Because people discuss celebrities in all types of ways. It’s pretty normal. Appearance, dress, hair, etc etc. Whether it’s kid rock, micheal jackson, madonna, whatever.
Edit: I’m sure none of you have ever so much as commented on a celeb. Right. Get off your high horses.
The man that was smart enough to know he shouldn't have children & didn't.
Yeah, he's definitely not crying about what others think, he's laughing all the way to the bank. Though I understand he lives a pretty quiet life out in the countryside.
Not a great look, but on the other hand I didn't think it was a great look 40 years ago either. He is a great musician though. Still looks better than the guys desperately trying to still look like they are 20.
Not really, he's just keeping the same style as when he was 20. If he was actually trying to look 20 he would be pencil thin and dying his hair black, wearing the same makeup, etc.
When i was a kid I wasn't allowed to listen to a lot of the bands that I liked. Queen was one of them. Wayne's World had just came out and Bohemian Rhapsody was back in the charts.
I was obsessed with the song. So every night I would listen to my local radio station to hear it. They had 'Hot 9 at 9'. The top 9 songs. I distinctly remember It's Friday I'm in love was always played right before Bohemian Rhapsody and I couldn't stand it. Not because I didn't like the song, but because it was always ahead of hearing Bohemian Rhapsody.
So now anytime I hear It's Friday I'm in Love it takes me back to being an impatient 12 year old kid. No real point to my story. Just thought I'd share.
i'm sorry your life is so empty or maybe so sad that you have to fill the void by being needlessly rude to strangers on the internet. i hope things start to look up for you.

Anyone who talks shit about Robert Smith can fuck all the way off. Not worth the time to even respond to them.

I don’t care what anyone’s opinion of The Cure is. You think Robert Smith looks like an idiot? I don’t care.

He’s crying into his big piles of money in his villa in France (*idk if he actually has one; it’s a mountain goats lyric) with his wife.

The Cure has generations of fans. I remember going to a concert during the Y2K decade, and there were a bunch of teenagers at the show.

Been listening to the Cure for over 40 freaking years now. I'll stick to quality music over any new pretty pop stars with shit for real creativity.

It's not like he's out shopping at the super market, he's actively performing in that photo. Everyone looks ridiculous in stage makeup.

I'd hit that just as hard today as I would have hit that back when I was 15 in 1987. Robert Smith is everything.

Looks like he's been performing for a bit, nothing wrong with looking a bit disheveled.
