Oh, it has changed. It's worse than before, and it was already shitty. And it will continue to go downhill. The bad good old times were nicer, that's comforting...or a good reason to kill ourselves.
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!
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.

Some suit in the 90s was like "yeah, your smart, wry take on the world and totally pioneering alt-country sound is okay and all. But can you guys make a Nirvana video?"
Funny you mention Nirvana........................the director of this video (Samuel Bayer) also directed Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit video. Makes sense that they're similar!
I've always said something similar...some suit said "Camper Van Beethoven??? Can you change it it to one word, like say... Cracker? ...oh and less of the Take The Skinheads Bowling sound and more of Pictures of Matchstick Men sound..."
Camera that goes in and out of focus, jump cuts with film emulsion anomalies, old people in weird costumes, band members in an old TV set. That's the recipe for most 90's music videos.
I was reading about how GenX'ers invented nostalgia media and this song popped right into my mind. Back in 1996, I knew we were messing up. No reasons. No apologies.
The legendary Earl Palmer miming drums at 2:07. During the video shoot, they asked him if he'd be able to play along with the track. He answered: "I invented this shit".
This is my first song on Cheryl Petersons Rock. This music is played when i'm pissed at all generations. I play it as loud as I can, put my head right by the speakers and start to sway, then I start to dance. when I'm done with the set if the anger is still there, I start over again!!!!!
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.
@@chiron3719 Xers did the one thing they knew they weren't supposed to do: They put on suits and ties, became corporate, and _sold out._ They all became a bunch of capitalist tools, the very thing they were rebelling against. 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.
Este riff de guitarra es tan piola; cosas tan sencillas construyen algo tan, pero tan bueno, que su milagrosa tonada acaricia los oídos. Qué maravilla.

zapthycat Well, there are different kinds of courage. It seems pretty brave to me to come out as a transexual in this society. Think of all the scorn and judgement you'd have to deal with from people.
user1138 Yeah, all the "scorn and judgement", with people tripping over one another to put you on a magazine cover or give you an award. Yeah, that takes courage. Come on now.
Today the U.S. went crazy with this virus. I'm 61 a stone hippie poet. My Generation caused this media hype. I can't buy water on account of this. It's our doing. I HATE MY GENERATION....TJ STRUSKA
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.

You do know that your makeing a bigger deal out of those things then they are worth.They suck but they dont suck enough that I have to bring them up everytime I listen to a song.

This has never been more fitting than now.
So true.
Anyone can say this about their generation, nothing has changed through the years
Oh, it has changed. It's worse than before, and it was already shitty. And it will continue to go downhill.
The bad good old times were nicer, that's comforting...or a good reason to kill ourselves.
You said it all
now it's fucktime in fairyland
I can deeply relate to this song nowadays.
Same. 💔
Yea I dedicate this song to all the new wanna be goth girls and e boys that are overly stupidly “political” for all the wrong reasons.
Every generation says that. At least, I've always assumed that was the point of the song.
People nowadays just use TikTok
He looks and sings just like Jim Thirlwell, the most brilliant musician ever to live
2019 and this song it's still rocking, love this band. 🤘🏻
One of the best song even written.

I just love Nothing to believe in. Great band.

This band should have been much bigger. Some great songs.
If you see them live, you'll be surprised at how many songs you know, but never knew who it was.

Lots to loathe in X as well my friend. Generational consciousness is mostly a myth. We need ideological cohesion on better bases than d.o.b.
is this great or is this great
Fantastic.
It rocked then and still does 💪💪😎
"hate" was much more refined back then. Not today. A gem!
Imagine what they'd think of our generation.
They’d be ashamed
I'll tell you, since I'm from theirs. You suck worse than we did, and we full on sucked.

Can't go wrong with Samuel Bayer!
This music video has aged very well.
