"People were having the usual 'fuck morrissey' conversation but an hour later we're talking about the opium rap group. When I pointed out that playboi carti has some really questionable cases she looked at me like I just killed the vibe despite her and her friends doing it to me an hour earlier regar"
"i imagine prior to the internet the visibility of a life like this was relegated to Morrissey lyrics and Dostoevsky."

"A good litmus test for me if someone is generally fun or interesting. You know the type who foam at the mouth whenever he's mentioned. Jpegmafia is included in this categorization"

"No. I don't. Not even going to try. I love him just the way he is. I wish Morrissey was even more Morrissey-like, actually."
"Morrissey is great but you have to separate the art from the artist" · u/DomitianusAugustus · ↑394 · 2025-04-25
"Literally every time someone brings up morrissey or mark kozelek or whatever in conversation they always have to hedge their comment with '[x] is a massive FUCKING piece of shit and I hope he rots in hell..' or some other similar hyperbolic mantra"

"I hated childhood, like Morrissey said it was like waiting for a bus that never came, I felt so trapped all the time, and now, even when stuff is bad, I am always so glad that I can choose to change it"
Just rewatched the perks of being a wallflower and it made me feel sick · u/cheapelectricrazor · ↑224 · 2023-09-24
"Like the guy who's been making misanthropic sarcastic ass music for 40 years is an asshole and may have unfavorable views on some things? Color me shocked. I would honestly be more disappointed if ppl like that weren't shitty people, adds a layer to the art"
Discourse over Morrisey is so annoating · u/EffectiveAmphibian95 · ↑192 · 2024-12-13
"Contrast him to Morrissey or billy corgan or one of the hundreds of tortured artists who never really figure it out."

"They always heavily featured Morrissey and The Smiths but they won't do that anymore so the whole sub-genre has died. Probably the biggest one of these I can think of is Starter for 10 but there's been tonnes of them, but they just don't make them anymore, and if they do, it's without the Smiths and"

"Replies are exactly what you would expect. I hesitate to call veganism a left wing position but we all know more lefties are vegan than conservatives. This desire the left has to always trying to exclude as many people from their side is so strange. Actually demanding perfection or face banishment."

"Johnny Marr and Morrisey met a year earlier and the Smiths, while not yet active, were in motion."
"I hate this term normally, but I kind of found the singer's whole demeanour to be kind of 'soy'. Like Morrissey but without any of the bite that made him so powerful as a singer. Just a kind of boring lament."

"Although the Left changed and deserted me many years ago, I am most certainly not Far Right, and I have not ever met anyone who claims to be Far Right. My politics are straightforward: I recognize realities"
"Morrissey was playing on the radio and he pointed out how Morrissey was a disciplined vegan and one of the greatest songwriters"

"Witty, creatively gifted, very hot, moral and adamant enough to sacrifice his popularity to stop people from eating meat in his presence becsuse of what the suffering means to him.
