Meat Is Murder (1984) is the second album by English band The Smiths.

Tie-dyed T-shirts were especially popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a way of signaling one’s affinity for the Grateful Dead and the hippy movement of the 1960s. At the same time, a popular refrain among punks, an opposing countercultural movement, was “hippy stands for hypocrite.”
