Out There is a song by Dinosaur Jr. written by J Mascis and taken from their 1993 album Where You Been. The single album was released on June 12, 1993.

Notable for its guitar solo and use of chimes, Out There was a moderate alternative radio success in the US. Released as a single in Europe, Out There charted at number 44 in the UK. The song has since been praised by critics as a highlight of Where You Been.

Out There is one of the more aggressive rock songs from Where You Been, contrasting with softer songs like Start Choppin and Goin Home.

When asked about the best riffs he has written, Mascis named Out There alongside Sludgefest. He explained, “I like Sludgefest and Out There. Out There being more of what you’d consider a riff. It seems a bit complicated for me to play and sing, so I’m impressed. It seems a bit over my ability.”
