Shiny Happy People remains one of my all-time favorite R.E.M. songs, and I am not kidding when I say that.
I think that old Denis Leary promo on MTV back when Shiny Happy People was everywhere when it was as single turned some people against it.

Of course, although Reed's alleged dalliances with drug abuse, bisexuality, androgyny and electric shock treatments and his propensity for mind games are well documented in various accounts, it doesn't necessarily mean that the song lyrics are about him.
Sure, there's probably some of him and of people he knew in there, but what "walking on the wild side" (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist) has truly given him is the freedom to write about anything.
