The Cure have put some happy and popular known songs out on most of their albums to say they are a gothic band. They have compromised and become more famous through it, so now they are lamenting their early days in the new song. I don't see the realness in doing that to be honest. Unlike the Manics who don't pretend they are still their GT days.

Well yeah, the Cure have gone from new wave to goth to pop, then back to goth, then for a brief period they've experimented with shoegaze and psychedelia, then they've pretty much gone back to goth. That's their definitive sound.
Whereas the Manics have gone from punk to hair metal to alternative rock/grunge to brit pop to whatever the fuck KYE is to synthpop to proper indie rock (IKTZG & TGW) to a puzzling amalgamation of the worst aspects of all of the above. They've dabbled with so many different genres that they don't even have a definitive sound at this point.
