      I am Not fine with AI, amazon, Facebook, twitter, tik tok, Hulu, disney plus, netflix, high tech smart phones, living online, politics. Not fine with all that bullshit. These are changes I hate. And I am not fine with them.
      And everyone else. They are pretending to be fine. Just like they always do.

    This is from The American Songwriters Guild:
    “The meaning of R.E.M.'s song "It's the End of the World as We Know It" is a confident and hopeful acceptance of a new era, even if it may be troubling. The song is not apocalyptic, but rather an uncovering of things that were previously misunderstood and unrecognized. It’s a message of resilience”.

    For those here who care, this video shows a kid playing in his house that was torn apart by a tornado digging in the mess of random stuff all over the place making some sense of it and picking up what he might keep. He kept the dog and his skateboard. He's young, soon to be a man and full of hope and he will rebuild his future. This song isn't depressing and isn't about the end of the world. Its about change. The lyrics are a mess of random stuff that Humanity must make sense of, pick up what it might keep and go forward.

      well, the 80's were my youth... yet my tastes changed, while pop music (it's true) remained quite the same - if it sounds *modern* to you, it may be because pop music stayed stuck in some ditch, on the side of the road of music - as for me, if i'm allowed to say so, i do not think it sounds modern, at all !

    • @eboethrasher
      @eboethrasher Рік тому +60

      that's only like 6 years, and considering how much REM influenced the sound of 1993, I totally understand it. Without REM, you have no Hootie and the Blowfish, no Pearl Jam, no any of those bands. REM helped forge the alternative/indie/college rock scene in the US. There were other bands but they helped break it through along with some of the other OGs. Husker Du, Replacements had the sound, Goo Goo Dolls existed but not like this, Soundgarden existed in 87, but mainly you had REM, 10,000 Maniacs, Replacements at the top of the US alt heap around that time period. I'm sure I'm forgetting others, but they were the top dogs. Pixies were not even there yet at 87. The Smiths were busy imploding over in the UK, The Cure were hitting it big in the US, likewise for Depeche Mode with Music for the Masses, Love and Rockets were getting ready to break wide open in the next couple of years. Jane's Addiction was ready to break out as well. People talk about Nirvana breaking it wide open but they ignore that The Cure and INXS and Depeche Mode and REM were having hits before Nirvana. Though Kurt himself would happily remind you about REM. He loved them. Moved next door to Peter Buck and that's where he took his own life.

      If you're in Pirate Kansas (Arrgghh-kansas), you're already living in hell. That place is a boil on the face of the northern hemisphere. Saw an article the other day talking about all the minerals and metals in the ground. Maybe if the whole state was turned into one huge strip mine, it would improve the property value. The best thing I experienced while I was there was seeing those "You are now leaving Arkansas" signs. Escapees should get some sort of prize for crossing the state line back to the land of the living. You can always tell who's from there... they have one eyebrow and calluses on their knuckles from dragging them on the ground. The star on the flag that represents AR should be replaced either a turd emoji. It would be more accurate... 49 stars and a pile of poo.

    I've always heard this as a comforting song. It's reminding you to stop catastrophizing over the state of the world and pay attention to your own needs, instead of getting hopelessly crushed under the weight of things you have no control over. Part of the mind is having a nervous breakdown while the other keeps insisting on having time alone through the backup vocals, and occasionally chiming in "listen to your heartbeat" or "don't misserve your own needs" through the verses. It's been almost 40 years since this song's been released and the world hasn't ended yet.

      3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. That’s you bro, by the way they have the red heifer prophesied in Daniel, possibly to be sacrificed this coming Saturday, only 9 have ever been sacrificed this makes 10 and 10 is the number of judgement so you can lie to yourself all you want but Jesus there will be wars rumors of wars earth quakes in divers places right before he comes back signs in the heavens we have major eclipse happening in 2 weeks so if I was you I would get right but you can go ahead and curse me out and blah blah blah, but it’s a clarion call! It’s all happening right now so I would head the call give your heart to Jesus because it’s about to get wild and I have peace in my heart Paul said whether we live or die we are the Lords

      Mark Fisher (RIP) wondered about the same thing and he found some very plausible answers. Culture basically stopped evolving because neoliberal capitalism closed all the little loopholes that still existed up until the late 80ies. After that, everything's just a nostalgia rehash of things that came earlier.
      One of the prime examples Fisher gives is that of punk music. Punk could only develop in the 1970s because there were still ample opportunities for young pennyless artists to congregate in London. Many of them lived as squatters, and that's where they found each other and had the freedom to try new sounds. All that ended when all those loopholes and little side-alleys of the system were closed and monetized.
      These days, prices for everything are set algorithmically and there are no more such "crevices" of freedom in the system where people could get together without everything being only about money. That's why.

    [Lyrics]
    That's great! It starts with an earthquake
    Birds and snakes, an aeroplane
    and Lenny Bruce is not afraid
    Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
    World serves its own needs, don't mis-serve your own needs
    Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no strength
    The ladder starts to clatter with fear of height, down height
    Wire in a fire, representing seven games
    In a government for hire and a combat site
    Left of west and coming in a hurry
    With the furies breathing down your neck
    Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop
    Look at that low plane! Fine, then
    Uh oh, overflow, population, Common Food
    But it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself
    World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
    Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right, right
    You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light
    Feeling pretty psyched
    It's the end of the world as we know it
    It's the end of the world as we know it
    It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine
    Six o'clock. TV hour
    Don't get caught in foreign tower
    Slash and burn, return
    Listen to yourself churn
    Lock him in uniform and book burning, bloodletting
    Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate
    Light a candle, light a votive
    Step down, step down
    Watch a heel crush, crush
    Uh oh, this means no fear; cavalier
    Renegade and steer clear!
    A tournament, a tournament
    A tournament of lies
    Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives
    And I decline
    It's the end of the world as we know it
    It's the end of the world as we know it
    (It's time I had some time alone)
    It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine
    (It's time I had some time alone)
    I feel fine
    It's the end of the world as we know it

    It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine
    (It's time I had some time alone)
    The other night I tripped a nice
    Continental drift divide
    Mountains sit in a line
    Leonard Bernstein, Leonid Brezhnev
    Lenny Bruce, and Lester Bangs
    Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly beans, boom!
    You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, but neck, right? (Right!)
    It's the end of the world as we know it

      "We didn't start the fire" came out 2 years after "It's the End of the World." I don't know how much one influenced the other, but both songs captured the feel of the time. A sad cynicism and fear of impending nuclear holocaust brought about by the Cold War. We were taught the real effects of radiation and nuclear fallout. Movies didn't romanticize nukes (like in Resident Evil, say, where they survive a nuclear blast in a helicopter). And we were all happy and surprised when the Cold War ended without that horror. That's what makes Trump's interest in dusting them off so horrifying. No, it wasn't like living with the .01% threat of a terrorist sneaking into the country, which is less likely than getting struck by lightning. I don't want to go back to living in that constant fear that you push to the back of your mind because you have to function but you feel that everything is doomed.
