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?
How? This was everywhere
I thought we were Gen x or y?
Anyway, this entire album is fucking banger.
The generational boundaries are somewhat arbitrary. They were put there by a man who just happened to be the guy who got that particular assignment. In a factory downtown that produces nothing but information for immediate consumption, I’m sure the generational gaps can seem more severe.
If I had my little way, I’d want people to understand it was much more of a spectrum (it still is); we lived in roughly the same world as the kids five grades above us had lived in at our age. I’d eat peaches every day in the lunchroom and didn’t have to defend them because I was sitting with kids two grades above me. And when I met alums from the school who had graduated they seemed like full-on adults, but they were the same culture as me. Didn’t seem like a different generation.
I lived in the country in the 90s, going to a little school. I ran track, and I remember sitting around with the girls waiting for various events, just sun soaking, or sitting on root bulges in the shade, lazing around. No cell phones, forced to socialize though I was terrified of it.
Growing up was roughly the same for us as the kids 5 years ahead of us. Except we were The Class of 2000, and had been raised to subtly believe we were the pioneers of a new civilization based on avoiding endlessly-growing-landfill apocalypse and acid rain.
I dreamed about you, woman
This may be the most amazing comment in the history of the internet
This comment is a goddamn work ~o fart~ of art DAMNIT
work-o-fart lmao
I think this is especially true the older you get, but my experience was vastly different to my husband’s who was born 4 years before me, and somewhat significantly different from my brother’s 3 years behind. Part of the gap between my husband and I has to do with the large age difference in our parents, but the biggest difference is how quickly technology was changing in our formative years in the early 2000s. I am the youngest of the millennials, my brother is firmly gen Z (though only born the first or second year of them) and my husband is firmly a millennial
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.
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.
Severely underrated album. Holds up better than almost any from that year
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.
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)
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.
If you can see them, they’re not really ninjas.
TIL The PotUSA’s looks like bald Dennis from IASIP.
Oh I know that song. I was imaging it was referencing a commercial or something.
Allow me to explain

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.
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
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
Kitty on my foot and I wanna touch it
FUCK YOU KITTY, YOURE GONNA SPEND THE NIGHT
OUT. SIIIIIIIIDE!
Fuck you kitty!
I’m a young millennial and I love this song but none of my peers knew wtf I was talking about
Sounds like you have a rock and roll problem, and we’ve got a solution.
“Lump lingered, last in line for brains”
Did you know that song was inspired by his brain tumor? Not a joke.
For the folks who don’t know The singer from POTUSA sings kids music as Casper Babypants and his songs are bangers that my 11 month old daughter and I both enjoy equally.
holy shit checking this out now
58 Gen X Brit here. Even I know the correct response. It was a popular tune.
50 Gen here I saw them live.
Any of this posts’ targets with little kids looking for fun music check out Caspar Babypants
Makes me want to move to the country.
