The Smiths

If I'm talking to somebody and they say they listen to The Smiths when they're sad I assume they have never had any real problems

This, Morissey is a hack

Off yourself cunt

lol do your homework

The guy killed himself.

>implying Curtis didn't do it for attention
Nigga please, he was a real pop star and died like a bitch

Nico and Mark Kozelek don't belong there at all you idiot.

The Smiths aren't about teen angst, they're about being a faggot in the worst suburbs of Manchester which is a lot more depressing than mosst people would think.

trips and the smiths release a new groundbreaking record in the next year

>John Mitchell
Also, that two people on that list killed themselves and at least one other tried I'd say you don't know what you're on about

He did it because of a life-crippling physical illness you ultimate faggot.

He was in a successful band m8.
He already had attention.

who are those people besides Ian Curtis and that one weird guy from MSP?

Mark Kozelek is the worst in the entire list, kys

>wish you were here
>about a friend who lost his mind
>faux depressive
>faux
Fuck off.

Not only the guy killed himself but suffered of epilepsy and clinical depression. This while he was living in england in the most dark, dirty and industrial-nightmerish city in europe
and this while loving two womens and not having the balls to drop one of the two. This while having a daughter coming

>life-crippling physical illness
>people who have fahx-depression actually believe this
lol stay sad motherfucker

Those were the two that did it. I think Robert Smith tried, or at least said that he was planning to kill himself after he Pornography, which I thought was on the list instead of Disintegration.

jokes on you I actually took this from a youtube comment

>actually going through with killing yourself and not "attemting to" as a cry for help
>faux depression

Wow his life must've been so hard. Truly a tormented soul

...

implying you have to be clinically depressed to kys yourself
he just deluded himself into aesthetisation of depression, which is the worst thing you can do
very thoughtful comment please post more reddit pics

>doesn't even know the guy
>thinks he is the authority on what his mental state was
u fokin wot

you literally don't get it, he doesn*t make "depressed" music, Benji is one of the most life-affirming records of all time you. Do you listen to music or do you just skim through it, talking about death isn't edgy in any way

Robert Smith really is pseud-depressed, he's just a special snowflake that did a lot of cocaine and then went to summer camp after Pornography to relax a bit.

To actually go through with it you have to be seriously fucked up.
A bullshit "attempt" probably means attention seeking.

>Oh shit he's got me
>Oh, I know, I'll yell reddit
>That'll show'em

you sound like an obnoxious cunt who's been on Sup Forums for two weeks and thinks he's the shit

You sound like a colossal faggot who's sucked one too many cocks
We can play this game all day bucko

any of it
real depressed people dont have the energy to make music

nah just trolling but for real, music is as much of a show as any art, "faux" accusations are some bullshit

i dont think benji was ever about mark being sad, but more about sad things that surround him that are poetic

This. Mark Kozelek's discography shows a clear progression towards positivity.

Down Colorful Hill - Mark being a neurotic, self-loathing wreck.
Rollercoaster - The same guy struggling with intense heartbreak
Bridge - Outtakes from Rollercoaster
Ocean Beach - More accepting take on heartbreak, self-loathing is lingering in the background but isn't as intense
Blue Guitar - love songs and folk pop rip-offs, no direction discernable (i hate that record frfr)
Old Ramon - Hazy nostalgia, short-lived love affairs, strong stints of melancholy but no real depression

Ghosts of the Great Highway - confrontation of death and the happiness that is still eluding Mark for the most part, he basically can't settle down.

April - His long-term girlfriend died so this is a really sad and mourning work, no self-loathing though

Admiral Fell Promises - Okay he sounds really tired and depressed on here, probably midlife crisis or some shit

Among the Leaves - Just being a grunty, old geezer, notable change in writing style to stream-of-consciousness

Benji - His autobiography and final confrontation with the death that seems to surround his family

Universal Themes - A punk record directed to the sudden spike of popularity he experienced with image-loving hipsters, very satisfied with himself

Jesu/ SKM - His final form: an old, cocky guy yelling about nothing in particular, He's happy now, let him be.

Some people listen to The Smiths when they're sad because they used to listen to them as sad teenagers, I think. So a combination of nostalgia, lighthearted misery and knowing that their problems as teens mean nothing now can be quite uplifting

So fuck you, cunt

Also the comment about the Smiths being music for Manchester gays is very true too

Also is the point of this thread to be 'I listen to more obscure music so I am more depressed than you' ? Grow the fuck up.

>implying Curtis didn't do it for attention
I just picture Ian in his grave smiling because his suicide brought him popularity which won't even mean shit since he's dead

>I listen to more obscure music so I am more depressed than you
This whole fucking board is a mishmash of faggots thinking obscurity=good and that because their taste is more obscure it is automatically better.

To some extent I can understand this though - granted, it is often posing and pretending, but I think if you listen to more and a wider range of music, that could be argued as 'better' taste.

To say that because music is more popular or poppy or whatever it isn't truly depressive, that's total bollocks I think
