They were put there by a man!
In a factory, down tooooown!
If I had my little way
I’d eat peaches every day
Sun-soakin’ bulges in the shade
Dododo dododododo dododo dododododo
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.
How about Gump?
Hes in my head. But. He might be dead.
He’s Gump, he’s Gump, he’s Gump.
It means shitposting is older than we thought.
Memes were passed around on floppy disks.

SUN-SOAKIN’ BULGES IN THE SHAAAAAAAADE
@FARTYSHARTBLAST WOOMANNN!
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.
If you’re near the cusp, pick whichever makes you feel better. Generations are a sociological construct and are appropriately applied in the aggregate, not to individuals and they’re always fuzzy around the edges. Much like Hari Seldon can’t predict specific individual events, sociological generations don’t always apply exactly the same to individual people.
If you’re born anywhere between around 1978 and 1984, you will likely find at least one sociologist who draws the line on either side of you.
I tend to go with Strauss-Howe, who consider GenX to be 1961-1981 and Millennials to be 1982-2005 – mostly because I like their idea of turnings and cyclical archetypes.
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.
I’d never seen the video. Did not expect to see Ninjas
Those are the freshmen.

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
Oh I know that song. I was imaging it was referencing a commercial or something.
TIL The PotUSA’s looks like bald Dennis from IASIP.
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.
I will never ever ford a river.
Don’t worry, you can get a big wagon, buy tons of ammo and then fill that wagon with just hunted meat (you may never see Oregon, or probably the equivalent of Ohio either).
Even in 2nd grade, I knew this was a squirrel hunting simulator.
Dodge is a better alternative.
We found an Oregon Trail card game, and introduced it to our teenage kids. They loved it. The fear lives on.
I have an Oregon Trail ‘you have died from dysentery’ shirt. I love it.
Xennials here, can confirm, this will be stuck in my head for a week now.
1978?
79 checking in
1980
There are dozens of us! DOZENS!
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”
Weeps in poor Millennial
If they mow and maintain it, its their lawn. If I mow it and maintain it, its my lawn.
The yard will be returned to you in as good if not better than the condition it was in when I signed the lease. Beyond that, if you want a say you come do the mowing.
Look out!
Then the ninjas jump out of the tree.
“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
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
Nature’s candy in my hand,
Or a can
or a pie.
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.
