      He’s also become a bit of a nut job in recent years unfortunately

      Edit: because he’s been a shithead for longer than I realised

        Not especially recent:

        Around the same time as Britpop exploded, Morrissey began getting pictures taken draped in the British flag; he also began making disparaging remarks about immigration. Hell, he even wrote a song called ‘The National Front Disco’. But while Morrissey’s views always gained column inches, as his music waned and the singer’s original fandom began to find themselves in bank manager positions, he began to find his place in the press less and less often.

        So basically, Morrissey has been upfront about being a racist fuck for a very long time.

          Damn that was a blind spot. I was under the impression it was only the past half a decade or so that he’d gotten that shitty

            You wouldn’t be alone in either not knowing or forgetting. It seems to be regularly forgotten that Eric Clapton is also a racist.

          After the pathetic loser killed 97 people in Norway, the vast majority were children, he had this to say.

          We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown, with 97 [sic] dead. Though that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried shit every day.” So not only is he a racist cunt, he’s a despicable piece of shit in other ways as well.

          Fuck Morrissey. Hope he gets remembered for the person he is, not the music he made

            Honestly, if I didn’t think this meme was so damn funny, I wouldn’t have posted anything regarding Morrissey, but I have to admit, that accurately describes his music.

          Damn, his wiki said “anti-establishment”, incredibly saddened to realize it is not the cool type of anti-establishmentarianism

          Give The Smiths a go if you’re intrigued. It’s the band that he broke out of, and personally I prefer more of that compared to his solo stuff (though he does have a few bangers, but the aforementioned nut-jobbery means I don’t really play much of his solo work these days)

    Back when I was young, I put The Used - On My Own on in the car and my mother said, “This guy is really overly emotional. It’s like his dog just died.”

    I thought she didn’t understand how hard it was to have a break up. Now grown up, yep, I get it. I hear that song now and I’m just embarrassed lol.

      I saw one with “deftones” that was edited much better, enough that I didn’t question it at the time
