Possibly the worst song the band has ever recorded.
I think I would more readily accept Waiting for Stevie by Wotman Jam, which is saying something.

What do you expect? It is mostly comprised of middle aged, white Gen Xers.

Not all feelings, just feelings that are coded.... you know what, never mind.
You're right. They really do.

Probably more Xennials than anything else (born between 1977-1983).

Lightning Bolt
My Father's Son
Lightning Bolt
Pendulum
Sleeping By Myself
Yellow Moon
Wow, this is grim.
My Father's Son is by far the best option remaining.
A huge problem all along has been not pre-resigning ourselves to put Pendulum on this thing. It's not a great song, but for this exercise it lets you drop something of a "reset" track in the middle. Its atmospheric in a way that makes it pretty easy to justify its presence.

What's the point in sub-dividing the arbitrary and made-up generational labels?
We deserve Donald Trump.

As a Xennial myself, I’ve spent a good amount of time thinking on this and I believe the subdivision has merit. I was six when my school had three personal computers it shared on little push carts; my teenage years relied on pavers rather than cell phones, while cell phones became a common accessory in my early 20s.
I went from Atari 2600 to playing PS4 online with my friends; I saw the crack epidemic in the news and had DARE shoved down my throat in school.
There are more examples of these sorts of “edge network” cultural experiences that people just a few years older than me either missed as a formative piece of their adolescence; and a few years younger than me missed entirely.
Also Pendulum is a bad song. Most xennials know that.
Right. But since these divides are completely made-up by... who exactly? ... maybe just move the year/age range by a year and two and put them in whichever cheekily-named category best fits?
Or just abandon the exercise all together because what does it really serve?
