"Reddit" is an unreleased song written by Rivers Cuomo. It is an early form of the song "Here Comes the Rain" from Weezer's 2021 album, OK Human.
Overview
Rivers Cuomo originally wrote the song for his friend, controversial author, philosopher, and podcast host Sam Harris.[1] "I felt like I have more experience dealing with the internet and trolls because all that arose right when we were making our most controversial records," Cuomo told Los Angeles Times regarding the song "Here Comes the Rain," "I wanted to explain to Sam how to not get sucked into it." Cuomo also revealed the chorus originally featured the line: "Don't go on Reddit". A song with the title "Reddit" from 2018 was previously listed as dummy data on the demo storefront on riverscuomo.com in 2020.
