The Who, My Generation

My Generation, was one of the biggest early hits of the British rock group The Who, and quickly became their anthem. Written by Pete Townshend in 1965 for rebellious British youths called Mods, it expressed their feeling that older people "just don't get it".
It has entered the rock and roll pantheon as one of the most celebrated, cited, and referenced songs in the idiom; it was named the eleventh greatest song by Rolling Stone on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Perhaps the most striking element of the song is the lyrics, considered one of the most distilled statements of youthful rebellion in rock history. The "attitude" of the track alone helped make it an acknowledged forebear of the punk rock movement.
People try to put us down
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
