At 2:07 look for Earl Palmer, the drummer for Little Richard and one of the most in-demand drummers of the 1950s and 1960s. He invented the backbeat in rock and roll. He was the very first. Classy touch, including him in this video. VERY classy. Respect. This song is so cool.

My favorite song by this band, from early 1996. They aren't a one hit wonder however, they had two other songs that were OK, "Teen Angst (What The World Needs Now)" and "Low". To my surprise they kept on releasing albums into the 2000's!

They all sound like Reagan, Thatcher or Ayn Rand these days. Smashing Pumpkins knew it was happening. Go listen to Bullet with Butterfly Wings. It's a song about becoming the very tool you swore to fight, and being proud about it. It's a song about accepting fate, and becoming just another obedient toad. Gen X helped to create the vicious cycle that both generations after have been subject to. I don't know if they care enough to be ashamed. They've slipped further down the nihilistic rabbit hole than any of us have.

This song has aged so well. I'm a Gen Z and I hate my generation. I wish I was a Gen X or early Gen Y. Being born in the late 70's or early 80's is the best time you can be born. 1977 is the best year to be born though. I consider the years 1995 to 2006 as the golden era. Why? Primarily because you can see the transition between the old and new millennium. And you live your childhood without electronics and you can play any video games you want when you turn 18 in 1995 when the PS1 came out and you live your whole 20's in that era and you turn 30 when the era stops. There is a lot left to explain why this era was the best and no era will ever top that one. But I don't want this comment to be too long.

To have properly enjoyed that early '90s era you should have been born late '60s/early '70s. I wish I would have, for the music, films and culture. I was born early '80s but when all of this stuff was going down in the '90s I was grown enough to realize what was happening but too young to participate. Hell I wish I was able to see all of these great bands live in their prime.

I think the gen x is the last generation that has respect and feels grateful(to our parents but also just for the blessings we have been given throughout life by God or the universe or whatever you believe) just a general humility, and awareness of our gift. That is a huge difference in the landscape of your life. It makes or breaks you as a human being. Not that every gen xer feels it, but that this is where it stops, and the self-absorbed, void of respect, find someone else to blame for everything era begins...

He survived the beach landing and WWII, eventually coming home and using his GI Bill to study music theory at become an amazing part of rock history. Many have called his "The Greatest Generation" so our family found the collaboration with Cracker on this song, in a word, *perfect.*

"hate" was much more refined back then. Not today. A gem!

Lowery/Hickman ("I Hate My Generation") were Boomers widely associated with Gen X, while Daltry/Townshend (singer and songwriter of "My Generation," respectively) were Silent Generation members widely associated with the Baby Boomers. So in both cases, it's nebulous just what "my generation" is, which is, in a sense, a strength in both songs. However, Lowery regrets this being the first single from the album, which didn't meet sales expectations. He thought the album might have had a better shot had "Sweet Thistle Pie" been the single, which is evident by the two greatest hits compilations the band had input in. Both kick off the Golden Age era with "Sweet Thistle Pie," totally omitting "I Hate My Generation." The follow-up single "Nothing to Believe In" isn't on ANY hits collection. Honestly, though, the whole album is great, so it's a shame it never took off.
