Above is a picture of The Smiths, what some call one of the greatest bands of all time. The Smiths, formed in 1982, sang in a whole new genera of music. A genera known as the UK Underground was the birthplace for this band. These boys along with others began to sing about the way things were around them. There songs reflected the feelings of many young people at the time, and not just in the UK but everywhere. Lyrics such as the following, "There's a club if you'd like to go, you could meet somebody who really loves you. But 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." from the song How Soon is Now? reflect a darkness of the generation, and it was something a lot of people were feeling.
