The Smiths were influenced by a variety of artists and genres, including 1970s punk rock bands like the Sex Pistols and The Clash, as well as 1960s pop and rock musicians such as The Velvet Underground and David Bowie. Their sound was also shaped by the jangly guitar style of bands like The Byrds. Lyrically, Morrissey drew inspiration from literature and the works of writers like Oscar Wilde and Jean-Paul Sartre, infusing their music with a distinct sense of melancholic introspection.
