Listening to the Cigarettes After Sex CD now. Recommended if you like melancholic hipster pop.

Converge is a metalcore band which I'd say makes them pretty much commercial, this whole album was the darkest thing I'd ever heard until I heard Burning Hell by Brainbombs

hank williams, sr.
He's one of the first things I thought of when I saw the thread, but also country in general. I mean "cocaine blues" is about a guy doing blow, killing his girl and then getting caught. You don't even have to dig deep for country songs with topics of hard drugs, sex ect.

Of course David Allan Coe's famous "x-rated" songs come to mind

I dunno if these groups would count as a "mainstream" act or "decadent" one, as the context of both words can be widely described in some senses. I'd say some of the stuff from the more modern synthwave/synthpop/darkwave, ect. could maybe fit in this topic. I'd say Male Tears or Night Club, which definitely feels more Italo Disco even than the for mentioned genres and a bit more "fun", perhaps not mainstream in the sense that they are popular selling, chart topping artists, but popular enough in the sense to potentially become mainstream. Their decadent side, I'd say that simply just falls under the counter culture of the material, where it's fashionably dark or decadent, but perhaps not in some deeper context, if you know what I mean.

Will post the lyrics here as the implication isn't really obvious from the title:

QuoteTrapped in a mine what had caved in
And everyone knows the only ones left
Was Joe and me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale
Was Joe and me

Timothy, Timothy
Where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy
God, why don't I know?

Hungry as hell, no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
One enough to swing for two
And Joe said to me, "I'll take a swing
And then there's some for you"

Timothy, Timothy
Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy
God, what did we do?

I must have blacked out just 'round then
'Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around to finding Timothy

Timothy, Timothy
Where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy
God, why don't I know?
Timothy, yeah, oh Timothy
Timothy, yeah, Timothy

I've been enjoying the new Morrissey album a lot. Just have a weak spot for this man.

All major label albums, all as bleak and authentically severe as any PE or noise I've ever heard. Different medium, same message.

Hard agree with The Holy Bible. Edwards truly was one of the best lyricists of all time and this album is proof of it.
