American Rapper FIRST TIME reaction to THE CURE - Boys Don't Cry!

[@JackSigafus]

You have a deep rabbit hole here: The Cure, Depeche Mode, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Smiths, Siouxie and the Banshee’s, The Church. So much of the music of the mid to late 80’s. Pop melodies, dark lyrics, unlike anything that came before it.

[@girlfriday-nl9we]

British band The Cure always was reinventing itself and its sound - pretty sure frontman & leader Robert Smith is the only band member who has remained a constant. I think when their first album came out in ‘79, they were a trio. The debut album had one version released in the UK & another in the US, with different titles, album covers & slightly different song selections (seems like “Boys Don’t Cry was only on the US version? All the other songs on the debut albums are edgier & darker). At times they’ve been a 4-piece, and a 5-piece. Their sophomore album was very ambient, somber & moody and the next two downright dark - so that trilogy of albums left many with the mistaken impression they are a goth band. But by the early to mid-‘80s they were making some seriously giddy synth pop - Smith said his writing reflects the ups & downs of his life. By around 1989 or ‘90, they released what many consider their masterpiece album, “Disintegration,” which is back to being a bit on the dark side. I consider them Alternative Rock, but when they first emerged on the scene they were consider Post-Punk/New Wave. I think Smith resisted trying to be a mainstream, commercial, hit-making band, yet they still had big hits; so they kind of straddle the underground/cult label with the mainstream category and are still very much an international band as far as their audiences go. As far as I can tell, they’ve never stopped playing big arenas and stadiums, so they’re not one of those bands that has moved from the big time to playing medium-sized cities (which means I may never get to see them live). Robert Smith’s is the voice you hear on their songs. To appreciate his song-writing genius, listen to his sparse, angst-ridden “10:15 Saturday Night” and realize a teenager wrote this (he was 19 when it came out on the debut albums, plus they had recorded it a year earlier for the BBC Peel Sessions, which you can find on CD). Smith is not only a great songwriter and vocalist but an underrated guitar player. The Cure was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. After 4 decades or so, their catalog is pretty massive, you might start with their one (that I know of) greatest hits album, 2 “best of” CDs that don’t have”best of” in their titles, or stream their Billboard hit singles to get a feel for them. They don’t have just one sound. Their darker songs don’t depress me - they validate how I feel (the rare, deep album cut “The Upstairs Room” is an example). The also have a lot of upbeat songs - their pop masterpiece “The Lovecats” for instance” - and some of the most magical romantic songs: “Lovesong,” “A Night Like This” and “Just Like Heaven” to name a few. It’s a toss up whether The Cure is my favorite band or The Doors. Both bands’ frontmen are genius lyricists/songwriters because their words are so poetic and meaningful and their melodies so emotional. Both were counterculture rebels (but a decade or so apart, & from different countries). Morrison and Smith were both charismatic & hot, though Smith is more reserved. Both bands were full of extremely talented musicians. I guess those are some of the common denominators of why these 2 bands are my favorites. Addendum: The Cure did a great cover of The Doors’ “Hello, I Love You.”

[@nobodyimportant1337]

Robert Smith is the voice of most of my adolescence. I dearly love The Cure. 80’s was such a great and diverse time for music and allowed you to fall in love with so many genres.

[@Unangelic73]

Close To Me. Pictures Of You. Friday I’m in love. Love song…all great songs by The Cure. Depeche Mode are another amazing band 80s Gothic Rock/New Romantic/New Wave…love itttt!!

[@jasastrman4936]

Burn 🔥

[@jasastrman4936]

Strange day 🤔

[@BBStyles777]

Boys Don't Cry by The Cure was on The Wedding Singer soundtrack. Depeche Mode is also a killer band that started around the same time as The Cure.

[@IronRaspberry]

You may have heard the Cure “Lovesong”. It was popular in the US. It’s one of my favorites,

[@karenglenn6707]

The Forest live in 1992 is just a magical experience!!!!! They are brilliant live!!

[@zoeherriot]

So damn true. I saw them live on the 1992 tour and it was a highlight in my life.

[@MindsNmotors]

All time favorite band. Just Like Heaven is the most amazing purely written pop song. It just lands in a way that's hard to describe. The only band where I can listen to their entire catalog and not skip a song.

[@paulrodsted3905]

Yeah just like heaven is my favourite cure song....

[@Violette-k1w]

The CURE ... BEST ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD !!!

[@KernNZ]

The Cure is where the Goth sound began

[@amberhoward7807]

not necessarily... no. Goth has many influences going back even before The Cure.... and also, though The Cure is known very much as a Goth band, it is not actual Goth music. It is pop music. Robert Smith even explains this himself. But Robert Smith is Goth so this band is beloved by all Goths. I know Robert even left the band for a while because he wanted the music of the band to go in a more Goth direction like Siouxie and the Banshee's and Buzzcocks.... He wanted the band to go in a more darker road, but the band wasn't ready to go that rout or it was executives or something.. But they didn't agree so he left for a little.

[@Mx.RumpusParable]

The Cure are one of those bands you've heard a thousand times and never known until you hit those songs because..... movies, tv, adverts, games, at the grocery overhead, restaurants..... 40+ years of work across genres and Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. You've heard the lead singer's voice a Lot probably. They've had multiple major hits. And dead on - this was from their first, (primarily) post-punk genre album. I fell in love with The Cure before I knew who they were, just heard some of their hits in my early teens and later found out their name and started diving into albums alone and with friends. 30 years later and just did my 4th concert last year (in which, not for the first time I saw them, they played for about 3hrs). Oh, and they've some SOLID "put the songs on when you wanna wallow in sadness and self-pity over something for a while" songs lol. If I need a good bit of catharsis every few years I'll get miserable and put on the Disintegration album. Between the mix of how sad and how beautiful different songs are... quality let your hair down and let it out music lol. They also a huge amount of upbeat and fun and funky and this and that. Like said, 40+ years across genres. I've only just found your channel and am jumping around to different reactions you've done and am really enjoying them! Let me tell you, your reaction to Tool's The Pot was a breath of fresh air compared to the, let's phrase it "not as thoughtful", more common takes one sees. Would love to see you do more The Cure. A not-so-listened to one that I'd suggest: Jupiter Crash (no spoilers to the song but a helpful reference if you don't remember back to then: the name comes in connection to comet Levy hitting Jupiter around when it was written) Some things you may end up recognizing: Just Like Heaven, Lovesong, Fascination Street, Lovecats, Friday I'm in Love. Among personal favorites: Disintegration, From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea, A Forest, Letter to Elise (also rarely checked out by folks... overlooked imo), Let's Go to Bed Okay, that was a novel. Apologies for verbosity but, yeah, one of my fave bands. Another mentioned Depeche Mode - have to go look to see if you've reacted to them. If not, another 40+ year band that is so worth the dive and varies genres while staying themselves.

[@nettiemac]

On their lone tour a few years back, Temple of the Dog covered Fascination Street - and it was like my late teens & early 20s just melted into one big time warp goo and it was SO damn lovely hearing Chris Cornell sing it.

[@victoriagrove5344]

I love The Cure! They are amazing, from the 1980’s. “LOVESONG” is a classic!

[@Sintax666]

there from the 70s

[@elshakirby7517]

I was a huge Cure fan, saw them in concert, 1990s… Big hits were Fascination Street, Love Cats, Friday…. PS, my son and I are huge Ren fans and I love how you’ve opened up so many hearts to Ren’s genius and compassion!

[@barr790]

I Love The Cure, i still have my Boys Don't Cry T-shirt from when i was a kid, i had it on the other week and my daughter said "who wears a top wirh Edward Scissorhands on at your age" absolute cheek of it. Great band, Pictures Of You by them is my favourite ❤ looking forward to your reaction.

[@MrDirty-if7gc]

Their Disintegration album is a must own, right on.

[@bellarebelrose5896]

Love that you reacted to The Cure! Four decades of awesomeness, plenty to choose from if you decide to go down this rabbit hole, which I hope you do. Robert Smith's voice, lead vocals of The Cure, is pretty distinct, you may of heard it in passing in movies or tv shows...the first movie that comes to mind is, "The Crow" featuring the late Brandon Lee, they did a song called "Burn" for the soundtrack. The Cure was a staple growing up in the 80's, we called it "Goth" or "New Wave". Some other fantastic bands from that genre: The Smiths, Duran Duran, Blondie, Joy Division, New Order, Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, and Echo & the Bunnymen. Enjoyed the reaction BP!! Thank you!

[@AngB517]

The scene in The Crow that 'Burn' is overlaid on is freakin' iconic. It was a perfect track for that.

[@Barzo7]

The Cure are one of the so many great bands from the UK in the 1980s... Simple minds, Duran Duran, Madness, Spandau Ballet, Depeche Mode, Wham, Tears for Fears, The Police, Eurythmics, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Genesis, Culture Club, Queen and many more......

[@Ennui.]

This was their first big hit, off of their 1979 debut album "Three Imaginary Boys"... During this time, they were very much inspired by punk, especially by a band called "The Buzzcocks". By the time their 2nd album "Seventeen Seconds" came around just a year later in 1980, they had gone for a totally different, Goth Rock sound that they are known and loved for... They are often regarded as "The Grandfathers" of the Goth Rock genre. A song that was featured on that 2nd album called "A Forest" became a staple of the genre. They experimented with a more Synth focused, "New wave" sound later on in their career and they did wonders with that too. Great band all round, still active today, 45 years later and they still sound great!

[@maddalenacherchi]

Omg...the cure😢. . Nostalgia..❤ Thank you from Italy.

[@kenneth2875]

This video is from the 80’s. It is a single from their album. The group is still together today. The real group are the shadows. Their biggest song in the US chart is Just Like Heaven. It is classified as alternative rock.

[@kdiiellfjjdkelslle-pg6em]

A forest, Lullaby and Friday I'm in Love are my personal favorites, but they have so much good songs, so would be happy if you did more of them.

[@HeyHayzel]

Love The Cure! So many amazing songs! Just like heaven was really popular, and could be the song you've heard from them. Robert Smith is an Iconic vocalist and front man! I absolutely love and respect how he has kept his same style and hair as he has aged, even when most say he should change! 🥰♥

[@Leks3777]

More Cure! All their hits! So good, they never disappoint!

[@briandeal9133]

My favorite band , so many good songs. No band can make you feel like you are walking on clouds and then go dark and heavy , slow . They are truly an amazing band .

[@TD_JR]

The Cure is quintessential 1980s and for all us Gen Xers out there, we were fortunate to have this in our youth.

[@Evildivadoll]

As someone who has always loved The Cure, watching your face while you listen, and getting into the song makes my heart so happy. Too many people are missing out on the feelings their music gives...Thank you!

[@ms.dirtybird7779]

What!!! ❤❤❤ so ready for this! My favotite band! Recommend The Lovecats and Mint Car. Ooo, or Lullaby. There are so many!

[@misterx1969]

So technically, this is new wave popular music of the early 1980s. The people who listen to this at the time dressed all in black with capes and frilly shirts and brooches and stuff they called themselves Goth. This is goth music this band is quintessentially goth.

[@manna6618]

When I was 12 my beautiful mother died of cancer... being a boy I was not allowed to cry. I had to run a bath and cry under water...it crushed my heart. I got out the bath and pretended everything was fine. You don't understand what it means to be male... boys don't cry. :/

[@KevinHall-n6v]

2 tunes that come to mind are " lullaby " and " Friday I'm in love " from the cure both with different jibes. Keep up your great content guyz , awesome freestyles.

[@QueenColeBleu]

I was a kid listening to The Cure. My big brother was a huge fan. I was a little kid of the 80's, who knew who The Cure was and when they were on tour. I'm a huge fan now ✌️💙🎵 Check out the tune Pictures Of You. I'm in love with that song right now ✌️💙🎵

[@N0Sheeple]

Pictures of You nearly killed me in 1992 (personally tragedy). But I still love it!

[@Themacchuck]

Teenage metalhead me also loved the cure and the smiths. Because, the music pulls the heartstrings. We all need this in our lives.

[@shirleygarcia8092]

This is so weird! I was driving home tonight and started thinking about the best concerts I've been to. Weezer, Van Halen, Tedeshi Trucks Band and The Cure. When I got to The Cure, I thought BP should react to them. Check the channel and BOOM. LOL 😂 One of my favorite bands from the 80s! New Wave back in the day. Considered one of the bands that "crested" Emo. Robert Smith (singer) is awesome!

[@J3nJ3nl0llip0p]

I saw them in '89, when Disintegration released❤❤❤ and, ummm....emo wasn't a thing back then... #GothBoys #GetInLoserWereGoingCrying

@@J3nJ3nl0llip0p right, The Cure is credited with inspiring the emo culture into being. Among other genres and lifestyles.

[@violetfemme411]

LoveSong and Picures of You are 2 of my faves 💜

[@Arieeeee]

You've probably heard some Cure songs and never realized. Their biggest hit is Just Like Heaven which you have to listen to; Lovesong also got a lot of radio play; Close To Me was always a club favorite; Fascination Street is like a goth club anthem; Lullaby is dark; In Between Days is more upbeat.

[@katiequesada3857]

the cure is my favorite band! you have to listen tomore songs, youll love it. and their biggest hit is a forest, you probably know that song.

[@t0ddtu63]

They had a bunch of hits. They were considered the world biggest cult band. This record is kind of pop punk. They change every record. Nerf Herder is fun. Missed seeing Nerf Herder multiple times, but I have seen the Cure 6 or 7 times. Check out their B sides.

[@beanie237]

friday im in love, close to me, love song, inbetween days, pictures of you and lullaby are my favs , also they did songs on the soundtrack for The Crow movie Burn is the name of the main one I think

[@Melkor1818]

One of the best groups of ALL TIME. Since 1980 until 2024 theyre even better now. The new material is some of their best they did have a big hiatus putting out albums. Friday Im in love and lovesong are the big notable songs.

[@M_J_Hammer]

Glad that your first reaction is early Cure so you can see how they evolve as you (hopefully) do more! My first exposure was the album 'Faith' (1981), it's very melancholy verging on dark and I loved it! Over time they did lighten up and produced some great upbeat songs - 'Love cats', 'Just like heaven', 'Friday I'm in love'. A great band well worth exploring further. Cheers.

The Cure is a post-punk and new wave band.

[@erikaronska1096]

I've always been a Metal Head, but in high school in the 80's my best friend Dion was into this music (we called it New Wave). So this is VERY nostalgic for me, and I'm here for it! I had a Cure T-shirt which had their faces in a bunch of weird colors, when my Grandpa saw it he said, "If that's the cure, I'd hate to see the disease" 🤣 "Killing an Arab" is probably my favorite Cure song!

[@JeremyWamhoff]

The Cure - Friday I'm In Love, or "Burn" - off the The Crow Soundtrack is probably what you are thinking of. Those 2 songs blew up big in the 90's. However I think "Plainsong" of the Album Disintegration is one of their better ones as well.

[@sdg5270]

Robert Smith finally explained that this song came from his childhood when dealing with bullying.

your discussion of liking a song or type of music that doesn't quite fit your "crowd" or genre I like to call my guilty pleasure. I mainly listen to harder stuff like Tool, Five Finger, Slipknot, so on but The Cure I'll never skip over and there are some others as well. Embrace it man that is what makes music so magical. There are certain songs, bands, singers that can cross those lines and just make something that touches your soul, regardless of how they are playing it or singing it. Keep up the good work sir and broaden those horizons...

Dude, you could do a different song by The Cure every day of the week for several weeks and not run out of material. The Cure formed in the late 70’s, as a group of friends from school, members of the band have left and come back over the years but they still play SOLD OUT concerts to this day! I saw them over the summer and they were amazing… you should also see what Robert Smith did to keep their concert ticket prices LOW on their last tour. It shows that this band is all about the music and less about making millions off their fans. Another reason to love The Cure! As for songs, Love Cats, The Walk, A Forrest, 10:15 Saturday Night, Charlotte Sometimes, Push, Primary…. and mix in live performances. That’s where they shine.

AAAHHHH my favourite band. I’m almost 45 and discovered them at 16. Seen them live a few times now, the latest was just the end of last year. Bob’s voice is still as rich sounding. An unbelievable catalogue of work to get through. So happy you’ve discovered them. They have a few different sounding albums just because, like any band with their length of time in the music business, they’ve gone through some changes. These guys have been going from the late 70’s so they’ve been going for a while. A band born out of the UK post-punk, early New Romantics, Goth scenes (although they always say they aren’t goth but they so are lol. Us goths love them!)

[@jon-paulfilkins7820]

This version is a re-recording of one of their first singles released to promote their first singles collection. Here in the UK they are a national treasure. Yes, they have had a couple if US hits but if any band can be described as the worlds biggest cult band, its a coin toss between The Cure and Depeche Mode. Not all their songs are like this, they started pop-punk/post punk but there is psychedelic influences creeping in along the way, they helped invent 'goth' along the way, they like to bring things in and mess around with them. Yet always they sound like The Cure. Wrap your ears around their 2 singles collections "Standing on a Beach: The Singles" and "Galore: The Singles 1987-1997". to get a good taste of what they are about.

They had a TON of hits in the 80s. Us metal heads would clown all of the new wave bands for being soft, but as I got older I realized that these guys are FANTASTIC musicians and song writers...Robert Smith has a great story married his sweetheart back in the day; so many of their songs are about her...they are still together to this day I believe...

The Cure was underground to me, sometimes a song or two would make the airwaves but they felt underground to me. Very influential as well. One of my favorite Rock en Español bands influenced by The Cure is Caifanes. Their stuff is in Spanish but great music as well.
