The Smiths Emotional Breakdown

THE SMITHS The Queen Is Dead

A static-style video collage shows a solemn man clasping his hands beneath a black-and-white image of a distressed person, with a woman’s cutout portrait in the corner and the text “THE SMITHS — The Queen Is Dead.” The Smiths’ melancholic alternative rock song “I Know It’s Over” plays throughout, turning the exaggeratedly mournful pose into a joke about dramatic heartbreak and over-the-top sadness. It works as a reaction to emotional disappointment, unrequited love, or any situation that feels needlessly tragic.
