Added example(s) from Curepedia. Additionally, added some context to the post punk entry.
** Pretty much every member was this at various points in history. The band drank a ton during the production of ''Pornography". In the early 90s, every member at the time [[TheTeetotaler with the exception of Boris Williams]] admitted to drinking a lot.
* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Andy Anderson, although more for his offstage behavior. During the tour to support ''The Top'', he grew increasingly violent to the point where he ended up getting fired before the tour had even finished due to said behavior.

They started out a UsefulNotes/{{punk}} (or post-punk, depending on who you ask) band, but quickly moved into a {{goth}} phase with a purposeful anti-image and a generally somber outlook. After ''Pornography'' came out, Smith felt pigeonholed by their miserabilist image and wanted to escape from it. This caused them to shift their music in a LighterAndSofter direction, arguably, which was much more commercially successful. Once they'd reached real success, they returned to that image with ''Music/{{Disintegration|Album}}'' which won over the UK and gained them fans internationally. Their music ever since is just different degrees of accessibility vs. angst.
