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.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.

While that is true, The Cure are goth. And that's what the post talks about.

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.

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?

They're the definition of I am 14 and this is deep

[–] Calming_Pants@feddit.org 1 points 4 months ago

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 😅

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago

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?

Pretty much the only band that I'll switch off the satellite radio early 80s alternative station for.
