Wow. THIS. Perfect.

The problem with Moz Solo is that the most active posters here are mostly bitter middle-aged men. Let's face it. 20 years ago they perhaps still had some imagination and life and fire burning inside them. They were miserable, but not the way they are today; they believed that they could change something, that there was some importance about their misery, that there was something to live for, that it was okay to love strange popstars; they found Morrissey, and Morrissey helped them, and they thought that Morrissey would save them, but Morrissey didn't and now they're left with nothing but bitterness.

I'm 19. I don't think too many posters here are 19. This doesn't mean that young Morrissey fans don't exist; in fact, I believe there are more young Morrissey fans in the world than maybe ever before. Morrissey has become an important part of alternative youth culture. (Or maybe he always was.) The young fans just communicate elsewhere. This kind of twists the image. If you look at this website, Morrissey seems to have almost no fans at all, and the few ones hate him. In reality, this isn't the case.

Maybe I should get out of here.

I was going to give you a full response to this, but judging by your last sentence it would be a waste of time. Another victim of a modern education system which has failed to teach the nuances of debate and argument, and instead has been taught to make a point then run away and stick your fingers in your ears.

I'll just say this: If you are the same man at forty as you are at nineteen, if you waste two decades of experiences, both triumphs and disasters, and remain the same, then more fool you.

Way to go Johnny! I wanted to respond but could not think how to address such a daft generalisation. The answer is, ofcourse, don't bother.
Is there not a latin phrase for when you attack the person instead of the issues?

I'm pretty sure you just described Morrissey...

they found Morrissey, and Morrissey helped them, and they thought that Morrissey would save them, but Morrissey didn't and now they're left with nothing but bitterness.

He isn't a f***ing singing psychoanalyst...some people just like his songs and his voice. Period. If you feel like Morrissey has "helped you through a hard time in your life", then you're a weak idiot.


So you weren't even old enough to have hopped aboard the Quarry bandwagon...:lbf:

Then you're a moron.

Morrissey has become an important part of alternative youth culture. (Or maybe he always was.) The young fans just communicate elsewhere.

Go communicate there then.

If you look at this website, Morrissey seems to have almost no fans at all, and the few ones hate him. In reality, this isn't the case.

Morrissey went from selling 400,000 albums in 2004 to 250,000 albums in 2006 to 88,000 in 2009. He's lost a majority of his fanbase. Fact.

Maybe I should get out of here.

Go on, then.

Hehe.

I love the smell of ad hominem in the morning.

Smells like...




Victory.

Is Morrissey capable of saving others? He seems unable to save himself. Does Morrissey have a messiah complex? Or is it you who have projected that upon him?

Ask yourself why you have the need for a Jesus-like figure in your life.

You are young. You'll learn.

Age... can make one jaded... even bitter.

But youth... well, you really don't know jack shit at 19. Though you think you do.

These things take time.
 
Barleycorn is alright. You, on the other hand, seem to have an IQ of a piece of toiler paper.

Shit. I don't want to sound cruel. But I've seen too many of your posts, and seriously, I hope you're one of those people with below-average intelligence who are aware of their stupidity. Because if you actually think that you're making sense, then you're unbearable.

Great. I'm becoming one of those mean Morrissey-Solo posters. I suck too.

The English have a funny sense of humour that some people find difficult to understand and you are one of those people.
Benny's posts are a piss take at Morrissey's own game (witty/stubborn/stupid/bitterness etc etc) except he posts on here instead of true2you.
Its a bit like saying "What's good for the goose is good for the gander"

Lets get married Benny

Right on!

Why hasn't he lost you?
 
Because his sense of direction is too acute.

I just don't understand why he makes the case over and over of how much of a failure Morrissey is and hangs around here every day. Am I saying everyone has to love Morrissey to post on a website dedicated to him? No, it's a place to offer valuable criticism. But why stick around and do it ad nauseum for years? :squiffy: His motivation confuses me.

He refuses to accept the reality, keeps demanding things he can't have.

I think it's because Morrissey fans are in general very sensitive. Easy targets for a not-so-smart bully.
