In a factory, down tooooown!
- If I had my little way

Old millennial checking in. No fucking clue what this is about

It's ok, we can't all be cool :)
I remember just driving around in the backseat of mom's minivan, and it could've been 92.3 KROCJ, or 100.3 Z100, or 97.5 PST, Peaches by Presidents of the United States of America was just a popular alt rock tune, sandwiched in between Third Eye Blind and the Gin Blossoms.
The song Peaches by The Presidents of The USA
Apparently they all know the lyrics of Peaches way better than just Millions of peaches, peaches for me. Millions of peaches, peaches for free. Followed by ninja noises lol.
It means shitposting is older than we thought.
- Memes were passed around on floppy disks.
How about Gump?
- Hes in my head. But. He might be dead.

I'm gonna move me to the country, gonna eat me a lot of peaches.

"They were put there by a man, in a factory downtown..."

I thought we were Gen x or y?

Anyway, this entire album is fucking banger.

This is according to the US Census
Gen X: (born 1965-1980)
Gen Y is the same as Millennial: (born 1981-1996)
- And the album was released in 1995, so lots of gen x would be in their late teens early twenties when it was released, prime audience for it.
- Woah. I always thought I was Gen X but TIL I'm probably a millennial.
Theres 5 strings between the guitar and bass and it's still a masterpiece. So much sound for such a minimalist approach to their instruments. Kitty is a supreme banger.
- Just as I'm thinking about repairing it some little friends come along with some 2 string, 1 string, no string guitars and they plug em all in to the back porch

Severely underrated album. Holds up better than almost any from that year
Little blue dune buggy.
That's all I have to say.
- Back Porch is a favorite of mine
- I've been selected to orbit the planet in a rocket.
  (In a rocket)
they're fucking ace in concert too. I had zero expectations for the evening and they tore the face off of it, like, goddamned fun show.

Younger millennial checking in, despite the relevance of my username I have no idea what this means.

Here you go
- I'd never seen the video. Did not expect to see Ninjas

- I didn't recognize it from the image (description of "shriek singing" also had me imagining something totally different) but immediately recognized the song 2 seconds after it started playing. Guess that makes me dead middle millennial
- TIL The PotUSA’s looks like bald Dennis from IASIP.
- Oh I know that song. I was imaging it was referencing a commercial or something.
Yeah, I got nothing either. Maybe this is a US-centric thing?
- Nope, I'm English and this song was fairly big here at the time too
- Canadian and I know it.
- they were huge in Aus when that album dropped. was my first album I owned
Allow me to explain

Took a little nap where the roots all twist

Squished a rotten peach in my fist

And dreamed about you, wooooomaaaaan

That scream always threw me off.

Totally. The Oregon Trail generation.
- I’m still unreasonably afraid of contracting diysentery.
Xennials here, can confirm, this will be stuck in my head for a week now.
- 1978?

Kitty on my foot and I wanna touch it

You're welcome. Now get off my lawn!
- Millennial correction:
  “Get off my landlord’s lawn”

“Lump lingered, last in line for brains”

And the ones she got were sorta rotten and insane
Did you know that song was inspired by his brain tumor? Not a joke.
Gump sat alone on a bench in the park
- And that is all I have to say ABOUT THAT

Look out!

Then the ninjas jump out of the tree.

Yep. 1995 here and ive got no idea.

Well you see peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man in a factory downtown.
- If I had my little way I would eat peaches every day
Here now you can pretend to be born in the mid to late 80s instead:

96, I only know cuz I have an older brother

I'm a young millennial and I love this song but none of my peers knew wtf I was talking about

It is your duty to inform them.
Sounds like you have a rock and roll problem, and we've got a solution.

Wtf does this mean?

Millions of peaches! Peaches for me. Millions of peaches! Peaches for free.
LOOKOUT!
THEY WERE PUT THERE BY A MAN!
- I see...
<-- Younger millenial.
- I'm not even a millenial lol.

For the folks who don't know The singer from POTUSA sings kids music as Casper Babypants and his songs are bangers that my 11 month old daughter and I both enjoy equally.

holy shit checking this out now

Little blind spider took the wheel

Navigating grass blades completely by feel
- Gotta sassy chassis sparkling in the sun

Any of this posts' targets with little kids looking for fun music check out Caspar Babypants

Makes me want to move to the country.

Gonna eat a lot a peaches?

58 Gen X Brit here. Even I know the correct response. It was a popular tune.

50 Gen here I saw them live.

That song sounds lame af

You too will get millions of peaches one day
Someone doesn't like 90's Alt Rock.
Found my new nemesis
They fought ninjas. How many ninjas have you defeated?
I respect your opinion, but I must now buy the album to compensate for your failure. Good day.

Late Gen X here (born '77). I love the video for this song.

I think zoomers have access to Spotify.

Zoomers won't listen to POTUS by their own accord. DJ X isn't going to serve it to them either.
- LIES BECAUSE HOW ELSE AM I SUPPISED TO GET MILLIONS OF PEACHES?!?! SPECIFICALLY PEACHES FOR ME!?

I guess I am the Elder One.

I just scream out......CASPER BABYPANTS!

His kids stuff is just so good

I'm early Gen Z and I know this song lmao. It played here and there on the local alternative rock radio stations.

Seattle area? They are from North West and their songs play fairly often here
- Salt Lake City area, actually. Pretty far from Seattle. Peaches is the only song I know off the top of my head though.

Oh, its an American thing. Guess Lemme's not immune to the "Nowhere else exists except the United States" rule of the internet

Nah, not a US only thing at all. See the charts here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peaches_(The_Presidents_of_the_United_States_of_America_song)#Charts
- I'm pretty sure I fall under older Millenial (89) and I definitely didnt hear this song enough for the lyrics to immediately bring up that response, but I can accept I'm an anomaly I guess
  Edit: Lmao, the other comment I was at least aggressive, but like, this is the most passive agreement I might be the odd one out here, how is this one getting downvoted to oblivion?
i wouldnt go on a chinese website and complain about it being chinese centric
- English doesnt equal American dumbass

This was never a good song. But I will add that pears in can are better than fresh pears that ain't Asian pears. Those crispy things are delicious

Hwat?

This
- Looks like a US-thing. Never heard this song and I'm elder-millennial.
- I don't know what to say. 🍑

Best mosh pit I was ever in, surprisingly enough. That song can hit a properly primed and amped up crowd nicely.

I can totally see that

That was the first CD I bought when I got a CD player for christmas.

Gonna eat me a buncha peaches.

As an elder millennial, that song has always been garbage

As an elder millennial, how does it feel to be so wrong?
- I'll let you know when I get a chance to experience it 👍
I played it for my Gen Alpha kids and it's still a smash hit
- Your Gen Alpha kids might just be lame.

Grew up in 90s. I learned only recently what alternative music actually encompasses, realized I absolute hate it by and large. There was so much shitty music in the 90s and it was the bulk of alternative that sucked so much.

*Edit: to the haters down voting me: all I can say is that my life is pretty plain.

It's gonna blow oh whoa oh whoa whoa 🌋
