>my generation will put it right>we're not just making promises>that we know we'll never keepThat was from 1980, why did Phil lie?
>>130204873He was gay Phil Collins?
>>130204873That line was already poorly aged as soon as it was written.
>>130204873Boomers thought they were rebels, smashing the old world order and bringing in their socially liberal free love utopia.In a sense they achieved their goal. We are living in a neo liberal shithole right now.
>>130204873Hilarious song in retrospect. Such a pointless one that says absolutely nothing at all.>"Superman where are you now"Yea, shut the fuck up
>>130204873It was delusions of grandeur, now their generation are the fat cats in the business.Sitting on all the wealth.
>>130204873Phil Collins had Reagan Derangement Syndrome.
>>130204873Based boomers, they set up a system where the wealth would "trickle down" except that it was a complete lie designed to do the opposite, now all the wealth "flows up" into the offshore accounts of unimaginably-greedy autistic tech billionaires who lack basic human empathy as they harvest our data and organs and wages. Now the middle class has been virtually wiped out, people are either dirt poor or filthy rich with no in-between and an increasingly large percentage of the earth's population lives in poverty and/or "indentured servitude" while forever struggling to repay debt accrued by education, transportation, food, housing or all the above. We're so fucked. Thanks for nothing, Genesis.
>That was from 1980No it wasn't
>>130210969Nah, I make 50 bucks an hour working blue collar. Get into the trades. You just have soft hands, brother.
>keep voting for Republicans>"How come everything keeps getting worse???"
>>130204873and whatever generation comes after alpha will be certain that gen z were a bunch of selfish backwards ghouls who ruined everything. same as it ever was
>>130204873Mike Rutherford wrote this song, which makes sense since he's an out of touch posh cunt.
Yeah the lyrics are cringe but the melodies are pretty good.
>>130208045It's a banger doehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcaVggVqo0E
>>130204873In a weird way that makes it kind of timeless, since every generation is convinced it's going to change the world for the better unlike the one before it.
>>130204873With this and "My Generation" in mind, unironically what is with the generation that ran the western world to the ground making anthems about how great they are>>These problems were brewing before the booomersYeah I'm well aware but they're the ones that especially started making decisions that would seal its doom
>>130211530Boomers were just living life, getting manipulated by the same forces that manipulate you. They protested, they founded communes, but it didn't matter in the end.
>>130211553I'm aware that these things persist still, though I wonder how much rebellion really is rebellion, or at least counterculture that is. Even the hippy generation (including the music industry) is something that had to be sold, meaning that in some way it had to be approved of/allowed in a top down way. This goes for every counterculture since then.
>>130210969WE'RE FINISHED
>>130211597Companies just want to make money. If the trend is hippie, if the trend is punk, if the trend is grunge, they will capitalize on it however they can.
>>130204873Millennials were the same during the 2010s, they thought they were going to be the generation that conquered space travel, ended world hunger, and solved all of the world's problems. Boomers and millennials are one in the same, both annoying, sanctimonious, narcissistic, retards. .
>>130211126Silent Gen: Meh, what's the point, the world's fucked, let it all burn. Boomers: We're gonna change the world! We're the best generation ever, we can do anything! Gen X: Meh, what's the point, the world's fucked, let it all burn..Millennials: We're gonna change the world! We're the best generation ever, we can do anything!Zoomers: Meh, what's the point, the world's fucked, let it all burn. [read more]
>>130215096I don't think Gen A going to be any different from zoomers. It's all too clear that everything is significantly fucked and there's nothing anybody can do about it.
>>130204873Have you heard of being an individual with individual ideas? Haven't you realised that a lot of Boomers are sincere leftists that opposed Raegan and Thatcher?
>>130215976Give them time
>>130215976They're the first generation to grow up with AI, I think that will lead to some level of optimism where they feel like they can do anything now that they have an intelligent robot in their pocket.
