I bought a shirt for someone after a DM concert and they turned it down, because they were too popular.
When did they become mainstream?
*”I don’t want to sound like a queer or nuthin’, but i think Depeche Mode is a sweet band”* -Dave (Matt Stone) : Orgazmo (1998)
I was 13 when I saw the video for Enjoy the Silence, and I was fascinated.. absolutely glued to the tv, the melancholy synths, the beat, David Gahan walking around mountains dressed like a king. Loved it! DM still ranks high in my Spotify end of year wrap up every year, though I’m not sure how because I do listen to a lot of other bands now.
Was DM popular in America before that song?
Didn’t they become more mainstream in 85 with People are People?
Nice move bro
Your face kinda looks like a cuter oz Perkins
In 1990/91 I wore a Bart Simpson “Don’t Have a Cow, Man!” shirt and was given the option to turn it inside out or take a 3 day suspension.
Bart Simpson.
I took the 3 days …not because I’m a rebel …but because I have sensitive nipples and the picture would have chaffed them raw.
Depeche Mode was always pop music. I’d understand if you said, for example, that it was a Joy Division or Sioux and the Banshees t-shirt.
I still proudly wear my Depeche Mode shirts!
Good depeshe mode was a garbage band phew thank god adults did right thing you should thank them
Now you can wear it normally now that Sabrina Carpenter is all the rage
coincidentally it was 16 when your hairline got too mainstream and decided to recede
Too mainstream in 84??
