Are there any songs in your life that got so overplayed you can never listen to them again?
For me, it's "Everybody Hurts" by REM
genuinely a great song
but it was so exhaustively overplayed back in the 90s -- licensed for just about every single weepy scene in any TV show or movie, on infinite loop on terrestrial radio -- that I reached some sort of lifetime saturation
I cannot abide it, even decades on now, a single time
it's like an allergic reaction
I need to *leave* the goddamn *room*
