The Smiths are so good.

Are The Smiths /r9k/ approved?
>>
>>83086283
To be honest I've been listening to The Smiths/Moz almost-exclusively as of late. Very good band. I love.
>>

This board is gay as fuck, of course we like The Smiths.

one thing these guys got wrong about music is that they have no respect for the song. everything has to be a multilayered experience where you NEED to be on board with the group at every level of production. Not only do you need to know about Morrissey, but you need to know when they produced their albums and where on the album they show up. It also helps to know additional writing and recording credits for signature reasons.
>>
I don't like the smiths , don't like the cure too. I think they are a bit overrated , in a sense that their music is very depressing , their sound is melow and sad. Why are kids all of the sudden interested in the smiths? Did one of their songs appeared in a super hero movie or something? Or a depressed teenagers tv show? They all love the smiths but if you ask them who johnny marr is they look clueless

I was going to post about how I get called a faggot whenever I mention them, even by actual gays.
>>
>>83087564
The kids love the smiths because Morrissey was kind of like the grandfather OG of emo's.
>>
>>83086283
i like the smiths, theyre amazing when ur in that sorta mood
>>
Why do normies seemingly all have a reason to hate Morrissey, is it forced? I barely know anything about him so he's in the same camp as Billy Corgan and Moby where the only reasoning I've deduced is a vague impression of pretentiousness
>>
>>83088634
Muh politics, or something idk. Something about him being conservative and normies unable to separate art from artist. I personally don't care about all that, just love his music.
>>
>>83086283
Awful, boring band. REM was always better, even with how much of a pretentious turd Stipe is.
>>
smiths is an alright convenience store
>>
>>83088634
Unironically purely because it's pretentious-feeling and that makes normies feel gay. They make up moral reasons to hate Morrissey, but it's ridiculous when you consider how a)Moz has no real scandals and b) nearly EVERY other artist (including the beloved Robert Smith) is more "problematic" than him.
Normies are cattle and cannot fathom liking anything that doesn't have full widespread appeal without trying to hide their affection.
>>83088740
It's retarded because Morrissey isn't even conservative. He's literally a sensitive homosexual who likes flowers and makes sad boy music about dying alone because he's too empathetic. The conservative thing is a meme made to morally justify hating something perceived as embarrassing.
>>
>>83087752
I dont like that movie either , very pathetic for a guy to follow a woman that way.. Does the mentioned smiths song plays there? I think they just mention it. Very ridiculous stuff. If you have a sad past like lets say sasuke or keanu reeves , then it's cool and ok to be depressed , but these kids are sad for free , you know , it's stupid and ridiculous.

good one XD

For me? No, I don't like his voice.

Same here, kinda. I listen to The Smiths from time to time only for Johnny Marr's guitar play.

When girls says "I like shy/nerdy guys" they mean young Morrissey to t.

Not entirely true or relevant

I've listened to music my whole life. Studied it intensely at the Royal College of Music. I've never heard of the "Smiths"
>>
>>83086473
you don't need to know jack shit about the Smiths or Morrissey to enjoy the music. Do you think most people who listen to the Smiths (normies who only know a few of the most popular ones) know anything about them, or even the name of the lead singer? I live in student dorms and a lot of nights I hear 'There is a Light' or 'This Charming Man' playing from clubs. It's only ever those two songs. Normies don't deserve the Smiths.
>>83087752
most people I know whom I have told that I love the Smiths only know the band from that meme. And they say they like the music too but they don't even recognise the name of the band until you mention that scene.
>>83088634
they have been told he is racist and seen the headlines of articles where he is slandered as racist, they hear 'Morrissey is racist, he doesn't like foreigners' and don't look into it more than that. It's just a normie group psychology thing. 99% of people who dislike him have just heard 'Morrissey is racist', nothing more than that, no proof, and racist = bad.
>>83088745
is that why REM is miles more popular and widely loved than the Smiths, as well as transcending generations? oh wait...
>>83092103
>ive listened to music my whole life
who hasn't?
>studied music at a royal college rather than just loving and experiencing it in its intended way like most people
this is sad, you sound pretentious and stuck up. have you ever kissed a girl or is that another subject you read about in a royal college instead?
>>
>>83093047
>have you ever kissed a girl
fucked around 100 and about 10 ladyboys too
>>
>>83086283
I enjoy the lyricism and Marr's guitar playing

I listened to them for the first time about a year ago and they quickly became one of my favourite bands.

Nigga is short for nigger. It's commonly used for intra-black communication.

They're one of my favourite bands and I like a lot of Morrissey's solo stuff, but he's also a bellend.
>>
>>83086283
i have tried lot of times to listen to them. All sounded like shit to be honest.
>>
Alright, so we've already determined that all good robots like the smiths and moz.
Now for the real questions that need answers: what's their best album?
>>
all robot boys who like the smiths can cum inside me.

We wouldn't want to have a free couch that someone else already skeeted on, why do you think you're any different?
>>
>>83086283
I love the Smiths. Some of Moz's solo work is pretty good but it's sorely lacking without Johnny Marr (not that I think his solo work was any better but he was great when working with the Talking Heads and Pet Shop Boys).
I think the Smiths vs the Cure is a lot like Oasis vs Blur. They were listened to by the same people and you can't talk about one without the other but they're completely different sounds.
