Violent Green was a band from Seattle, circa 1993, when Kurt Cobain and Stipe were friends. Who's guitar is Peter playing in the video?
"You"=Cobain,"I"=Stipe. Stipe is older, not quite a celeb, and surprised that Cobain is so aware of pop-culture, and his place in it. "You" love the slang, dog the scene(Courtney said they talked music mostly), struggle with fame -"You wore our expectations like an armored suit".
"I" studied your Slacker/grunge culture, and just don't get it. R.E.M. chose outdated slang, WtFK, to obscure the subject, and a grungey guitar sound, as parody. That's my take - please support/refute!
