What it is

"Why Won't They Talk to Me?" is a track on Tame Impala's 2012 album Lonerism, an album built around isolation and a persona who feels disconnected from others. The song centers on feeling shut out by people who won't engage with the narrator; he tries to brush it off with indifference, but the rejection still clearly hurts.
