Michael Stipe was an introverted child who spent much of his time hanging out with sisters Lynda and Cyndy. By 1975, he had begun reading articles about Patti Smith and the burgeoning New York punk scene, and while in high school in St. Louis, he joined a short-lived punk rock cover band. In 1978 Stipe enrolled at the University of Georgia at Athens, where he majored in painting and photography. While shopping at the local record store, he met its manager Peter Buck, a native Californian and avid pop fan who shared Stipe's interest in adventurous music. They decided to form a band, and within a year had connected with fellow students Bill Berry and Mike Mills, childhood friends from nearby Macon who had played together in various Southern rock groups. In April 1980 the four formed R.E.M. (named for the dream state "rapid eye movement") and began rehearsing in a converted church... Though influenced by punk and the DIY aesthetic, #REM began to develop their own energetic folk-rock style. Their signature sound was a blend of Buck's chiming guitar and Stipe's cryptic vocals.
