Morrissey is machismo no matter how emotional his songs might be. He has that machismo vibe. He is the man. I think this is why Mexico loves him. And hey, the songs are good. Morrissey is a legend and his band around him are always good and his songs are always good.

Morrisesy played a show in England after the smiths broke up . People were booing at him. When he walked off the stage they said that he sold out the hollywood bowl twice. He said bye bye england.

The Smiths lyrics and Morrisey's lyrics are not depressing. They're real.

Moz is from a very Irish Catholic background, with a hostility to Royalism too.

They aren't depressing, they made a short yet glorious career out of playing with (by giving form to) feelings that most everyone has but are too afraid to admit.

My buddy from East LA who was into punk music adored The Smiths. It seemed odd at the time but I understand now.

I'm not Latino but I think some Latino men find there is something restricting about the Machismo of the culture. Morrissey and The Smiths kind of offers an alternative to that by giving men a way to access their emotions

Morrissey's lyrics are misunderstood. They are hilarious.

I have never ever once found the Smiths or Morrissey sad in anyway.

My belief is that Morrissey's always been a romantic and passionate singer, which Latinos naturally gravitate too being they are a romantic and passionate culture. Also his lyrics speak on subjects that most of us macho Latin guys can relate too, but would never admit to anyone. He sings our deepest thoughts out loud in such songs as Back to the Old House, Driving Your Girlfriend Home, I Won't Share You, Well I Wonder, Please Let Me Get What I Want, Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me, and a host of others. That yearning we fool ourselves into acting like we don't have in public, but in private moments play heavily in our minds. For that he's truly one of the best lyricists of the 20th century.

a mi me gusta The Smiths por que me hacen recordar mi infancia...sus melodias evocan la adolescencia, la melancolia, el desamor, la incertidumbre que caracteriza esa etapa de la vida de todo adolescente.

To me, o feel morrissey explains through music that at times we feel unloved while watching others revieve the love we desire..

What a interesting video to be recommended... I am a Smiths, Moz/Marr fan and I wondered this about South America and how they love The Smiths. I have a friend in Brazil and she is Manchester music nuts, mainly The Smiths, Morrissey, Marr, Joy Division and New Order, Electronic etc, and yes she/they adore Moz/The Smiths probably more so than us in the UK. This was interesting hearing from the Mexican people's perspective. I knew that they were Morrissey crazy also but had never actually heard them speak of it. Also massive kudos for drinking in my opinion the finest beer money can buy period in Duvel from Belgium! 👌 And finally because it's recent, massive RIP to Andy Rourke the amazing bassist for The Smiths and some of Morrissey's solo work, he was a excellent bassist and on some Smiths songs you can here just how talented he is, so I hope he's in a better place now. RIP Andy! 🕊

The smiths and morrissey touch on your enter core of self consciousness 💯

It's a bit surprising that Nick Cave isn't really a big thing amongst Mexicans considering how often we wear our heart on our sleeve and our usual appreciation for sad songs.

Why don't people appreciate the jet-black humor in Morrissey's lyrics? I mean come on "Say Charles don't you ever crave, to appear on the front of the Daily Mail dressed in your mother's bridal veil"

I think you just described the Irish too. Plus, our great storytelling and humor.

Mexicans for Morrissey and up with the the wind.

Morrissey's lyrics are not simply "sad." Especially the lyrics that he wrote while he was in The Smiths. Most people take his songs too literally. Meanwhile, Morrissey is singing with his tongue firmly in cheek. People miss the humor, dark as it may sometimes be. Morrissey is also very sarcastic. Most people seem to miss this fact as well. Most people seem to miss mostly everything in life. They see only the most superficial level of art and of everything, and they never discovered that underneath that thin outer level lies a gigantic depth of many meanings and interpretations. This may be because most people are very shallow, and so they erroneously believe that everyone and everything else is as shallow as they are. Now THAT is quite sad.

You nailed it. People miss the humor in it.

Funny thing is that us white people loved Mexican emo/screamo for a while. One of my favorite bands is At the Drive-in. I think that stuff really doesn't matter at all. There is no cultural appropriation. Once you put something into the collective consciousness, its there for anyone who wants to make it theirs

Morrissey writes with his heart and his mind. He might be feeling a certain way about a situation, maybe genuinely sad. But he can also see the inherent humor and absurdity in the same situation. Some songs are basically sad, some are mostly funny, some are a mix of the two. Marilyn Manson once said Courtney Love “writes with pure heart, not much mind.” Pete Townsend once described Kurt Cobain as “having a lot of heart, but he’s sort of a heroic fool.” It’s good to have a variety of different types of artists, but some are obviously more doomed than others.

This was explained on Ant-Man…Peso Pluma’s Bye tho😥 and Netflix’s The Killer has me on a Smiths kick

im starting to peice this puzzle together

2:12 I had a friend who went to Depeche Mode shows because he knew he could meet girls with dark hair and red lipstick (this was back in the 90s). As a Mexican American growing up in South Texas I always wondered about the connection we had with The Smiths.

I grew up in Downey Los Angeles County in the 90s I'm a white girl obviously! But all my friends every single one of them are Hispanic (I obviously ended up marrying a Mexican guy having kids with him as well)whether they were Mexican, Cuban, Costa Rican whatever my friends turned me on to The Smiths & Morrissey. My Great Great Grandparents on my mother side came here from Ireland and on my father's side England. I learned what good music was from all of my Latino & Latina friends . I'm Soo Lucky to grow up in L.A. because I was around a lot of different cultures & I've since moved away & try to explain it to others over here in the Midwest. How i grew up around Mexicans and I immersed myself into their culture I myself had Tia's and Tio's because my aunt's & uncles married Mexicans too . They just don't get it here I told them how we (in the 90s) went to warehouse party's & raves and during the day Listened to Depeche mode, The Cure,& The Smiths . All of this stuff-raves and Techno another European thing that was introduced to me by my Mexican friends. Afterwards it was always going to King Taco for Carne asada tacos though. I wouldn't give up my childhood for anything in the world and Thank you to all my Mexican friends keeping me" cultured!"😉

Whoa this blew my mind! I'm not mexican or latinx, but I always wondered why there were so many greaser-looking (the rolled up jeans look) latinx people in my school worshiping morrisey. Some of the cholos were repping morrisey too, which is weird now with this information. So it was basically to be oldschool emo. I'll never look at morrisey-repping cholos the same again.
