"As a skinny well-dressed person with a rich inner life (Cocteau Twins, etc.) it seems everywhere I turn is another fat dead-eyed seed oil addict stumbling back home to watch superhero movies for children."
"It had earbuds in and I ripped them out and listened and it wasn't COCTEAU TWINS 🤮🤮🤮"
"Ask these people what music they listen to and it's generic metalcore or perhaps Nirvana, but Bauhaus, Cocteau Twins, Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy, even Siouxsie and the Banshees, are all, for the most part, completely foreign names."
"Listening to music while getting it on with someone makes me so fucking embarrassed. How am I going to suck his dick to Cocteau Twins?"
"Like a girl I knew in college who introduced me to the Cocteau twins and Eric Rohmer films is now dating a dude who collects guns and is in the Marines."
"Sea, Swallow Me - Cocteau Twins"
"I wonder why God chose to me from all of these flaws and I think it's because I have a couple mostly-unread books of poetry and listen to Cocteau Twins"
"Some other random honorable mentions; • You just haven't earned it yet baby - The Smiths • Starman - Bowie • All you need is love - Beatles • Ain't no mountain high enough - Marvin Gaye • It's my life - Talk Talk • Heaven on Las Vegas - Cocteau Twins"
"Called the Cocktail Twins where two people get drunk on martinis and karaoke their way through the Cocteau Twins' catalogue for an hour or so by rote memory. A lot of bad sounding melodic nonsense punctuated by the occasional **AM I JUST IN HEAVEN OR LAS VEGAAAAAAAAAS**"
"I feel like people just get Cocteau twins wrong in general. The only discussion I hear about this band is stupid jokes about not being able to understand the lyrics. The guitar work alone in their music is so powerful, so beautiful and so so innovative. Sonically Cocteau twins sound futuristic even "
"I was introduced to the Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd (Luz) in this sub. Some Bobcat shared this song. You can't imagine how grateful I am for it."
"Listened to Souvlaki, Nowhere, LSD and the Search for God, some Astrobrite, and most of the Cocteau Twins' and Duster's discog but haven't found anything quite like m b v out there."
"Why is Radiohead, The Smiths, My bloody valentine, slowdive, weezer, cocteau twins etc.... considered virgincore music. I dont get it they're all mainstream/ extremely popular who are artists a lot of girls listen to and they make normal sounding accessible music"

"The guitar work alone in their music is so powerful, so beautiful and so so innovative. Sonically Cocteau twins sound futuristic even today and they were putting this stuff out in the 80s????"

"Peaceful serenades from Cocteau Twins to poppy songs bursting with love of life from Bjork"
