There's a band in Denmark called TV2 that always refers to themselves as "the world's most boring band". I don't think they took REM into account when thinking up that slogan.
"Everybody Hurts" was actually directed at Kurt Cobain. They were friends and Stipe was basically trying to reach him through his depression.

Anyway, REM may have been somewhat hit or miss in the 90s, but their 80s stuff is pretty great imo, especially the first EP and first album.

Shame it didn't work. Maybe he should have tried an intervention instead.

I totally admit that I never heard any of their earliest songs.

I actually like a lot of REM. Just not that damn song.

This song was written for Kurt Cobain too.

Sad, depressive music doesn't really make me sad.
It makes me happy because it's beautiful.

Sometimes you just listen to stuff that matches your mood. Most of my favorite music is usually dark and somber or extremely violent, but I'm like the happiest upbeat person in the world because I shoot up heroin behind the high schools with the teenagers.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

Yeah no we get it you're a post-juggalo. When the trailer park block party is winding down you're the guy talking about the Holocaust with the 92-year-old Auschwitz survivor as research for your next mixtape.
