🎶Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cause we need a little controversy
Because it feels so empty without me!
🎶Little hellions kids feeling rebellious
Embarrassed, their parents still listen to Elvis
They start feeling like prisoners, helpless
'Til someone comes along on a mission and yells"bitch"🎶
I don’t really understand song lyrics (rap’s generally easier to understand, but not Eminem, lol), so that’s the first time I realized how it goes and I strongly identify with this.
My parents were both born in 1950, and one of my aunts was born five years earlier. I know those are literally two different generations, but also figuratively. My parents’ favorite musicians were Eric Clapton and Donovan, and my aunt’s was Elvis, the latter of which seemed unbearably old fashioned to me as a kid (and I was born about 30 years after Clapton and Donovan became relevant, but they were still at least enjoyable to listen to even when I was very young).
Meanwhile, my goofy ass was born five years after you. I spent a huge chunk of my childhood sitting at the foot of my bed with an old Caliphone record player listening to the Elvis readers digest collection.

My grandmother was obsessed to a level that was quite insane.
My poor grandpa had to make love to his wife under a giant picture of Elvis Presley, and he knew good and well where she was pretending to be. Her cars all had a huge silhouette of Elvis on the back glass and one on the hood with the text reading something like “#1 Elvis Fan”. “‘at was ‘uh perdiest man who ever lived right ‘tar.” Said Grandma.
You would think her obsession would have made me feel the way you felt about it. Something is wrong with me though haha.
Hey, you do you! I can enjoy a little Elvis now, too, but I had a hard time with anything pre British Invasion as a kid
I will say, I rarely listen to Elvis now. If I do it’s just a way to connect with little kid me.
The Beatles though, I listen to them every day and I have my whole life.
I have a few Elvis 8-tracks and records I'd listen to. I'm in my twenties btw. Elvis gets shit on alot but mainstream music before him (with some exceptions) sucked so much ass.
A visionary. Vision is scary.
Dude those are not different generations. They are both early boomers.
1946-64 are boomers, my aunt is silent generation at 1945, though she’s definitely on the cusp.
She's postwar. Boomer by definition. Silent generation is for children raised during the war.
Eta: I looked up the dates and I can see a lot of sources that give the 1946 date so consensus is on your side. I'm old, but the boundary used to be those who were raised during the war vs those who wouldn't have any memory of it. There is the same argument on the other side as well where late boomers claim to be "Generation Jones" between boomers and X.
Yeah, they’re all pretty close to the border no matter what. I was honestly just throwing that in because I was saying that they seemed like they were different generations personality-wise (my aunt also married at 20 a man a decade older than she was, so that plays a role) and I figured someone was going to reply that they technically were from different generations.
Im an Xer but my parents were born in the 1920s. My parents were the same ages as my friends grandparents. I grew up listening to swing music at home. Lol.
