Talkin’ About My Generation

Talkin’ about My Generation are words from the hit song “My Generation” by the English rock band The Who, first released in 1965 and which became one of their most recognisable songs.

Remember the words:

“People try to put us d-down (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby” and so on.
