    Morrissey is based. When I was a teenager, I always thought The Smiths were a bit odd (and they are), but then I bought their greatest hits and really listened to the lyrics. They struck me as simplistically profound, especially for a young lad navigating the struggles of adolescence. ‘What Difference Does It Make?’ remains one of my all-time favorite songs.

    Conservative croatian catholic here.
    The Smiths were an unusual pop band in the 80s. Their songs referred to a lost, emotional and love-seeking youth trying to find their way in the world. When you're seventeen, it's easy to identify with Morrissey and Maar's lyrics full of mild irony and nostalgia. Although they rebel against all authority, including the Church, there's something of St. Augustine in their search for meaning.
    Morrissey sings: "
    "There's a club if you'd like to go
    You could meet somebody who really loves you
    So you go and you stand on your own
    And you leave on your own
    And you go home and you cry
    And you want to die."
    Pope Benedict XVI said:
    "Noisy expressions of joy are often a mask behind which despair is hidden. Nowhere can a young man be so alone as surrounded by a crowd of people."
    A decade later, they still inspire. They are definitely worth listening to.

      @marisol3827 that's a cool story. Sometimes high school can bring out the most unlikely friendships because of common interest. Or, someone who likes the same music, and they want to challenge you on being a fan, to insufferable measures..

    "The Headmaster's Ritual" is my favourite but they've all always been and will always be bangers. I think Michael would love listening to them if not just for the lyrics - most/all are heavily inspired by great literature. Morrissey has always been very well-read.

    The music of the Smiths is top notch - people who can't stand Morrissey usually acknowledge this. To really get Morrissey, you may need to be a bit depressed and you definitely need to be able to detect the humor in the lyrics - which a lot of people can't / don't feel the need to.

    I listened to this song a lot when I got my first job out of college and I moved to a place where I didn't know anyone, I was lonely, I was barely making enough money to cover rent, and it was the middle of winter. It made me feel a little better at the time, and when I hear it now, even though it was a pretty difficult time, this song makes me think back on it a little fonder, I remember the good as well as the bad.
    Heaven knows I'm not miserable now.

    How could you have never heard "Panic"?!
    I grad high school in '82, voted Reagan in '84, LOTS of punk and new wave-type music of that era was libertarian/conservative at its core.
    Hell, the late 70's Sex Pistols had "Bodies", an explicitly anti-abortion song.
    Oingo Boingo mocked liberals' love of rehabilitative justice with their song "Only a Lad".
    There were a lot of other examples, there was nothing particularly leftist at all about the Smiths and Morrissey has been canceled for expressing pro-Britain First views.

    I went to see the Smith when they were around in Dublin. I was probably 16 or 17. Great concert, I ended up jumping on stage and dancing with Morrissey, while we were dancing, I grabbed the daffodils from his back pocket and threw them into the audience. He was totally fine with it. After leaving the stage, I ended up puking with the adrenaline. Happy memories 😃
