Alt Right Band ?

[Tommy Tainant]

Richard Spencer calls Depeche Mode 'the official band of the alt-right', band immediately denounces him

Never had much time for them but hats off to them for distancing themselves from nazis.

And people who would sing these words would not be comfortable in Trumpton.

"People are people so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
So we're different colours
And we're different creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me
Though I've done nothing wrong
I never even met you
So what could I have done"

Having dissed the band I have to say that this one track is sublime.

Depeche Mode is the band of the alt right? Even with the song "Blasphemous Rumors" with lyrics like this?

Girl of sixteen
Whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists
Bored with life
Didn't succeed
Thank the Lord
For small mercies

Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame
It's always the same
She goes down on her knees
And prays

[Chorus x 2]
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumors
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing

And that's just the first part of the song...........

They would probably call her a loser and make jokes about "safe spaces".
