Michael Azerrad Quote

People have misconstrued the pessimism and anger in our songs, Mould protested. We’re really the opposite of all that; we’re not callous, insensitive people. But we’re frustrated by the fact that most people seem to end up that way—hopeless, defeated. We’re afraid of ending up that way ourselves, and that fear comes out in our songs.
