      Don’t worry, you can still have plausible deniability - listen to their song Kunst and you’ll see the Depeche Mode meaning has been co-opted and muddied by the band. You know, for fun!

        oh that’s fascinating to learn that this was a very very widespread bit of fake news back then. Like Marilyn Manson being the kid from Mr Belvedere. Or Marilyn Manson having a rib removed so he could nibble his own sausage.
