    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.

      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.

      I was goth. We never listened to The Smiths.

      This whole thread is bullshit.

        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 😅
