FIRST TIME HEARING 'Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence' | GENUINE REACTION

[@Manclad-wv1zy]

Blows my mind when someone says they’ve never heard of Depeche Mode … especially in the UK.

[@bardy18]

pretty wild

[@micbarker6256]

2 lads in my team both around 30 also had no idea who Depeche Mode were (I'd just seen them the previous night for what the 6th or 7th time). Played Enjoy the Silence for them they recognised the tune but had no idea who the band were. Similarly they had no clue about Pet Shop Boys. Lot of young people have no clue, they've never been to a concert - they can't afford it.

[@ebbhead20]

@@Manclad-wv1zy i lived in england in most of the 90s and nobody i met cared about them. They were on tv 2 times in the 6 years i lived there. And 90% of people I met said... didnt they die out in the 80s ? So that makes totally sense to me... Brits didnt care about most of the British bands i know...

[@LazloHo]

My favorite thing about 80s new wave is that it has gotten better with time. During the 80s, at least in pop and rock, there was a bit of division. You had fans of what would become classic rock, people inspired by the 70s. Then there was glam rock and the proto new metal. Of course there was overlap between those two groups, lots of it. Then, finally, there was new wave, and not a ton of overlap. There were radio stations that would play Deep Purple and Def Leppard but if you wanted to hear Echo and the Bunnymen you needed to spin the dial. At the time, the criticism of new wave was that it was 'soft' as compared to rock, with absolutely no commentary on the quality. Now, of course, with people our age, the overlap in fans for all of those genres is near complete. Nearly all of us would be happy with a radio station that went from Boston to Metallica to Tear for Fears. More, though, in terms of artistic merit, new wave has finally gotten its due. For my money anyways, new wave is much more timeless than that late 80s glam rock.

Always makes me SO happy to see yet another “kid” discovering a band like Depeche Mode. April 2023 I had to move mountains to get to San Antonio, TX, nine hrs from my home in central Arkansas, and overcome a list of other complications and hurdles, but I managed to see them at the beginning of their last tour, and was really impressed with how much energy they still have onstage. Dave is still the ultimate frontman, still all over the stage throughout-he always manages to hold the audience in his palm the whole time. I knew there would be a sizable number of younger fans-I’d say about 30% (at least) were under 30. They’re still popular with younger people, like my 17 year old, who has grown up being introduced to this from both parents, and really loving it. She was actually the one who was supposed to go w/me-but of course something had to screw that up and keep her from being able to go. (Obviously I still went and loved the show, but just wish she’d been there w/me.)

Depeche Mode is a mix of 80s industrial rock, nu-wave, synth-pop, and goth. Goths love them, metalheads love them, and pop listeners love them too. Enjoy the Silence is technically synth-pop or synth rock. And they are British. And from the 80s into the 90s. But came out with a new album last year. My favorite song is Everything Counts. I heard that song first as a cover by a Swedish Death Metal band. Personal Jesus is a favorite of mine too. Depeche Mode is the most covered band in the world. Enjoy the Silence is the most covered song ever in history. Every modern band from emo to gothic to swedish death metal has either covered this song or covered another Depeche Mode song.

[@markd6170]

[@pattyfreeburn3743]

OH YEAH! That song is certainly one of my favorites from them❗️

[@impopquiz]

Can’t go any darker than Blasphemous Rumours! 😅

[@tonyguilliams5849]

Depeche Mode, New Order and Duran Duran are my favorite New Wave bands! You need to do ‘Black Celebration’, ‘Policy of Truth’ , ‘Never Let You Down’ and ‘Precious’ by Depeche Mode next!!!!!

[@AE-xs5ze]

Keep exploring this group. They have some truly amazing songs.

[@geiger63]

Wow! I’ve only heard the studio version. This is great!!

[@mandynuske4065]

Yeah same enjoyed this a lots because of the "live vibe " Surprised me because I'm not really into this 80s style

[@GeminiPurPower]

I can’t wait. Saw them a couple years ago with my daughter. It had been on my bucket list since the 80’s..lol 😅 then to come full circle and share them with my kids.❤❤❤

[@maidep227]

My favorite band of The 60’s - The Doors The 70’s - Pink Floyd The 80’s - Depeche Mode The 90’s - Radiohead My favorite band of all time - DEPECHE MODE. It is the soundtrack of my life.

[@t.t.1571]

Welcome to my favorite band of all time!

[@JulieLAgresta]

I saw them in Melbourne, Australia Live in 1994 & Blew my mind, loving them all those years waiting on them to return. Best concert Ever & still obsessed with them so many years later❤❤

[@icedhazelnut959]

Have loved Depeche Mode since they first came on the scene. Thanks for all your reactions today. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

[@wolfsongravenwing2314]

"Precious", "In My Shoes", "Black Celebration", and so on...

[@Every_Day_islike_Sunday]

Words like violence break the silence...❤ I relate to this so much, as many of us do.

[@mgroot]

They sold out 80k stadiums in Germany in minutes for their 2023/2024 tour. If you want to se audience participation check a live version of Never Let Me Down by them, especially at the end of the song.

[@joannejephcott900]

This is my favourite live performance clip of this song; I watch it repeatedly and it always gives me the chills. Dave’s moves are epic, and the contortionists on the screen add a surreal vibe in the best way. Perfection!

[@eileen742]

You're in for a fantastic treat with this one. That head of yours will be nodding big time! Enjoy, I definitely will❤

[@jen_eks2163]

YES, my favorite band of all time. Saw them perform last year - it was a great experience! Although my fav DM song is 'Stripped', i'd suggest 'Never let me down again' next.

[@mctrashpedal]

Good call. Better yet, *both* (;

[@jen_eks2163]

@mctrashpedal Agree with that!

[@Mainecoonlady.]

Omg…. Concerts cannot be replicated. To be in that crowd, with thousands of fellow fans, chanting lyrics with your favorite bands and artists. It’s incredible. Then it happens! The lead singer dances up the aisle to your section and before reality sets in… you can literally touch Steven Tyler or Jon Bon Jovi or Prince. Getting front row seats for Def Leopard or Chicago or INXS or Styx or Whitesnake or Journey or Frampton or YES or Boston or ELO or Poison or Van Halen or Springsteen. I can just keep going. We were lucky to have these concerts when music was great and you could get front row for $100-200, USD. Unfortunately, it’s in the thousands now. But save up and pick one. Doesn’t have to be front row, just being in a crowd singing their song to the bands. You never sit down, you pay for the seats and end up standing, singing and clapping for hours. I hope you get to experience a live concert. ❤

[@sunlight8757]

I've been a fan since 1981. Depeche Mode have been with me, for a large part of my life. I've been to a lot of concerts. They carried me through my hardest times, with their music. I love them with all my heart. ❤🌹🖤It's very nice for me to see, that such a young person, like you, is so enthusiastic about the song.👍👏🥰

[@butterflylove4268]

Well, it was our music, dispatch, fashion and an exceptional powerful magic band, I'm 56 years old and it was my favorite band and still is so yes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I'm 56 years old French and I still love it for the information know that they were in competition with duran duran the 2 bands are British thank you for appreciating the music of our youth and good work for your video

[@amelias.2509]

This particular video is spectacular. Dave Gahan is one of the best front men in the business. Their mvs are artsy and cool. Their music is legendary. Fasten your seat belt!!❤

[@CholyFlower]

Declan you have just witnessed musical religion. Depeche Mode is not just music they are an experience I’ve been lucky enough to see 3 times im my life. I suggest going down the rabbit hole you’ll never want to leave

[@lizmcatee]

You could actually call Depeche Mode industrial as People are People really put them on the map with an industrial sound. They are legendary, I have seen them live many times, always the best experience. You've only dipped your pinky toe into their catalog and picked a great song and performance to start with. Keep going, do the entire Violator album, you will not be disappointed!! 💙🤟💙

[@stephenshipwash7021]

The original music video back in the late ‘80’s is the song that hooked me on Depeche Mode. That was when MTV played videos! Depeche Mode is the bedrock of my musical taste to this day. Thanks for doing this review and I hope that you have found an appreciation for them.

[@rebeccahill7912]

I was a member of the DM fan club back in the day. Love them.

[@GeminiPurPower]

So glad you’re getting to experience the music I grew up with! Just shows you how talented, creative and fantastic music singers and writers were. It’s so fun to watch your pure joy and love. ❤

[@blockysplacocker]

My 3rd fave band of all time, been following them since 1984. They are insanely fantastic live. Dave Gahan's one of the best frontmen of all time, he can make an audience do whatever he wants. Check out a live version of Never Let Me Down Again if you want to see more incredible audience participation.

[@tarabogia4307]

OMG. This takes me back...my sister and I were such fans!!!! LOVE this song.....hope you like it too.

[@kewikid68]

That's my favorite band! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Biggest fan since the 80's. This song is from back in the days! You definitely MUST visit a concert!!! This energie is insane! Dave Gagan is what we call in Germany a "Rampensau". He's live at his best!!! 💯💯💯 DM has very, very loyal fans! 💪🏻💪🏻

[@badhobbit9303]

I don't normally watch reaction videos, but watching you experience this bands music for the first time reminds me of the way I felt when I first heard DM. I hope you explore more of their work. They really are legends.

[@AP-gb3eh]

The concert experience of a beloved band that you’ve moved through life with is a great experience. Definitely make the effort
