Along with all crazies out there binging on Outbreak and Contagion, it seems that our obsession with on-the-nose pop culture has rocketed R.E.M.’s 1987 hit “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” back to the charts. Ugh, if this is the tune apartment dwellers decide to sing here, I’ll just stay inside.\n
’s 1987 hit “It’s the Enddecide toon the iTunes charts as of this writing, which makes sense considering it’s certainly the low-hanging fruit of the apocalypse soundtracks. I’m annoyed by the fact that we’re totally ignoring the “I feel fine” portion of the title, which almost certainly nobody does. You can’t just cherrypick the parts of the title that apply to the current circumstances! There are RULES HERE.

Or, it could be that no one recognizes that the end of the world is coming because they are too focused on being entertained and happy. Everyone feels fine, but they are ignoring the problems in the world.My interpretation is that I’m annoyed that thinking about this song
for the time it’s taken me to write this blog has gotten it stuck in my head. Thanks for nothing, internet!
