    Lyrics:
    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
    Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
    And don't try to dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
    I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
    I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
    This is my generation
    This is my generation, baby
    Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
    And don't try to d-dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
    I'm not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
    I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
    This is my generation
    This is my generation, baby
    People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
    Just because we g-g-get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
    Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
    Yeah, I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
    This is my generation
    This is my generation, baby

      ​@@juliemanarin4127I disagree, Bonham is the best drummer, but it's not like Moonie was a million miles away, his playing style was different in a way but still manic and brilliant. I think what separates them is Bonzo's drumming was filled with plenty of new techniques for the time that were simply outstanding and revolutionised the definition of rock along with the rest of zeppelin whereas moons insane energy really worked in his favour and made a lot of songs recorded by the who. So in short terms, you're right. Long term, it's a lot deeper

Practically unheard of in popular music of the time and even now. Back in those days, bands used to be pretty boys smiling and wearing matching suits. Then along came the Who, the first proper band. Not a backing band for a lead singer or 2 songwriters. 4 real musicians.

      "is blame us for their lameness"
      No one I talk to blames your generation for their lameness as they don't, generally, notice their lameness.
      Furthermore, every generation is responsible for the next generation, and partially responsible for the one after that.
      I'm sort of in the middle, I can see the positive and negative sides of both the older and younger generations.
      However, there's nothing significantly genetically different; if you took a baby born in 1910 and a baby born in 2001 and transposed them, the 2001 baby would grow up like anyone else born in 1910 and vice versa, wouldn't they?
      It does annoy me when I get the mothers of pupils (I'm a driving instructor) ringing up and saying things like they don't want their son or daughter starting to learn to drive in the dark (cars have these weird things at the front and the back, they're called *lights* and, nowadays, the bastard things come on automatically, you don't even have to turn a switch), and when I drop them off they just stand there at the door, rather than actually having a door key! But whose fault is that?
      I would complain that they don't think for themselves (for example, a couple of them told me that "Baa Baa Black Sheep" was racist, and, when I asked how it was racist, they couldn't explain, because it *isn't racist!* ), but most of my generation didn't think for themselves and I know for a fact that the majority of my parents' and grandparents generations didn't think for themselves, either. Most people just don't, that's the human condition, not a feature of this new generation.

      I don't. It was as it was. We had jobs and we worked hard. Some of us left school at 15, no sixth form then in a secondary modern school! We had the cold war and the Cuban Missile crisis to worry about, not to mention paedophile teachers etc. Nobody checked on them then! We had it good and we had it bad. And so do you!

      This song was written when Boomers were rebelling against authority. Now they are authority (or are aging out of power and nostalgic for when they ran things).
      The "hope I die before I get old" was Townshend recognizing in 1965 that his generation would eventually turn into everything they hated. How very right he was.
