Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Most genx music wasn't dark. But most of rems music was
Strange flex, bruh.
That is Kate
JacksonPierson from the B-52's, I love her and I will knife fight over itAlso irony and whatever
Edit: I'm getting addled, sorry.
I always thought this had an ironic 'happiness' to it....like Pee Wee's playhouse...
It wasn't meant like the happy song people make it out to be. According to Stipe himself "It's a fruity pop song written for children. It just is what it is" and it was inspired by some Chinese propaganda poster from the Mao era.
Some dark irony right there.
I LOATHE this song! Love R.E.M. though.
R.E.M. was awesome. This is the one and only song that they're ashamed of doing.
Don't forget Presidents of the United States with the upbeat song Peaches and also the Spin Doctors were pretty upbeat too!
yeah, i wasn’t a shiny happy person when this came out.. couldn’t relate.. lol.
It was hard to defend REM in high school after this shit came out. So embarassing
