Depechen Is More Depeche Than Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode used to be one of my favorite boyfriends. For me a synthpop band using the arpeggio synth function is like electric guitar riffs for a metal head. I sincerely was acting like a swooning bride of death for Depeche Mode’s music when he first came out. However he never topped Some Great Reward in 1985. I really tried to get into his coldwave influenced Black Celebration no matter how fashionably depressed I got. I couldn’t love Depeche Mode as much.

Oh, there were some good times with Depeche Mode after 1985. Several songs were good on Music for the Masses and I thought he was returning to form on that album. His massive hits during his Violator days like Enjoy the Science were neat but when I found myself whooping it up during one of his live concerts with a bunch of sorority chicks surrounding me, who loved New Kids on the Block too, then I knew my relationship with Depeche Mode was almost over.

My boyfriend became arena synthpop to be listened to beside a crackling fireplace on a rainy day rather than being all glam and dark in a nightclub. I did adore Ultra and thought maybe I could get used to my boyfriend’s slow, moody, and sometimes seductive stuff, but I just couldn’t be with him anymore. Every song sounded like the same mid-tempo pout.

I appreciated Depeche Mode’s symphonic direction but then I found Depechen. Depechen is my new boyfriend now. He remains obscure and underground. Nobody knows about him and he is a loner and a rebel with a warm heart. Depechen is who I think Depeche Mode could have been.

Sorry Depeche Mode, I want to break up with you for good.
