Title: The Smiths – Meat Is MurderYear/Genre: 1985, Post-PunkCondition: New Cultural Facts: Recorded by the Manchester band at a time when unemployment, Thatcher-era politics, and UK youth disillusionment were shaping their outlook. The cover uses a Vietnam War photograph with the helmet slogan altered to “Meat Is Murder,” turning antiwar imagery into a militant vegetarian statement. Morrissey’s outspoken stance on animal rights and authority on this record helped tie The Smiths to student politics and activist circles in mid-’80s Britain. Show more
