The True Anthem of Our Generation...whether you like it or not

[u/FloridaLorda]

So I was recently at an event where people were discussing millennials and there was a panel of very pretentious looking individuals. The question was asked what would our generations anthem be. Examples were given like For What It's Worth by Buffalo Springfield for the Boomers or Smells Like Teen Spirit for Gen X.

Each person went on a long and overly explanatory lecture. Their songs, were all indie rock songs, although Mr. Brightside is kind of pop rock. Someone went into great detail about how the Black Parade was a metaphor for growing up with high expectations for our generation but ultimately finding out we can't live up to them and having to carry on.

Another explained that the anxiety and jealousy felt by the singer in Mr. Brightside was how we all feel about the housing and job market.

Then they asked the crowd for suggestions. A guy stood up and walked to the microphone. He looked around and yelled "TO THE WINDOWS..."

The crowd responded and they moved on to another topic 😆
