Today's Kids (Are Not Rockers)

Story Behind The Song

I was living in Flagstaff, AZ (college town) when I wrote this song and was feeling really annoyed by the music that the college kids were listening to.

Song Description

Sarcastic song about younger generation not appreciating rock 'n roll. Edgy and humorous. Parody. Song is making fun of younger kids for being too soft and into weird music. Would work well in coming of age, comedies, and not anything that takes itself too seriously.

Song Length 2:09 Genre Rock - Punk, Rock - Grunge
Tempo Medium (111 - 130) Mood Irritated, Annoyed
Subject Teens, Conformity Similar Artists Nirvana, Flight Of The Conchords
Language English Era 2000 and later

Lyrics

Today's kids are not rockers
They don't play drums they shake maracas
They play their songs on ukuleles
When they have sex they wear condoms

Why don't you listen to Nrivana
Instead of that little bitch Bon Iver
You've got tattoos and piercings
But all your music's like James Taylor

I wanna see some blood
Let's see some blood
In your rock 'n roll

Today's kids are wicked lame
They don't play guitar they're all DJs
Yeah they spin their dubstep records
When they have sex they wear condoms

I wanna see some blood
Let's see some blood
In your rock 'n roll
