Because he lives it

Are you saying you're a gay obnoxious vegan who hates brown people?

On an album-to-album level? No. But on a career-spanning level, you just might be right.

I wonder why almost no one tries to write Morrissey tier lyrics. Not just self-deprecating lyrics, but lyrics that are interesting in any way. Really helps keep a song from going stale

literally me

lolno, he's as much simulation as david bowie

the only thing that's probably authentic is the veganism

He loves chicanos wym

Because Moz was the last non-industry plant to break into mainstream music. This gave him the unique ability to vocalize the intricacies of the working man spirit despite his eccentricities
quite literally me, except the gay part

what should i listen to as an example

cause he pushed genuinity to a higher level

If the internet and Any Forums had been around when Morrissey was growing up he'd be posting here

Because he's the best lyricist of all time.

It's difficult for most people to pull it off in a way that doesn't sound pretentious

this is so true. his lyrics are simple, relatable and yet profound all without sounding pretentious and hacky.
