What's the deal with the rivalry between the Smiths and the Cure?

The smiths became proper normie lad music, the Cure was 'subculture'.

Cure fans are bitter because Morrisey was talented.

Thery're both gay shit and they fight between who sucked cocks the most
The Cure is more known than the smiths in the world, britbong
and also they're the best group

Robert Smith couldn't hack it, so he formed the Cure.

Morrissey's a prick, so he slagged the Cure off in the music press a few times, then Robert Smith called Moz out on it, and that's about it.

what? the cure get played at wedding discos

the Cure is better

>The smiths became proper normie lad music, the Cure was 'subculture'.
it's the other way round you dip

they're both sadboi music, and Moz is an asshole/pussy as bitch with a pussy ass dick, so of course Smith is gonna beat his ass down

Not in the UK anyway. Every lad and their mum loves charming man.

The cure are for pansy faggots.

Ironic considering Morrisey is a bufty.

in the uk the cure definitely have songs as popular as the smiths. just like heaven, in between days, love cats

>Lovecats lalala lala la lala
>Friday i'm in loooove with you
please go away

they both never made a club hit like Blue Monday. New Order BTFO'd both of them.

People don't listen to New Order anymore
the Smiths and the Cure are just as popular now as they ever were

Yes they do, what are you talking about?

You what?

...

maybe you do, they aren't anywhere near as popular as the Smiths or as the Cure

...

...

How do they compare?

Blue Monday is still popular and gets used in new movie trailers pretty frequently.

good but not on the same level

>one hit song is still well known vs millions of people of all ages being massive fans of their entire discography

thoughts on falco?

I like New Order better than the Smiths and the Cure. fuck what the masses think

>massive fans of their entire discography
The Smiths and The Cure are almost always the first two answers when someone asks about singles bands on this board

>Thinking his opinion is factual

Also implying The cure secretly want mainstream appeal like the smiths "which they have"

The smiths are for depressed teenage girls and the cure is more artful and just different

Yeah but you're acting as if these bands aren't as successful as New Order, which is incorrect
You do realize how many fantastic singles these bands have had? And how many great and influential albums they've had?

Depeche Mode>The Smiths>The Cure

It's official. No use in crying over it.
