Mostly jangle pop, gothic rock and post-punk the lyrics and the sound seem very effeminate.

this is accurate
10s>00s>90s>80s>70s>60s>50s
Love the 80's.
Nick Drake was pretty effeminate and he was 70's though.
>>66057289
All of these things weren't mainstream in the 80s.
>>66057928
The smiths and the cure were pretty mainstream. In the UK at least
>>66058313
Maybe, but none of this sort of stuff was mainstream in the US. My parents are normies and thought the 80s was all shit pop music.
>>66058313
How are the cure mainstream? currently listening to Pornography and I don't understand how this was successful
>>66058543
My parents know about The Cure, and they don't know shit about music.
Mate, you need to crawl out of your shell every once in a while. Normies know about TVU as well.
>>66058543
The Cure didn't get mainstream until they released The Head on the Door.
Source? I'm old.
>>66058592
>>66058679
What I am saying is that their music isn't poppy, way less poppy than smiths yet they were successful
TVU are poppy af desu
>>66058451
My dad grew up in the 80s and still has records from The Cure, The Smiths, and Depeche Mode that he bought at that time. Albeit he was in a band, so he had a bit more interest in music than the average normie.
>>66058543
The Cure were popular for lovecats and friday im in love. Not the gothic stuff
>>66057358
yes, the cure. that one album is an anomaly in their discog.

My parents have heard songs by The Cure covered by other artists, but if you asked them who they were, or who wrote the songs the musicians were covering by them, they would have no fucking clue.
>>66059559
>that one album is an anomaly in their discog.
um are you forgetting Seventeen Seconds and Faith?
>>66059589
Are you from the UK. From where I am in the UK it's pretty well known
>>66059657
I've already stated that I'm from the US.
My first gf's mom was Gen X, so she definitely had listened to The Cure a lot, but she wasn't even American.
even the "gothic" stuff sounds gay
It's ridiculous how /mu/ jerks off over a genre which sounds hardly any different from the mainstream garbage that was popular at the time
Or maybe the ridiculous part is that that post-punk/new-wave/gothicrock etc shit managed to be mainstream.
When I hear stuff like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCMm1mJ3DRs I may as well be listening to A Flock Of Seagulls.

>even the "gothic" stuff sounds gay
Goth is the most abused genre in all of popular music.
It's Friday, I'm In Love is pretty mainstream. I knew it before I knew who The Cure were.
>>66059713
>Sounds gay
Grow up
>>66059764
Did I strike a nerve froot loop?
>>66059607
Those two are sissy stuff.
Plainsong was used as a part of a joke in Ant-Man, with the cover of Disintegration being pretty obviously shown. Disney wouldn't have picked some random underground band to make a joke in one of their blockbusters for the year.
>>66059713
>even the "gothic" stuff sounds gay
So? That's hardly a real criticism.
>>66059897
how did they use it as a joke? link? didn't see the movie
>>66059946
Don't have a link. Ant-Man and the villain (who can also become ant-sized) are having a fight in a purse, they accidentally turn the iPhone in the purse on and Plainsong plays. To them it's as loud as can be, to anybody real sized they can barely hear it.
>>66057289
Morrissey needs to die
>>66059978
I lied, I do have a link and it's much funnier than what I just described.
