An island in an unknown location, homed to "dead" rappers and artists, who got so famous they could relax with the royalties and not have to deal with paparazzi.

A pretentious, postmodern jerk-off idea, popular among some academics, that says that the creator of an artistic work is irrelevant to the work, that their thought processes and intentions in creating the work don't matter, that they are not an authority on the very thing that they created, and that YOU, the passive consumer of the work, are more qualified to know what the work is about than they are, who put tons of hard work and effort into creating it.
Who does this "Ray Bradbury" person think he is, saying that Fahrenheit 451 is about how nobody reads books anymore? *I* say it's about censorship, dammit! What does HE know, he only wrote the damn thing! Death of the author says that creators are just passive, empty vessels through which the Divine Muse speaks!

A term describing the idea of how a viewer should have the freedom to interpretate any piece of artistic work, for better or worse:
For example: Movies, webcomics, videogames, songs, paintings, and any other diverse piece of fiction.
Contrary to popular belief, this idea is neither a positive nor negative idea, but still, it can be use for the creative expresion and the opportunity to make new and personal creations.
For example: Giving a story to a background character, making a comedic parody of a gritty-horror story, Making an imaginative non-official sequel or prequel...
And as said before, this works of fanfiction can be used for both great good and evil: Anybody can make a beutifull piece of art to detone their intrepretation of any work, or by the bad side, they can make porn of it. (Yes, porn is bad.)

Dude: I recently watched this very cool and scary movie, but sadly, my favorite protagonist died at the end, so i will just ret-con that by making the killer dumb and my protagonist more cooler.
Guy: Wtf?! You can't do that you baby pussy boy! You can't just aply the Death of the author in that situation! BE SAD! QUIT HAVING FUN! STOP THINKING AND JUST ACCEPT HOW MISERABLE EVERYTHING IS!
Dude: Fuck you you can't tell me what to do! *Kills the guy epic style.*

A notable figure: *says or does something against the accepted norm*
