Will Toledo of Car Seat Headrest, whose song "Oh! Starving," appears in the second to last episode of 13 Reasons Why, has joined the chorus of voices criticizing the show for glorifying suicide.

In a series of tweets last night, Toledo discouraged young viewers from watching the show, writing, "Please don't tell kids how to turn their miserable and hopeless lives into a thrilling and cathartic suicide mission."

Toledo encourages impressionable youth to watch Selena Gomez in Spring Breakers instead. OK!

Sorry, dude.

Music is an integral part of the show, and the soundtrack even contained plot clues, so fans are definitely paying attention.
