Happy Couples Never Last was an American independent record label founded in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1998 by Clark Giles.[3]

According to Giles, the label started when he saved up money to take his girlfriend on a trip, however they broke up and Giles ended up using the money to help his friends release music.[4]

The label produced over 40 recordings, and is seen as an important figure during the second-wave screamo scene during the late 1990s and early 2000s, releasing early recordings by Usurp Synapse, Love Lost But Not Forgotten, and Pg. 99, as well as releasing the compilation album Relics of Ordinary Life, which included contributions by various screamo acts. Other notable acts that released recordings through the label include The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower and Racebannon. The label is inactive, their latest release being issued in 2006. [4]

gollark: Some people also dislike ubiquitous international shipping for reasons.

gollark: (although consciousness and being a sophont are not the same thing)

gollark: I'm reminded of that "if materialism is true, the US is probably conscious" thing.

gollark: It would be much easier than forcing people to think the same way to keep it working.

gollark: You could actually check if your society was running a sophont, though. And run it on other computers.
