“They were put there by a man, in a factory downtown…”

I'm gonna move me to the country, gonna eat me a lot of peaches.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I thought we were Gen x or y?
intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The generational boundaries are somewhat arbitrary. They were put there by a man who just happened to be the guy who got that particular assignment. In a factory downtown that produces nothing but information for immediate consumption, I’m sure the generational gaps can seem more severe.
If I had my little way, I’d want people to understand it was much more of a spectrum (it still is); we lived in roughly the same world as the kids five grades above us had lived in at our age. I’d eat peaches every day in the lunchroom and didn’t have to defend them because I was sitting with kids two grades above me. And when I met alums from the school who had graduated they seemed like full-on adults, but they were the same culture as me. Didn’t seem like a different generation.
I lived in the country in the 90s, going to a little school. I ran track, and I remember sitting around with the girls waiting for various events, just sun soaking, or sitting on root bulges in the shade, lazing around. No cell phones, forced to socialize though I was terrified of it.
Growing up was roughly the same for us as the kids 5 years ahead of us. Except we were The Class of 2000, and had been raised to subtly believe we were the pioneers of a new civilization based on avoiding endlessly-growing-landfill apocalypse and acid rain.

This may be the most amazing comment in the history of the internet
ChexMax@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think this is especially true the older you get, but my experience was vastly different to my husband’s who was born 4 years before me, and somewhat significantly different from my brother’s 3 years behind. Part of the gap between my husband and I has to do with the large age difference in our parents, but the biggest difference is how quickly technology was changing in our formative years in the early 2000s. I am the youngest of the millennials, my brother is firmly gen Z (though only born the first or second year of them) and my husband is firmly a millennial

This comment is a goddamn work o fart
ickplant@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This is according to the US Census
Gen X: (born 1965-1980)
Gen Y is the same as Millennial: (born 1981-1996)
yata@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
And the album was released in 1995, so lots of gen x would be in their late teens early twenties when it was released, prime audience for it.
fine_sandy_bottom@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Woah. I always thought I was Gen X but TIL I’m probably a millennial.
JPSound@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Theres 5 strings between the guitar and bass and it’s still a masterpiece. So much sound for such a minimalist approach to their instruments. Kitty is a supreme banger.
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Just as I’m thinking about repairing it some little friends come along with some 2 string, 1 string, no string guitars and they plug em all in to the back porch
HydraulicMonkey@lemmy.world 1 year ago

That’s all I have to say.

key@lemmy.keychat.org 1 year ago
I didn’t recognize it from the image (description of “shriek singing” also had me imagining something totally different) but immediately recognized the song 2 seconds after it started playing. Guess that makes me dead middle millennial
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 year ago
TIL The PotUSA’s looks like bald Dennis from IASIP.
can@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Oh I know that song. I was imaging it was referencing a commercial or something.
Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 1 year ago
Yeah, I got nothing either. Maybe this is a US-centric thing?
someguy3@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Canadian and I know it.
Aggravationstation@lemmy.world 1 year ago

Well you see peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man in a factory downtown.

I’m a young millennial and I love this song but none of my peers knew wtf I was talking about
FARTYSHARTBLAST@kbin.social 1 year ago
It is your duty to inform them.

Sounds like you’ve got a rock and roll problem, and we have a solution.

For the folks who don’t know The singer from POTUSA sings kids music as Casper Babypants and his songs are bangers that my 11 month old daughter and I both enjoy equally.
SuperJetShoes@lemmy.world 1 year ago
58 Gen X Brit here. Even I know the correct response. It was a popular tune.
lemmyman@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Any of this posts’ targets with little kids looking for fun music check out Caspar Babypants

I just scream out…CASPER BABYPANTS!
xfts@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m early Gen Z and I know this song lmao. It played here and there on the local alternative rock radio stations.
highrfrequenc@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This was never a good song. But I will add that pears in can are better than fresh pears that ain’t Asian pears. Those crispy things are delicious
thorbot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Old millennial checking in. No fucking clue what this is about
ickplant@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s ok, we can’t all be cool :)
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I remember just driving around in the backseat of mom’s minivan, and it could’ve been 92.3 KROCJ, or 100.3 Z100, or 97.5 PST, Peaches by Presidents of the United States of America was just a popular alt rock tune, sandwiched in between Third Eye Blind and the Gin Blossoms.
257m@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
The song Peaches by The Presidents of The USA

Thanks for giving me an answer to my question of which millennial would know the correct answer, cause I had y’all pegged at knowing who “The Presidents of the United States of America” were.
So how old is an old millennial, anyhow? I kinda thought that’s where I was, but this song was/is my jam.
ickplant@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The oldest Millennials are in their early 40s.
