I spammed out my resume and hastily set up some interviews without doing much research. I don't want the job having looked into several of them. Is it okay to send a nevermind email? Is that socially acceptable?

Hi Person,
After looking further into what the job entails, I don't think it's the path I'd like to take right now in my career. I do thank you for speaking with me and I apologize for wasting any of your time.
Regards,
GOLDIE

Even if you don't want the job, treat it as practice for the interview for the job you do want.
This. Practice is so important.
Good Luck
At what point do you cut it off though? If you keep it up for to long eventually they will be pissed right. Or does that not even matter?
Didn't some kid do that to UBS a few years ago and got shat on relentlessly, by the media, people in the industry, and on sites like WSO? I think it had a little more edge to this email, but, same idea.
Not sure about UBS, but someone did that with Wells Fargo. Something along the lines of, "upon further review, I've realized I can do much better than Wells Fargo..."
Did not end up well for him.
Didn't believe you at first but wowww. His personality is not uncommon among kids gunning for high fi-Nance.

That kid did it for the sole purpose of turning them down and sent them that. They would probably be annoyed but won't care if you he goldie just says what he says.
The part of changing your mind after reading the job description will make you get shat on, because who applies to a job without reading the description. Say something along the lines that you came across some personal stuff that will affect your performance at the firm and you would rather not waste their time. Thank them so far for their time and let them know you are not applying for similar positions anywhere.
Disagree with the above, but to each his own... I would say go through with the process. You never know. The JD could be a terribly written one and you might find the job interesting, or like the people, etc. At the least you'll get some interview practice, which is critical not only now, but later on in life. You might even get to meet some cool people in the process. You can always say no in the end when you are progressing or have gotten an offer (these things can take some time and your situation may change as well). Your excuses can range from person stuff coming up, to "having thought about it deep and hard you figured that this just was not right for you and that it would not be right for the organization as well" or some BS like that.
Good Luck
