reflection on mortality. Nothing like the death of a music icon's dad to make us confront our own fleeting existence and broken Spotify repeat buttons.
