MC Lars - iGeneration Lyrics






And people tried to put us down
When iTunes bumped a post-Cold War sound
My generation sat at the Mecca of malls,
Times Square, I'm there, Viacom installs
So we hit the net while the Trade Center fell
New York met Hollywood, we ran like hell
No Vietnam for us, yo, Iraq it's on
So who agreed upon this cowboy Genghis Khan?
The choice made, baby. Hey we'd take it back
logged in dropped out, MTV took track
They sold it back to us and claimed no correlation
The iMac, iPod, iGeneration
And I'm waiting for the day we can get out
The world is ours, that's the story no doubt
Want to be more than info super highway traffic
want to be more than a walking demographic!

[CHORUS]
"Hey! You're part of it" Talking about the iGeneration
"Yeah! You're part of it" Talking about my iGeneration

See the iGeneration knew organization
meant optimization and unification
When imagination gave participation
In creation of culture a manifestation
The Berlin Wall fell and out we came
The post-Cold War kids laid claim to AIM.
LOL, OMG, yo, BRB. Space, colon, dash, closed parenthesis
We sat at our laptops and typed away,
and found that we each had something to say
Web-logged our fears, our hopes and dreams
Individuated by digital means
Fiber optic lenses, DVD, Coca Cola, Disney and Mickey D's.
Flat mass culture, the norm that took hold
I hope I die before I get sold

[REPEAT CHORUS]
This is the I-N-T-E. R-N-E-T ge-na-ra-tion, see?
This is the I-N-T-E. R-N-E-T ge-na-ra-tion, see?

  1. S.... P....

    2020 and still loving this!

  2. M.... G....

    Ah so this song wasn't some figment of my imagination.

  3. J.... Q....

    I was 20 when this was posted. -_-

  4. d.... ....

    a reminder that you actually listened to this and thought "haha yeah this rules" at some point in the last 15 years.

  5. A.... J....

    this really did age like milk

  6. S.... ....

    is this death grips

  7. S.... ....

    holy jeebus, i dont rmemeber the quality being sub-potato...i know i havent watched this in a while but damn

    S.... ....

    Yea it looks like a potato recorded it but we still love him

  8. P.... ....

    Oh nostalgia

  9. P.... C....

    can we get a remaster?

  10. M.... ....

    This was made before the iphone was. Igeneration=better mp3 players in this video lmao

    M.... ....

    Yea - this was a month before it was even announced. Crazy.

  11. J.... ....

    oh yes, when walking around with a camera gotten you funny looks...

  12. L.... M....

    It’s 2019

  13. w.... ....

    if only they knew later in 2007 steve jobs would unveil the first Iphone and the world changed technologically forever

  14. M.... s....

    Been so long my god.

  15. M.... E....

    2018 and still confused if the late 90’s kids are considered millennials or the igeneration

  16. C.... D....

    Interesting that Wikipedia's article about generations says Generation Z is also known as the "iGeneration"

    C.... D....

    igeneration is the real term, anyway. (hence the IPHONE)

    C.... D....

    the only Z thing were Z WARRIORS and that was us

  17. L.... R....

    Its 2018 now, almost 2019 and this is still how the world is.

  18. E.... ....

    I remember hearing this several times in 2004 on the radio and I never knew who sang it until over a decade later. Glad I had closure.

  19. A.... ....

    Running in the 2000's

  20. P.... ....

    Like si lo ves en el 2017... espera ... Sólo a mi me gusta ;v

  21. S.... ....

    I just remembered this existed and so glad it never it got more than 400k views in 10 years

  22. F.... ....

    I wonder how Lars feels about the zeitgeist naming the people who he named the iGeneration "Millennials", and calling the generation immediately preceding Millennials the "iGeneration"?

    F.... ....

    I was clairvoyant.

    F.... ....

    obviously mc lars knew his shit and zeitgeist was bullshit

  23. D.... L....

    I so prefer being called part of the iGeneration than being called a damned millineal

  24. E.... G....

    It's kinda fun to think about the fact that this song came out a year before the iPhone. Goddamn things have changed so fast. Still an epic song though.

    E.... G....

    Dude, I just listened to this for the first time in what feels like forever. I can't believe how much things have changed. It feels so strange to realize you grew up in those early days of "social media" and acknowledge how we've grown and evolved around it.

  25. R.... P....

    piebald! ya!

  26. J.... J....

    2016 still watching it XD

  27. T.... h....

    I still find myself quoting bits and pieces from this song because the lyrics bounced on the beat so well.

    T.... h....

    Thanks! :)

  28. C.... ....

    2006? God, I feel old!

  29. K.... P....

    Sounds like he says "the norm that took hold," not "soon overtook hold." Anyway! This is one of my very favorite songs. ♥

  30. M.... M....

    ok am kind of lost in here

  31. w.... k....

    Your gay

    w.... k....

    +barrydubstep Capitalize your sentences.

    w.... k....

    +CancerOfTheWeek my sentence started with @woozy k. So no need.

    w.... k....

    barrydubstep Lmao. Even though you just delete your comment.

    w.... k....

    Conversation is still there.

  32. t.... i....

    im no fan of rap, but this sint too bad, i came here because of piebald

    t.... i....

    This isn't rap just throwing it out there.

    t.... i....

    It's all the same to me

    t.... i....

    @Justiceisahero
    Totally rap. It isn't hip-hop but he is rapping. Cake, RHCP, and Blondie all rap too.
    @tgi ira there is no such thing as a bad genre, you just have to look beyond the radio. Popular music is always bad. Get to the roots of any genre and you'll find some gold.

  33. V.... ....

    This sounded AMAZING all those years back. Oh, how things change. I miss feeling like I was part of something bigger because of technology.

  34. V.... ....

    This sounded AMAZING all those years back. Oh, how things change. I miss feeling like I was part of something bigger because of technology.

  35. M.... ....

    This was acutely the very first song on my iPod.

    M.... ....

    MultiMediaInput dude same literally

    M.... ....

    I'm honored!

  36. S.... B....

    I haven't heard this song in so long

  37. J.... G....

    Hahahaha best ending 

  38. A.... M....

    **laying in a pool of my childhood**

  39. J.... d....

    240p... we meet again...

  40. M.... ....

    The ending is probably the funniest part.

  41. m.... ....

    There should really be some credit to Piebald in the description.

  42. A.... W....

    thumbs up if you lived through the zombies in 2012

  43. T.... M....

    Mc lars=Best music made

  44. H.... I....

    2013 you are welcomed

  45. A.... H....

    d.... ....

    darkbey56 me too

    d.... ....

    same a long time ago

    d.... ....

    Me too.

  47. W.... ....

    Idky but the ending ALWAYS makes me smile

  48. H.... ....

    Piebald!

  49. v.... ....

    Wow you are moronic i guess you dont know what ethernet is, how about instead of trying to offend me by insulting my intellect how about you turn that perception on yourself, i asked a question where as you took time out of your life to not add anything and only try to insult me which is not smart at all, You might wanna move out of your moms basement there

  50. G.... D....

    Internet starts with the later "I" you idiot.

    G.... D....

    AHAHHAAHHAHAHAAHh no kiddo

  51. v.... ....

    out of just pure curiosity, would it not be the egeneration because the i generation is specially talking about things from apple, ipod, iphone and such, were as the the song talks about internet generation, so to keep from confusion would it not be e for ethernet generation?

    v.... ....

    no THIS was the I-generation, the phone was just the last one to show up

    you know those smart watches all kids want? we had those in 1998.... its not new

    v.... ....

    go google apples history, youll learn something

    v.... ....

    i guess IBM was the real I-company

  52. S.... A....

    lars is so good at writin' hooks. damn.

  53. B.... ....

    Its both. "hope I die before I get sold" its about consumerism and people identifying themselves by brands.

  54. F.... d....

    LOL I DID

  55. e.... ....

    EFF YEAH

  56. L.... ....

    Thumbs up if you think the guy I'm replying to is an annoying moron who likes to stick his fingers in his butt and beg for more thumbs.

  57. m.... ....

    because clearly at the 2:00 mark the "iGeneration" cant put together words that get spelled out for them. lol

  58. S.... ....

    Peooople, the i in "iGeneration" is for 'internet' not apple o _o i wonder why everyone is bringing apple into this.

    S.... ....

    imacs tho

    S.... ....

    iPods were a thing when this song came out

  59. N.... ....

    Ultimate Naruto Fan Flash 4

  60. v.... ....

    first flash mob

  61. O.... ....

    This totally a get active ad for Fox Kids

  62. P.... S....

    MC lars wrote this song. not steve jobs. why's he all over my comment page??

  63. T.... ....

    I have a samsung. :D fuckaiphone.png

  64. P.... G....

    Iphones are run off of Samsung OS so yeah.... apple is not really 'leading' innovation.

  65. A.... A....

    Android is based off the linux system and it would of progressed just the same and Google has nothing to do with apple they are the real people pushing for innovation.

  66. A.... A....

    Steve jobs just repackaged other peoples ideas into shiny new packaging and charged an extra couple hundred for it.

    stop acting like he's some god of the computer world

  67. a.... ....

    Steve Jobs Didn't create the internet. He did not even build Apple's first PC...

  68. J.... y....

    Listen to the lyriccs. Its llike fucking illuminati

  69. w.... ....

    Internet generation not Ipod generation CMON !

    w.... ....

    we did have ipods later on..

  70. t.... ....

    Oh boy do I remember this song

  71. G.... ....

    Oh why thank you good sir.

  72. f.... ....

    Don't worry, you're as bad as the other of your generation :)

  73. w.... ....

    Dude this song is not about Ipods or any apple stuff
    Its about internet generation , social networks , smartphones shit like that

    w.... ....

    That is true but not smartphones especially since nobody was using smartphones at the time this was made. Smartphones were about 6 years later.

    w.... ....

    no smartphones, smart watches, the phones we called "organizers" and fuck you were a hip cat if you had one

  74. v.... ....

    being a 90's kid is awsome, but try to change your generation, all it takes is a few loud voices to change alot

    v.... ....

    thats how you get cops called on your ass, being loud. old people hate loud kids

  75. l.... s....

    I am going to make a recent music video of this. I'm so excited cause this is my favorite song. :)

  76. G.... ....

    I wish I was a 90's kid... Stupid idiots of my generation making the rest of us look bad...

    G.... ....

    do something about it

  77. G.... R....

    Just saw him live

  78. k.... ....

    Alex, Do Us AND Every SIngle Nerdcore Rapper A Favor And SHUT UP!!!!!

  79. T.... X....

    Steve Jobs had fuck all to do with the start of the internet.

  80. L.... L....

    Fuck yeah! :) \m/ This guy rocks - I first heard this in 2004 and I thought it sounded like Limp Bizkit gone electro - I don't mean that in a bad way, you understand :)

  81. K.... G....

    this song should play every time you buy an apple product

  82. l.... s....

    Yes we are part of the igeneration. I am proud but 66 people aren't

  83. M.... ....

    66 people aren't part of the igeneration.

  84. A.... ....

    want a medal?

  85. G.... ....

    No one mentioning Piebald?

  86. 0.... ....

    @rafalkira that shits so old oh my god

  87. r.... ....

    who else came here from naruto fan flash 4

  88. N.... ....

    @DrSmokeTrees You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. and you clearly don't know how to spell billionaire.

  89. s.... ....

    Why do I find this guy so attractive?!

  90. B.... ....

    @AkatsukiBurp


    Steve Jobs was a total asshole that hated people like you. He was a mulit-bilinair that gave about .000000000000000000000000001% of his income to charity, and ended Apple's charity programs over a decade ago, the guy was a piece of shit.



    Compare that to Bill Gates, a guy that has saved hundreds of thousands of lives and given away about half his money, 20+ billion, more than any of us will ever make. The guy is a real life batman.

  91. G.... ....

    Hurray for the 90's!

  92. k.... ....

    aww my first favorite vid C:

    R.I.P. Steve Jobs
