What is it about The Smiths that normies love so much?
And why has it taken them nearly three decades to discover them?
500 days of summer
>>66496830
Probably it. That and their epic funny quote hero Noel Gallagher constantly praising them.
>>66496816
Normies like them because The Smiths are known for being quirky and unique so it gives people a sense of individuality
The recent surge is because modern pop culture is based mainly around nostalgia.
Also fuck you, they're really good
>>66496816
It's "sad" music for normies who have yet to discover Elliot Smith, Nick Drake, or DSBM.
>>66496888
>Also fuck you, they're really good
Never said they weren't. I'm a huge fan, I just don't understand why all of a sudden everyone's jumping on their bandwagon, as if their music is a recent thing.
The songs are catchy and the lyrics are clever so they pretend to understand the lyrics to look sophisticated. Also Morrissey is one of the most attractive people to ever make music.
They most likely discovered them through a shitty book-based movie like 500 Days of Summer or The Perks of Being a Wallflower or some John Green shit. They could have discovered it through Brand New if they're an "alternative" kid and through The Weeknd if they're more mainstream.

>Elliot Smith, Nick Drake
It's funny because The Smiths made far better music than those two
>>66496965
I never said they didn't man I'm just saying there is sadder music out there.
And don't sleep on Drake Bell.
>>66496816
weird
the normies where I live only like joy division
>>66497003
>Drake Bell
Superhero Movie is my favorite movie of all time.
>>66496965
I disagree
I love mr smiths music even over drakes
shouldn't be comparing any of them though
Their first album was a best seller. I don't know what this three decades thing you're talking about is coming from.
>>66497081
op is the typical 4chan autist who gets mad when people he knows. starts liking things he does
so he comes on here and calls them normies for liking some he now once liked
Smiths are for edgy teens who haven't discovered the melancholic beauty that is Ghost Bath.

>tfw "The Queen is Dead" would be a 10/10 if it weren't for Vicar in a Tutu
>And why has it taken them nearly three decades to discover them?
>thinking The Smiths weren't incredibly popular since their inception
lmao look at this normie
>>66497003
Drake "No Truce You're Bruce" Bell?
The early Morrissey albums are really great, and never get much credit.
>>66496915
Old music is becoming trendy, especially the smiths. Hipsters are just being complete posers.
>>66496816
James Murphy has said that The Smiths were not "cool" to like in the '90s, so they've had roughly a two decade hiatus before resurging, which is pretty typical.
The Smiths are basic bitch, Morrissey solo ain't
what's a normie and why don't you guys think you're normies
very eager to hear your responses
>>66497611
because every day I scream "I AM NO NORMO"
>>66497611
I prefer Morrissey's solo stuff over The Smiths, that's a pretty good reason.
The smiths are shit and morrissey can't die soon enough
>>66497611
I am a normie, by-and-large
>implying normies even know The Smiths
>>66497611
I am treated differently from my friends and strangers in public. Also I'm the weird friend no one actually pays attention to

1. do you have anxiety
2. any self-imposed isolation going on ?
3. do you have any expectations when you're with your real-life friends?
>>66497611
nobody is truly a normie tbqh.we're all weird but normies are people who aren't self aware whether or not they're stating the obvious and are always cheerful about their new discoveries. I envy them and wish I was that narcissistic
Morrissey's most popular songs
(You could replace Satellite of Love with like November Spawned A Monster it has 960 thousand plays)
>>66497899
The Smiths most popular songs.
Obviously The Smiths are more norm because of movies like 500 Days Of Summer, Pretty In Pink and The Perks Of Being A Wallflower
>>66497611
its just a meme to generalize people that don't have difficultly in a social life
>>66497747
>1. do you have anxiety
Yes I have social anxiety. Not as bad as it used to be but I still can't approach strangers confidently and start a conversation yet.
>2. any self-imposed isolation going on ?
Yeah I tend to be alone a lot. Even when I'm with my friends I will be the guy in the corner no one talks to. I occasionally throw in random comments just so I don't seem so weird.
>3. do you have any expectations when you're with your real-life friends?
I expect to not be talked to very much and eventually lose sight of them and start doing my own thing later in the night. That's what usually happens.
I've accepted it for now but I'm working on my body and my looks to have more confidence and to be able go up to random people and start a conversation with them. So far it's working but very slowly
Normies like the Smiths because they are a pop rock band. Their songs are standard pop songs, catchy tunes, nice chorus.

They were too far ahead of their time for 80s audiences to appreciate.
