The Cure comprised four members: Smith, Porl Thompson, Simon SEXGODGallup and Jason Chicken Coop. They were known for their distinctive "goth" look, based largely on the artistic period with a similar name. Indeed, The Cure began life as The Church, because of Smith's life-changing visit to Chatres Cathedral that first inspired him to join a band. This name was soon corrupted into its current form, largely due to goths' inability to spell.

  • The Cure comprised four members: Smith, Porl Thompson, Simon SEXGODGallup and Jason Chicken Coop. They were known for their distinctive "goth" look, based largely on the artistic period with a similar name. Indeed, The Cure began life as The Church, because of Smith's life-changing visit to Chatres Cathedral that first inspired him to join a band. This name was soon corrupted into its current form, largely due to goths' inability to spell. The Cure's songs took a very introspective, unhappy, depressed, low, dull, blue, dysphoric, wistful, desolate, dispirited, downcast, gloomy, heavy-hearted, melancholic, dejected, downhearted, sad, tristful tone. Smith denies this, and wore lipstick to prove it (see below). Smith was responsible for songs like Killing an Arab (which features the actual screams of a young Muslim man being lynched by members of the BNP), albums like Disintegrating, and Fight Me Fight Me Fight Me. In an interview in his last days, Adolf Hitler revealed the Cure to be his favorite musical group: "I'm an idea man, and Smith conveys some great ideas, of being sad."
