Jeff Hardy is very passionate about his music career, but it appears he considered quitting music for good after getting a ton of hate for his work.
While speaking on the Outside the Ring podcast, Jeff Hardy talked about how social media started to affect him, especially with his music. At first, he never looked at the comments people left, but eventually he started reading them. A lot of the comments were kind and supportive, but some were really mean and hurtful.
Hardy said that the negative words started to get to him and mess with his mind and heart. For a while, he felt like Instagram was controlling how he saw himself and what he should be. It got so bad that it even made him consider quitting music, thinking he wasnt good enough.
The Charismatic Enigma said he stayed in that dark place for a little while, but now he tries to focus on the positive and laugh about things. One of the mean comments that actually made him laugh said, Please stop singing now. You make Jericho look like a good singer. He even jokes about that now and it makes people laugh. But at the time, those kinds of comments really affected him in a big way.
Fans of Jeff Hardy during his originalTNA days certainly remember his Modest theme song that he made alongside his band Peroxwhy?genand Hardy has released other albums afterwards as well, so its clear many appreciated his music. Nonetheless, fans are just glad Hardy didnt quit making music and thats what matters in the end.
