they aren't, and in fact in the 80s they did drugs and fucked girls like they were motley crue (except for the drummer, who was married to the keyboard player - too bad for him).

peter hook wrote a book about joy division, and a book about NO. the JD book is really good, but NO book is so fucking awesome, i've read it 3 times. it's like 800 pages and he goes into shitloads of detail about laying waste to puss.

Yeah, I think Clarke just shrewdly figured out that he had a knack for writing gay songs for gays, and then hired a flamboyant gay to sing them.

But he is married to a woman and has a kid.

Idiots in this thread don't really get it. It doesn't matter if the members of Depeche Mode were "straight"-- who the fuck cares. What matters is that the music was and is gay AS FUCK. It is like "how much more gay can Depeche Mode/ New Order/ Erasure be?" and the answer is "None. None more gay.

What songs of New Order do you consider to be 'gay' sounding? I am genuinely curious; I can see how Depeche Mode and other synthpop can be really faggy but not New Order, especially when you get to there non-album stuff.

I don't know. Kraftwerk and the Krautrock scene are fairly distinct from new wave, even if the former influenced the latter.

By 79-80 tons of bands were using synths. Shit, In through the out door is a, largely, a synth pop album.

Kraftwerk started as Krautrock but became their own thing after Autobahn and were huge influences on all the early synth groups. What New Order really pioneered is dance beats in 'alternative rock' music (for lack of a better term).

They are probably the least gay sounding of any synth pop sounds imo. Weren't you just saying you liked Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins and a few other 70-80s pop artists in another thread? How can you say that New Order is gay but that stuff somehow isn't?

I get that all 80s pop music, especially synth pop sounds a little gay. That includes the stuff you like like Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. Are you sure you don't just have shit tastes where you think everything that sounds good "sounds gay" and everything that sounds bad doesn't? Because True Faith just sounds 180 as fuck to me imo. I get that thats a little gay because its 80s synth pop but that applies just as much if not more to the stuff from the 80s that you like.

Yeah I guess you are right then. I just have trouble admitting the stuff I like is gay then maybe. You know whats crazy is that I used to think the smiths sounded gay and I brought this up on xo and everyone assured me they didn't. After that I kind of stopped worrying whether anything I listened to sounded gay, despite some lingering nagging feelings I had. Now I have probably been going around listening to stuff that sounds gay as fuck without even realizing it for the past 10 years. Everyone probably always thinks I'm taking aidscocks regularly when I tell them I like New Order.

It's okay to like things that are also liked by women and weak men (within reason: nothing truly faggy or degenerate) as long as you also like things that are exclusively liked by strong men. Johnny Cash is straight as fuck.

Age of Concent is their least gay sounding song IMO. New Order doesn't really sound gay, but it has some gay in it due to the 80s vibes. Also I tried to make the argument that The Smiths sounded gay here 10 years ago and the entire thread lost their shit on me and was like "ohhh no thats just the millenial fags that listen to it nowadays that are Gay, in gen x it was all straight as fuck alphas that listened to the Smiths, you only think it sounds gay because the people who listen to it these days are like that. It didn't used to be that way.

Was listening to a mix this past year and Age of Consent came on. I thought it was fucking great. Awesome song. Listened to the rest of the album and didn't really catch with me.

Age of consent is great. Must of the other early music is boring. A lot of their synth songs that aren't as popular are kind of boring too, but when they're good they're good. What about Joy Division? What do you think of them?

Yeah I think the difference is probably between "gay" and "faggy". 80s synth pop and then other pop music like madonna and lady gaga and also just girly pop music are specifically "gay", where dark, whiny, Losery weird, freak music like Depeche Mode, Joy Division, and The Cure are "faggy". The cure has some pop songs that are gay too. But their less popular stuff on the long albums is faggy.

Pretty much an xo anthem

New order and pet shop boys - getting away with it

I've been walking in the rain just to get wet on purpose

I've been forcing myself not to forget just to feel worse

I've been getting away with it all my life (getting away)

However I look, it's clear to see

That I love you more than you love me

However I look, it's clear to see

I love you more than you love me

I hate that mirror, it makes me feel so worthless

I'm an original sinner but when I'm with you I couldn't care less

I've been getting away with it all my life (getting away with it)

All my life (getting away)

However I look, it's clear to see

That I love you more than you love me

However I look, it's clear to see

I love you more than you love me

I love you more than you love me

(More than you love me)

I thought I gave up falling in love a long, long time ago

I guess I like it but I can't tell you, you shouldn't really know

And it's been true all my life

Yes, it's been true all my life

I've been talking to myself

Just to suggest that I'm selfish (getting ahead)

I've been trying to impress that more is less and I'm repressed

(I should do what he said)

However I look, it's clear to see

I love you more than you love me

However I look, it's clear to see

I love you more than you love me

(I love you more than you love me)

I love you more than you love me

Getting away with it

Getting away with it

I don’t understand how Depeche Mode are “gay”. Those dudes were straight up reprobates in their youth and probably were in heroin-fueled orgies with groupies and shit. Also their music is dark and aggressive, they weren’t like Pet Shop Boys at all.

I always thought that their dark sounding stuff was what made them gay, and their more poppy music like "just can't get enough" was what made them more normal. Dark whiny music that complains about how bad the world is has always came off to me as gay as fuck. I have since reevaluated that claim and realized that "just can't get enough" is gay, where the dark stuff is "faggy". That's the distinction I have been searching for.

Yeah I think the difference is probably between "gay" and "faggy". 80s synth pop and other pop music like madonna and lady gaga and also just girly pop music, showtunes too, are specifically "gay", where dark, whiny, Losery weird, freak music like Depeche Mode, Joy Division, and The Cure are "faggy". The cure has some pop songs that are gay too. But their less popular stuff on the long albums is faggy. Girly flamboyant gay bottoms are into peppy upbeat shit, but the real creepy deranged faggots are into the dark and experimental stuff that Losers and other weak beta men listen to as well.
