Why
The simple and repetitive lyrics of Dinosaur Jr.'s "Don't" may at first seem like a plea for affection from someone who is constantly rejected. However, upon closer examination, the lyrics become more complex and nuanced. The repetition of the question "Why don't you like me?" suggests that there is a deeper question at play here, one that may not be fully understood by the singer. Is the rejection due to something the singer has done, or is it simply a matter of the other person's tastes and preferences? The ambiguity of the lyrics leaves this question unanswered, but it also allows for a wide range of interpretations.
The tone of the song is one of frustration and desperation, as the singer pleads for someone to understand them and accept them for who they are. The simplicity of the lyrics is matched by the rawness of the guitar-driven sound, creating a powerful and emotional experience for the listener.
Overall, "Don't" is a song that speaks to the universal experience of feeling rejected, misunderstood, and alone. Its simple yet powerful lyrics and raw, emotional sound make it a timeless classic in the world of alternative rock.

My favorite Dinosaur Jr. song, and the perfect song to blast outside of your ex-girlfriend's window at 3 in the morning.
