But Pink Floyd was great. Mope rock supreme. And they arguably reigned in the 1970s so I was not the only moper.
Brings to mind another great '70s dystopian prog-rock masterpiece. 2112 by Rush.

We can't be talking great dystopian prog-rock masterpieces without my nomination of King Crimson's Epitaph.
That ballad embodied the generation's anti-political downer mood. Anyone "morosely obsessing lyrics in his bedroom" has to have had long sessions with that album and a set of headphones.
