The persistence of this myth speaks to the psychology of fandom. The Cure’s entire discography is built on cycles: love, loss, depression, reluctant hope. A song titled “The Cure Pt. 3” promises resolution. Pt. 1 was the youthful, quirky introduction. Pt. 2 was the descent into the abyss. Pt. 3, in our collective imagination, would be the return .

That is the most Cure thing of all. Have you ever fallen for a fake Cure track? Or do you have a bootleg you swear is real? Let us know in the comments below.
