According to a credible source, Martin Garrix is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the dj's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

UPDATE 23/12/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Why not Garrix for Person of the Year?

The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 28-year-old dj, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Garrix so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the dj have already been named ‘Dutch Of The Year’ by some major Dutch newspapers and even ‘Amsterdam Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Amsterdam (Martin Garrix's hometown).

Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year

A representative for the dj was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:

“Martin Garrix Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 22 Dec 2024
“Congrats! Martin has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 22 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Martin Garrix?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 22 Dec 2024

Could 2025 officially be the Year of Martin Garrix?

Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.

Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
