How R.E.M. Marked the Birth of Indie Rock (and Revolutionized Music)

Picture this: it's 1980, yeah? Jimmy Carter's watching his presidency circle the drain, "Celebration" by Kool & The Gang is a hit, and in the sleepy college town of Athens, Georgia, four students are about to accidentally midwife the birth of alternative rock after it had been gestating in underground basements for over a decade. Their names? Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Bill Berry. Their secret weapon? They're too broke to afford good equipment and too weird to sound like anyone else. This is the story of how R.E.M. became the birth certificate of alternative rock, taking the DNA scattered by the Velvet Underground, The Stooges, Big Star, and the Byrds, and finally delivering a baby that could walk upright in the harsh daylight of the Reagan era.
