Morrissey no longer a hero for young British males according to Loaded poll
posted by davidt on Monday April 25 2005, @09:00AM

 Suswa writes:

10 years later and the views of 18-21 yr old British males have shifted. Perhaps they should have polled the males now 28-31 to see if Morrissey is still in their top 5?

      Trends come and go and the English bois like a bit of posh these days - if knock-off versace and burberry scarves can be seen as "posh". Bring back the Lonsdale and Dr. Martens lads and stop aspiring for this celebrity & cash-obsessed wanky culture! And what has this got to do with Moz anyway?

      "The popular image of the young British male as a beer-swilling, loutish thrill-seeker has been declared dead by Loaded, the iconic 'lads' mag' that did so much to promote it.

      Research commissioned by the title ahead of a relaunch this month shows that young men are aspirational, ambitious and, above all - sensible."

      This is very contradictory where Morrissey is concerned; for example, which of these two profiles best fits him, both now and then? Once again he proves himself ahead of his time, along with the perceptive folk who bucked the trend with him from the start.

      Moz rules forever!!

        Beckham, Justin Timberlake - good looks, no substance, commonplace.

        Morrissey - handsome, artistic genius, an original thinker and a poet.
        He's got it still.

        I wonder what it will be like in ten years.
        Below the Equator things are even worse.

        surely Morrissey was the forerunner (Score:0)
        of the unfortunately-named "metrosexual" movement?

        He was wearing nice scent, Gucci and being all enigmatic and expressive long before it was fashionable to do so.

        But alas, the lowest common denom have spoken yet again. They've chosen a bunch of tedious celebrities with very little between their ears. Not much has changed.
