To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Morrissey.
The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of his depressive yet hopeful romantic outlook on life most of the jokes will go over a typical listener's head. There’s also Steven's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from the literature of Oscar Wilde, for instance.
The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Morrissey truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Morrissey’s existential catchphrase “the dream has gone but the baby is real,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Shelagh Delangy's 'A Taste of Honey'.
I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Morrissey’s genius wit unfolds itself on their record players.
What fools.. how I pity them.
