A Brief History of the Mode



Here's my fannish poem from a few years ago presenting an overview of Depeche Mode's career path up until the 2000s. Don't know if it qualifies as fan fiction. Probably yes. Sadly, there are few DM fics in English, so D.I.Y. is all I'm left with.

Small town
School friends
Jam sessions
Support bands

Chasing labels
Indie deal
Pop press
First success

Early split
Placing ads
Renovation
And progress

Leather look
Berlin spell
Concrete steel
U.S. distress

Gothic mess
LA apex
House prophets
Be the best

World tours
Rock excess
Long hair
Grunge-obsessed

Booze and use
Split and lose
Live and lie
Shoot and die

Still survive
Burnt out, alive
Heal the harm
Turn on the charm

Move on
Kingdom come
