Depeche Mode on being "discovered" by new, young fans

[@estherliscano160]

As parents we raised our kids on DEPECHE MODE. Once you are hooked on DEPECHE MODE YOU ARE A FAN FOR LIFE. WE ARE FANS SINCE 1987. DM FOR LIFE 😊

[@user-vu1pe2vs4q]

Yeah same my dad did listen to them as young guy and I grow up with Depeche mode

[@gabbymarion]

True

[@irisss-34]

👏🙌🧡❤️

[@dbyd777]

My daughter is 12 and at this moment she is playing in a loop "Everything counts".

[@kufitop]

Also with 12 yo daughter! When we have long drives (sometimes even short) inevitably she puts on a ton of DM. She always wants me to sing along; I have a DG/MG voice and of course have been singing these songs for decades. It brings me such joy to share this music with her!😊

[@flufycat2748]

👏👏👏

[@jrhenry686]

I eas drawn to this band by its high quality, great sound and excellent videos. Yet when i have a closer look at their 'videos' is see its almost totally Demonic/Fallen angel/Satanic - Have you noticed? If not i can point it out friend. From what I've been told, amongst many other forms, the demonic easily finds its way in through thought. This means its launched by Lyrica, Visuals and Actual Confrontation (which in at least one vid is happening I believe) Please take care-but we've all been there😅) Peace 🙏 Praise be to Yeshua HaMachiach/Jesus

[@milendee]

@@jrhenry686 Outch... 😄 So you still afraid of "something" from that you are already saved? Think of it.

My sister committed making me DM fan when we were child in the '80s. I'm grateful for that.

[@saltgoblin64]

I grew up listening to DM because my dad has been a huge fan since their inception. We just went to the Memento Mori tour earlier this year and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t tear up a few times.

[@swxldblob6285]

I'm 20 and I discovered their music about 3 days ago and man... how could I live until now without it, it's just insane, my personal favorite so far is But Not Tonight, but there are many more that I like and even more that I still have to discover ❤😁

[@becool_444]

Congrats you’ve discovered the greatest band, every song will be your next fave… listen to Blue Dress and One Caress ❤🎶

[@jlcmsw]

Buy their album Black Celebration. It’s one of their best. I bought it at a garage sale when I was 17 and couldn’t stop listening.

[@becool_444]

In addition to BC, I’d say Violator and Ultra make their top 3

[@darcymags8538]

Good for you! You will love it. But 3 days so far..? There is 40+ years of material to disover and many more favourites you haven't probably heard yet. It's going to be amazing journey! :)

[@djkenny1202]

Congrats! They changed my life as a 14 year old in 86. Ive seen every tour. Took my kids to the Sacramento CA show on a road trip spring break. We all ❤️ DM! Music For The Masses is my all time fave, and Black Celebration. But cannot fault anything 1994 or below.

[@meraxestargaryen7217]

I'm 19 and I just discovered them bc of "The last of us" I'm simply obsessed their sound is so unique and timeless I swear I thought it was a new band or so, I was shocked when I knew they've been in the industry since the 80's! They're amazing!!!

[@AudacyMusic]

Great show AND great music, what a combo!

Im 13, i love DM. I first heard thier Music when i was like 6

I was born in '81. Got into, "The Mode" when I was 11. Even then I knew they were ahead of their time. It's no surprise kids discover it and feel it's more modern music

[@MarquitasKnottyCrush]

It was a new discovery for me. The record store was playing Ultra when I walked in last month and I was in a trance🧡 i would love to see them LIVE

[@margiesantiago7227]

I’ve been listening to DM since the 80’s and have been to many of their shows. I played DM in the car all the time. Today my son is 20 and for Easter we were cooking and and listening to music and DM’s Enjoy the Silence came on and as I started to sing my son was singing too!! He knew all the words! I was like you know this song? He was like Ma come on it’s what I grew up on 😅😅❤

[@messisauce2880]

My favorite part of going to their concerts is interacting with all the older fans who come up to me excited thats I’m such a young fan. Favorite interactions was “I’ve been listening to them longer than you’ve been alive, and yet here we both are!”

[@alesaccoalf]

my dad always put depeche mode songs when I was a kid, when I was growing up, and i just fell I love with them

[@David-l3q3m]

I'm 22, I was aware of Depeche Mode as I listen to older stuff generally. However, only recently did I purchase Black Celebration and started to listening to them like a fan.

[@AudacyMusic]

Discovering an album you like is the best feeling 🙌

[@justynaw4609]

Black Celebration it's the start of their forever greatness:) wanted to say have fun, but the album is quite gloomy 😂 just enjoy !

[@tomservo5347]

It's because Depeche Mode brings listeners of ALL genres together.

[@nunc-hic-stans4211]

I started listening to DM with their first album when I was 12/13 y.o. then when I started to work in my family factory, luckily I was able to listen to music while working and all our employees became fans, even my father who was a tango man, then my younger brother, now all my nephews, even the younger ones who are 10 y.o.. Long live DM, greetings from Buenos Aires 👍🏻👏🏻

My daughter asked me to get tickets for your concert. I was so happy

[@jonasrodriguez444]

Because depeche mode were ahead of their time... so their music fits this present generation... my office mates who are in their 20s say & i'm 48... who sang that?!... then i just smile proudly & at back of my mind say... it's depeche mode the sound of my time...

I'm 23 and although I've liked some of their most known stuff like Enjoy The Silence or Personal Jesus, I only started to listen to them more about 2 months back. I always liked 80s music and I just started listening to their discography out of nowhere. Ever since, I'm hooked, I know most of their stuff by heart already, have bought DM merch and also going to their concert next year!

Been listening to dm since about 84 when my parents brought home some of their music from a trip to the UK. Still my absolute favorite

[@curricane_]

My dad has been a huge depeche mode fan ever since the communism regime fell in our country and since then he hasn’t missed a single tour. When I was young we used to go on trips and he would always play their songs so naturally some of the melodies got stuck in my head but I never gave them a listen on my own.. Couple of years later he bought tickets for me and himself to their concert and I was blown away by the atmosphere and honestly enjoyed the every second of it so much, it was amazing!! I got hooked on their music afterwards and I now I understand why he likes them so much

My dad introduced me to this band when i was little 🥰 my child now who is 5 loves depeche mode , must be surreal to witnesses youre music continue to touch people and become new to someone else ❤

[@_monamono_2382]

My first introduction with Depeche Mode happened when i heard “Enjoy the Silence” on TV (it was like an hour long program, where they played hits of 80s-90s), when i was 16-17. And not until i was 25, i haven’t listened to any other of their songs. Oh boy, maybe it was a matter of time, or something else, but i am so happy that I re-discovered DM again in my late 20s. Now i am 26, i’ve been lucky to go to their show in Paris 🇫🇷 this year, and might i say one of the best shows i’ve ever been to. You just had to be there, to witness how big DM still are. The crowd.. i’ve never seen a crowd so big in my entire life. And how much fun everyone was having from big to little. They are truly, one of a kind🖤

[@Dreamdancer11]

Depeche mode are eternal...i know a whole lot of metalheads for example(Myself included) that have no interested for electro pop style music but we pretty much all loved depeche mode for decades....a truly transcendent band...

[@MyNameIsKayser]

Hearing Never Let Me Down Again at the end of the The Last Of Us pilot was a joy.

[@deirdrediaz3718]

I can answer this, my older brother made me listen to DM and I grew up loving them. When I had kids, this is mostly all I listened to so my boys grew to love them as well. Now my older bro has passed and DM is one of our most meaningful memories shared so now I have the Violator rose tattooed on my ankle with the stem that says my brothers name. DM will always be in my heart and my playlist just like my brother. If I play a song in the car I bet you that my now teenage/ young adult boys will sing along. ❤

[@JCTiggs1]

I was at the Vancouver show and it was great to see the huge age difference, young and old. Been listening to DM since late 80's. 😊

[@NickFlores_Music]

I went to see them yesterday in Atl with my younger sister, my dad who introduced them to us when we were practically babies, saw them in Mexico in the 80s. To answer the question yes this is a generational thing, and not forced whatsoever we love DM ❤️

Love DM since 'People are People' days, today I was listening to 'Taking a ride with my best friend', on my phone so I put on pause to go into the quick store, and the staff was arguing about store related problem, my phone came back on, and they all stopped an looked at me, I thought it was their music, turns out it was my phone, they're all 18 or 19 yr olds, asking me 'What is that? I said it's Depeche Mode', I had to spell it for them before I could leave the store, not really, but close. Your timeless guys..

[@ashvanes484]

This happened to me. Huge DM fan all through 80s to 2000s, CDs, went to shows. I kinda stopped listening for a long while, shifting to modern bands in including Chvrches, Odesza etc. My then 13 year old wanted to go through my CD collection (in a box, not out, I use Spotify like everyone now) after asking for a CD player, and pulled out my DM CDs. I had no idea they were even of interest. So we talked and shared notes on songs I recommended! Then this summer asked to go to the MementoMori concert for a birthday gift! We went - together -- last night. my 19 year old self did not in any way contemplate such a thing would be possible. I love it.

My kids have been listening to my music since they were babies hahaha. I was born in 1973 so I grew up listening to disco and the music my parents played at home which was a wide spectrum in English and Spanish. We listened to the radio and got into the new wave, new romantic, techno, synth pop, etc at 8 years old. Depeche Mode, Siouxsie and the Banshees, David Bowie, The Cure, Duran Duran, New Order, The Smiths, Kraftwerk, etc, etc, etc were among my favorite bands and singers. So my kids grew up listening to the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s music they have come with me to many concerts since they were young kids.
