my feeling is that after adam's very public diagnosis with bipolar disorder (following the kentish town incident), interest in the band and its important contribution to the post-punk genre was overshadowed by a new narrative focusing on better understanding of mental illness and support for celebrities, like adam, whose erratic, careening behaviour was too quickly mistaken for shenanigans by their entourage.
