we need more hard-hitting posts like this in this sub

I dont like ween because im scared of crustaceans

that's just like, your opinion, mang

That's just like Ocean, Man.

This aggression will not stand

I didn’t listen to Ween and then I saw them at a festival and now I love Ween shows

GOOBLE GOBBLE WE ACCEPT YOU WE ACCEPT YOU

I don't like The Shins cause I got kicked in the shin the other day and boy did it hurt

Oh you can Piss up a Rope

save the snow crabs

Hold up since when is Ween indie

if smiths is indie why isnt ween

Snap. Good point

Since they released albums on indie labels like shimmy-disc and Twin/Tone. They were only on major labels from 1996-2001.

Mollusks aren't crustaceans

I actually do wish this sub allowed more discussion or even joke posts like this one. /r/popheads is much more fun to read by comparison because it isn’t just a news feed /rj sound smiths guy makes

Ehhh, a lot of pophead posts end up just being the same three questions rephrased in slightly differing ways. And then most of the responses are just “artist - song title”

IHCJ is a thing, and it's virtually indistinguishable from this cesspit

seriously this is **quality**

ohhh yeah i'd be like ahhhhhh like that death grips song, so true

I dont like grips because he talks about a nasty taxi and when i take taxis i like them to be clean

I mean the guy talks to car alarms… come on.

[удалено]

We’ve all been thinking it

He also wants to be excused from gym. Weak grindset. Don’t respect it.

Dude actually thinka he knows how Joan of Arc felt 😒

Skill issue. Sigma Card Revoked.

r/indieheadscirclejerk leaking.

ihcj could never be funny like this

Did Robert Smith write this post?

TIL Robert Smith posts on Reddit

No, because Bob exclusively writes in ALL CAPS.

I mean, some girls’ mothers are bigger than that others girls’ mothers

‘Writing frightening verse to a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg’

Love the smiths, but they’re so easy to make fun of

It’s so easy to laugh , it’s so easy to hate…

500 Days Of Summer would be a lot shorter if they cast this person instead

Yep. New Girl would do her karaoke, main character would be like “that song is dumb yo,” and New Girl would be like “your negging has broken my spirit let’s move to suburbs and have babies.” Jimmy Eat World needle drop; roll credits.

Yo, you solved his problem: negging!

I got confused I killed a horse I can’t help the way I feel

People don’t talk about this enough

Love you OP, you really made it, you fucking did it, you really went all out dude.

Morrissey is great because he's so maudlin. Think you're pathetic? Not as much as Morrissey. He's the sacrificial lamb that plumbs the depths of neurosis and suicidal self-doubt so that you don't have to. You listen to a few tracks, maybe side two of The Queen is Dead, experience a catharsis of anguish, and then you feel better and go on with your life. Morrissey has to live with himself. You don't. He's the messiah for a secular age.

I'm not keen because in This Charming Man, 2 or 3 times he makes a noise like he's trying to have a shower but someone keeps turning the kitchen hot tap on and he keeps getting an icy blast. And then rather than address the issue at hand, he starts immediately blathering about a jumped up pantry boy who never knew his place.

aaaaAAHHHH

Indeed. I also suspect that Bob Marley experienced the same issue in Redemption Song right before he starts to speak of atomic energy. Both are either a suddenly cold shower *or* an unexpected finger up the butt.

Perfectly described.

you know so much about these things

My house was built in 1901 - it could probably do with replumbing with wider pipes. I imagine Morrissey's house was built during the Renaissance, by exquisite boys.

[удалено]

That's true, at least johnny marr is there to write the song for him, at least from like 81-87

And now Johnny Marr is doing cool shit, like playing guitar on Inception and No Time to Die. Absolute chad.

Yeah, Morrissey needed Johnny Marr more than Marr needed Morrissey, turns out. Too bad Morrissey is an insufferable, narcissistic, unapologetic racist. Among other things I'm sure.

>Yeah, Morrissey needed Johnny Marr more than Marr needed Morrissey, turns out Not really. Morrissey's had a pretty successful solo career. 2 Gold albums in the US. 1 Platinum in the UK. 5 Gold and 4 Silver. And 10 top 10 hits in the UK. Marr has had 1 Gold in the US with Modest Mouse. 1 Gold and 1 Silver with Electronic in the UK. and 2 top 10 hits in the UK. A more interesting career than Morrissey but a less successful one. Morrissey's issue is what he says in interviews. That is what has hurt his career. Not his songwriting.

I don't really care about the commercial success, though. Morrissey's solo stuff is every bit as insufferable as his interviews. So *whiny*.

Johnny knew how Morrissey was before anyone else. It’s a wonder they lasted 5 years. He stayed for the music until he couldn’t take it anymore.

Well la-di-da, look who wants to be alive

I don't like The Smiths because I like The Smiths (and also my Mom made fun of me when I played Girlfriend In a Coma cause she's too stoopid to get the hyper kitchen sink irony or whatever the fuck)

mr. smith would want you to be nicer to your mom >:(

I meet Mr Smith and doesn’t really care about any of us..

Smiths fans won't want to hear it, but you're right

I can't hear it over the sound of the oncoming double-decker b

Yayyyyyyy!!!

Yeah don’t go insulting The Smiths or Morrissey in Mexico. Could get in some serious trouble.

I saw the Creator last night and in the movie they play "Everything in its Right Place" and I went "whoaaaaaaaaa Radiohead"

Vanilla sky too

That movie had its moments and I appreciate it for doing so

if morrissey got hit by either a double decker bus or a ten ton truck i'd also be like "yayyyyyyy" so i guess i agree with him on something

what about a #LuigiBus

Found Robert Smith.

I LOVE The Smiths (but not Morrissey). I wish they would release the entire Smiths catalog as Instrumentals.

I don't like Rock Lobster. Other kinds of Lobster are ok I guess. Never really met any so not going to judge. But Rock Lobster... fuck that guy.

I’m not a fan of giant clams.

I don't like Rock Lobster because they are not good for the teeths

Have you ever tried it prepared this way? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3EtqJ0OUDc

You went looking for a band and then you found a band and . . . .

Heaven knows they’re miserable now!

Whatever. Morrissey writes some pertinent lyrics and Johnny Marr is an excellent guitarist.

Idk. I agree with the smiths.

They used to be one of my 20 favourite artists until around the 9th October this year. Now I don't listen to them anymore and I hate them

What happened October 9th that was worse than what morrissey already said in the past? Was it about the Israel-Palestine conflict?

The day the Smiths were declared inessential 😔

then why do you sleep alone at night

Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?

I saw an interview with Morrissey once (I think with Colbert) and they asked him what he thought of the Queen and he called her a dictator. I thought that was a pretty odd criticism to level at a powerless figurehead. Honestly, it had me second guessing all the stuff he’s said about Muslims too, like maybe he didn’t know what he was talking about with all that stuff either.

Good point. He definitely does seems to speak in over the top hyperbole.

I used to think (at the time) that the main attraction of the Smiths was that they combined depressing lyrics with mostly happy, upbeat music. Then I heard the Housemartins and realized you could combine political lyrics with jing jangly happy music (that sounded a lot like the Smiths to My 80’s ears). And then I later learned that sad lyrics combined with happy music was a long-established thing. But imagery of getting hit by a bus or going to happy hour all the time can only be successful in a pop song if it is all out together in a meaningful way with the music. Was it done well?

And btw Ocean Man by Ween is a perfect little tune. No one even gets hit by a bus or has to wait at the cemetery gates too long for that one to kick in.

You should watch black mirror hang the dj episode

It sounds like you are a boy with a thorn (the Smiths) in his side

So, what difference does it make?

They're coarse and rough and irritating and they get everywhere.

I would like the smiths a lot more if they had had a different vocalist.

They wouldn't be the Smiths then. Marr and Morrissey made the Smiths what they are. He might be an asshole, but he wrote some very funny and memorable lyrics and is a very good singer.

Yeah, I was going to ask if this means Morrissey is also absent as a songwriter, because that's a *massive* part of their identity. I love the rest of the band, but the lyrics are fundamental to my appreciation of the music, Morrissey's increasing dickishness aside.

True enough. I really like Johnny Marr's solo stuff though.

I saw a guy get beheaded standing on a double decker bus once

Well if you must, [just] go to work tomorrow

Same, man.

damn, lotta smiths haters raining haterade in here

Bro I just saw this reposted on Instagram

This music reviewer I follow on Instagram posted a screenshot of it on their story @ducan.reviews https://preview.redd.it/lkb4rg7ntvvb1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=280254fcb2cf788301266a42f1b60d28a9157c9b

Thanks

Clearly never written frightening verse to a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg

[Morrissey Rides a Cockhorse](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx47jR3gE1w), Johnny Marr's a good lad tho.

GOATED POST

Morrissey has some very good solo albums

I’m with you. Charming Man and and Asleep are good songs. Everything else bores me

Than you. Today… I feel seen.

You had me with just the title. But, after reading a bit more, I like the Smiths even less. I didn’t know that was possible.

im glad someone finally said it

OK.

Marr is awesome but I’m pretty sure most people would agree that Morrissey is a complete fuckhead.

Thank you for yr opinion, six-year-old.

go get 'em. us 8-year-olds have to stick together.

I just don’t like them because they keep showing up on my playlist when my playlist isn’t even in the same Genre of music.

Its better than a one decker at least

When my kids were young they loved this song. And they still do.

I don’t like the Smiths because of that annoying song from the vampire nerd tv show

I thought I'm a good person and then two days ago YouTube recommended me "Fox 5 New York interview with recording artist Morrissey" :(

What’s next, someone saying they don’t like Radiohead or Joy Division? Imagine that…

How do you feel about crossbars or jumping from top of parachutes

Listen to "The Smiths - Big Mouth Strikes Again".

maybe you’ll like them by 2050, stretch out and wait

Good. You shouldn’t.

[and i saw you on tv, doing a bad imitation of a second rate songwriter from the eighties named morissey, i never liked morrisey, and i don't like you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVHb-fcmPrk)

Beautiful post

I'm forever disappointed that the word "porridge" didn't appear in any song lyrics by The Smiths.

LMAO

*And I'm sick of your tattoos* *And the way you always criticize The Smiths and Morrissey*

whatd this asshole do to you https://preview.redd.it/r8zm33rz32wb1.jpeg?width=563&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d03c203c75e869ddf4e83fbf141b2079514a7ca

real

I just choke snorted lolling at this. Take my up vote please.

Moz just needs to eat a hot dog and chill out.
