While watching the video, I remembered what Mr. Echeverry said about underground music and popular music. While popular music might be considered trends, underground music is usually ahead. This is because underground music creates the perfect environment for experimentation, while in popular music is more likely music already developed and approved for the masses. In my opinion, things like hip-hop, rock, electronic, etc... in their moment were considered underground, and it was not until those young adults transform into decision makers that those type of music were considered popular music.
Smiths for me were the results of a society full of uncertainty. I think first was developed underground, and then became famous by the Smith at the right place and time, Manchester. Once the heart of the Industrial Revolution was facing a lot tension and they will no listen to lies from the current pop in the media that try to spread that everything was alright. The Smith were able to win the people's heart by telling the truth and making a connection with the real things that are happening in society.
