Same. It's kind of an eff you money type song.

Just a freaking eff you song.

Beautiful song written by a son who lost his father but had a complicated relationship with him.
“Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years”
Heartbreak

Had you considered that there was more diversity in GenX music?

That's a great song
Time Of Your Life by Green Day, if we're slipping some gen x tunes in here
Bad Reputation by Freedy Johnston, too - I remember hearing that song for the first time in the movie Kicking and Screaming, and I've loved it ever since - almost 30 years now!
Another Freedy Johnston fan! Amazing!

Kid Fears by Indigo Girls with Michael Stipe. It is beautiful but painful.

Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” and “The Circle Game” spring immediately to mind.

Stockton Gala Days by 10000 maniacs (friendship not romantic love I thought)
10,000 Maniacs were brilliant. Love that song, and so many others!

Great cover by Wilco too. But definitely about love and heartbreak!
