We Skeem - Generation Why

This song goes out to all the 80s babies out there lumped in with Millennials for some reason
Millennials are defined as anyone born between 1981 and 1996
I don't know about you but if you were born after K-Mart had already starting stocking its shelves full of free trials of the Internet we don't have a lot in common

They used to say I was Generation Y
But the labels all have changed and they fail explaining why
Call me Millennial I guess which is to say
I share common social views and habits with people who don't remember Pogs
Not play of the game
I mean cardboard things
It's not the same
Damn Zoomers
If you didn't have an 8-ball Slammer let's say
We aren't from the same generation okay

Whatever happened to generation Y
Whatever happened to you and I
All the kids raised under brighter days
With stupid Boomer parents who were scared of Y2K
Born in the 80s and boy it's true
I have little in common with all those who
Don't remember life before the net
So how could they forget
Generation Y

Generation Y
Why

Sociological Boomers tried to label us
Using computers they didn't understand or trust
It's not that we're entitled you all just messed up
Screw all the Millennials Gen Y stand up

They call us lazy and apathetic
Hypersensitive and so pathetic
I guess for most that's all probably true
Where am I going with this
I don't really care dude
I guess it doesn't matter
Nothing matters anyway
It's like I'm Generation X
Invisible and fade away
Generation Y was awesome
But Millennials are lame
And it still makes my anger blossom
When I'm told we're all the same

Whatever happened to generation Y
Whatever happened to you and I
All the kids raised under brighter days
With stupid Boomer parents who were scared of Y2K
Born in the 80s and boy it's true
I have little in common with all those who
Don't remember life before the net
So how could they forget
Generation Y

Generation Y
Why

Sociological Boomers tried to label us
Using computers they didn't understand or trust
It's not that we're entitled, you just messed up
Screw all the Millennials Gen Y stand up
