People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we g-get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-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 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-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

Think I'll buy a trout farm and keep singing even though I can't any more, sadly.

I'm not sure which recording has this version of the song, but the live one on the Smothers Brothers was on a mixtape I made from my folks' albums, and I always got a kick out of the intro.

You had to be there, in the youth club, in 1965 to realise just how powerful this was...and 56 years later it still beats you round the head. Just awesome in every way. 11 plus...

Check out Ball And Chain from their latest album (their first in 14 years).  It has everything a Who song needs.  Bombastic vocal power, a strong message, and amazing power licks from Pete.
 

I really enjoyed some of the tunes off their last studio album "Endless Wire", too!

I remember their concert fondly at the Carrier dome.  As far as I am concerned Entwhistle was one of the best if not the best bass players, period although John Camp is a contender.  And Daltry was probably one of the best front men out there, giving Plant a run for his money.

Yah, I saw the first "post-Keith" show and I thought Jones was excellent. Of course no one could ever replicate the ferocity and manic energy of Keith Moon but KJ did as well as anyone could have expected. It was one of the greatest rock shows I've ever seen.

That said, though, there isn't any question that Zak is the best fit on drums that the Who has had since Moonie died —- in fact I just watched his performance with the Who at the 9/11 show in NYC and was once again blown away by his playing on Won't Get Fooled Again, which is in many ways better than I ever saw Uncle Keith do it.

My Generation -The Who 09/22/08  By flipkeat
https://www.flickr.com/photos/flipkeat/

I took this photo last night at The Who concert at Copps Coliseum, Hamilton, Ontario CANADA.. Here's a shot of the legendary Roger Daltrey (64) and Pete Townshend (63) ! I don't think I could have been any closer... It was an amazing two hours. (The Who are an English rock band formed in 1964.)!!!

Backed by a four-piece supporting cast including drummer Zak Starkey, ("Zak Starkey - Ringo Starr's son... is the fourth drummer for the rock band The Who, playing with them live and occasionally in the studio. Both Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey stated that he is the best drummer The Who has had since the death of Moon in 1978.") guitarist (and Pete's brother) Simon Townshend and bassist Pino Palladino, Daltrey and Townshend.

I always understood it that Roger was singing like a mod on speed - which was 'the' drug of the time, easily accessible, cheap and gave you the 'jitters' and a stutter sometimes. 

I could be wrong. . . I bet there are other answers, but I like this one.

Paul, no contradiction from me on your opinion. But one thing you do not mention in your essay is that this song was penned in 1964 when Pete was 19. Isn't puerile a reasonable response at that age? In that time? This isn't exactly Buddy Holly music here. There's a rawness and roiling that really didn't exist in previous decades. Throw in the sociocultural happenings of the times (e.g. mods vs. rockers) and the song carries all the genuineness possibly required. Now, had the band written and performed this 20 years later, different story. Still an outstanding tune in my book.

tinnitus sucks I have it a bit, due to a very loud race car with a hole in the floorboard right by the open header(2.3 liter ford turning in excess of 8500 rpm) and two ear infections near the same time. It is NEVER totally quiet in my head. and there is a certain range I hear very poorly. I also have poor ability to converse in areas with a lot of background noise. a simple set of earplugs will do wonders, and they actually help you hear better when things are loud, as you ear isn't buzzing like a $10 bass speaker on 11. I also cannot talk on a phone with it on my right ear. All I hear is garbled messes. I Hear fine, I just cannot make out what the words are. Makes me wonder how much stuff in music I am missing. . . .

You are not alone Fred. I am not sure I hate the song, but it is a novelty song, the sort that would feature on a TV nostalgia show reminiscing about the 1960s. Mary Quant mini skirts, Twiggy, Minis with Union Jack roofs, that sort of thing. The puerile lyrics of this nursery rhyme: "People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation) " were given short shrift by the The Monkees a year later, who attacked the vacuous superficiality of The Who's empty platitudes with a heartfelt response (penned by Boyce/Hart) with clear echoes of the English pomp rocker's playground stomp, designed to puncture the ersatz-EMO of Townsend's "no-one-understands-me-self-pity": "Hey, hey, we're the Monkees, And people say we monkey around, But we're too busy singing To put anybody down. We're just trying to be friendly, Come and watch us sing and play, We're the young generation And we've got something to say. Whereas Townsend wanted to wallow in adolescent angst, his incoherency such that he could not even articulate what it was that evoked his sense of alienation and isolation ( though we know now, don't we?), The Monkees wanted to communicate their sense of joie de vivre. Contrast the positive connection of the Monkees with the negative insolence of Townsend's words with their faux sincerity, bombast and pretentiousness: "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) " Pete; I have tried to dig what you did (not) say and I found that what you did (not) say had no substance, no merit and no attraction whatsover. Note for Americans; this is irony

He's right. Whatever else you want to say or think about this song, it's intricately tied to its time. Not just the lyrics, but the whole sound. IMO, there's nothing wrong with something being dated. I love some songs that are dated. However, there's also something to be said for music which transcends time, eras, or trends. I love it when I hear an unfamiliar song and have to wonder when it's from and it could be anytime.

This song was written for and about the Mods (click here) Their typical life values were as expressed in the song. The singing style is reflective of the amphetamine stutter which was pretty common among the members of this wide-spread British sub-culture movement of the 60's. If you read the link, you will see that The Who also made the album and film Quadrophenia about the Mods.

A little perspective might help here. It was written 41 years ago, so I don't think that it is necessarily hypocritical. If they had written it 10 years ago, then, yeah, I'd agree with you. But from 4 decades ago ... nah.

Whenever I hear this, I remember back around 1980 or so seeing two cops walking mildly with a hand on each arm of a gentleman who was bouncing up and down and singing this song at the top of his lungs. They were escorting him to their car. Never knew what the back story was but the guy seemed pretty happy to being taken away.
