The millennial generation spans about 15 years and there are many subcultures within our group. While we may have different memories of when technology came into our lives, who the best boy band was, and which Disney villain scared us most (Scar!) - there are iconic pieces of the time that define and unite us.
The Fallout Boy re-do of We Didn’t Start the Fire sums things up relatively well, but here it goes. Aligned with our mission of being a positive, uplifting corner of the internet, I crafted some new verses based on what it means to me to be a millennial.
