iGeneration
MC Lars Lyrics

Nd people tried to put us down, when iTunes bumped a post-Cold War sound.
My generation faced criticism when we embraced technology by using iTunes to listen to music with a modern sound after the Cold War.

My generation sat the mecca of malls, Times Square, I'm there, Viacom installs.
We spent time in Times Square, the epitome of shopping and commercialism, where Viacom had a heavy presence through advertising and media.

So we hit the net while the Trade Center fell, New York met Hollywood, we ran like hell.
During the events of 9/11, we turned to the internet for communication as New York and Hollywood intersected in times of crisis.

No Vietnam for us, yo, Iraq it's on. So who agree upon this cowboy Genghis Khan?
Unlike previous generations, we were faced with a new war in Iraq led by a controversial figure like a cowboy, reminding us of the warrior Genghis Khan.

The choice made, baby. Hey we'd take it back, logged in dropped out, MTV took track.
We made the choice to embrace technology and disconnect from the traditional lifestyle, but now we realize that MTV and mainstream media have taken control.

They sold it back to us and claimed no correlation. The iMac, iPod, iGeneration.
Although they sold the technology back to us, mainstream culture doesn't acknowledge the correlation between the iMac, iPod and the iGeneration.

And I'm waiting for the day we can get out. The world is ours, that's the story no doublt.
We eagerly await the day where we can break free from mainstream culture and embrace individuality, knowing that the world belongs to us.

Want to be more info super highway traffic, want to be more than a walking demographic!
We desire to be more than just a statistic in the technological highway, we want to break the mold and be unique individuals.

See the iGeneration knew organization meant optimization and unification, When imagination gave participation in creation of culture a manifestation.
We understand that organization leads to efficiency and unity, but we also value creativity and the ability to contribute to the culture being created.

The Berlin Wall fell and out we came, the post-Cold War kids laid claim to AIM.
The fall of the Berlin Wall symbolized a new era for us, the post-Cold War kids who claimed AOL Instant Messenger as our primary mode of communication.

LOL, OMG, yo, BRB. Space, colon, dash, closed parenthesis.
We predated modern-day text slang with our use of LOL, OMG, yo, and BRB, as well as emoticons like : - ).

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.
We spent time on our laptops, expressing ourselves through the internet and blogging about our personal experiences and aspirations, becoming unique individuals through digital means.

Fiber optic lenses, DVD, Coca Cola, Disney and Mickey D's. Flat mass culture, the norm that took holdÉ I hope I die before I get sold.
We were exposed to fiber optic technology, DVDs, and mainstream brands like Coca Cola, Disney, and McDonald's. We reject the flat mass culture that has taken hold and hope to stay true to our individuality.

This is the I-N-T-E-are-N-E-T ge-na-ra-tion, see?
We are the generation that is defined by our connection to the internet.

This is the I-N-T-E-are-N-E-T ge-na-ra-tion, see?
We are the generation that is defined by our connection to the internet.

REPEAT CHORUS
The chorus emphasizes that we are indeed part of the iGeneration, a generation defined by our connection to the internet and technology.
