I found The Smiths insufferable when I was young and I still find them insufferable.
Still like a few of their songs, but fucking GROW UP, JESUS CHRIST.
I was goth. We never listened to The Smiths.
This whole thread is bullshit.
While that is true, The Cure are goth. And that's what the post talks about.
I had goth friends, but was more into emo/screamo. THEY'RE NOT THE SAME THING OKAY.
Your haaaair is eeeeeverywheeeere!
Screaming infidelities.
How about Against Me! - Baby I'm an Anarchist
There's Dashboard, then there's 3 Days Grace. They are not the same.
And I can't pretend Dashboard Confessional is/was less whiney than The Smiths. Most of his/their stuff is also pretty hard for me to listen to these days with a few exceptions. He really shouldn't be singing most of that music anymore, at his age, and that's been true for awhiiiiiile. Kinda weird. I prefer his tenure as lead singer of Further Seems Forever.
Oh fuck. My 13 year old says to me just a week ago "the Smiths are my absolute favorite band dad." Fuck me. Where did I go wrong?
that's because Morrissey is an insufferably pretentious douche. you can tell he was to blame because he went solo and continued torturing eardrums.
Johnny Marr did okay when he went solo. a little uneven, but better than Morrissey.
Pretty much the only band that I'll switch off the satellite radio early 80s alternative station for.
They're the definition of I am 14 and this is deep
Nah, Morrissey was always a know-it-all prick and a lot of the lyrics are dripping in irony. “Keats and Yeats are on your side, but you lose because Wilde is on mine” - Really, Steven?
Are they really? I have to admit that I do like them, but I was under the impression that their lyrics where mostly meant to be funny. But then again, I don't always pay attention to the lyrics 😅
