Every single one of us is unique in some way. We don’t look alike, we don’t walk alike, we don’t dress alike. And, in relation to today’s topic, we are not all on the same energy level. But one interviewer made the attempt to equate her enthusiasm with Robert Smith’s and that conversation ended hilariously.
The Cure was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And it was a huge moment for the band and their fans. However, the lead singer/guitarist, Robert Smith’s way of expressing that excitement was typically British.

Perfect response in the face of ridiculous over the top idiotic red carpet US interviewer. Straight up Brit "I am a goth afterall" blunt answer. #RobertSmith https://t.co/JPZET7Z6FJ

By her own admission, the interviewer is a fan of the band and that’s why it’s understandable why she was so excited to see The Cure get inducted into the Hall of Fame. Thankfully, she wasn’t too shaken by Smith’s sharp-witted response and was able to conduct the rest of the interview really well. So, kudos to her and The Cure.
