That was the first CD I bought when I got a CD player for christmas.
I’m early Gen Z and I know this song lmao. It played here and there on the local alternative rock radio stations.
Seattle area? They are from North West and their songs play fairly often here
Salt Lake City area, actually. Pretty far from Seattle. Peaches is the only song I know off the top of my head though.
I just scream out…CASPER BABYPANTS!
His kids stuff is just so good
Took a little nap where the roots all twist
Squished a rotten peach in my fist
And dreamed about you, wooooomaaaaan
That scream always threw me off.
“They were put there by a man, in a factory downtown…”
THEY WERE PUT THERE BY A MANoh fuck
Got me too. Don’t feel bad.
Yep. 1995 here and ive got no idea.
Here now you can pretend to be born in the mid to late 80s instead:

Well you see peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man in a factory downtown.
96, I only know cuz I have an older brother
Oh, its an American thing. Guess Lemme’s not immune to the “Nowhere else exists except the United States” rule of the internet
i wouldnt go on a chinese website and complain about it being chinese centric
English doesnt equal American dumbass
yes it does 😤🇺🇸
Nah, not a US only thing at all. See the charts here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peaches_(The_Presidents_of_the_United_States_of_America_song)#Charts
I’m pretty sure I fall under older Millenial (89) and I definitely didnt hear this song enough for the lyrics to immediately bring up that response, but I can accept I’m an anomaly I guess
Edit: Lmao, the other comment I was at least aggressive, but like, this is the most passive agreement I might be the odd one out here, how is this one getting downvoted to oblivion?
89 feels a but young you would have been about 8 when it came out. probably just missed it
I’m the same age and knew exactly which song it was 🤷♂️
This was never a good song. But I will add that pears in can are better than fresh pears that ain’t Asian pears. Those crispy things are delicious
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
I’m gonna move me to the country, gonna eat me a lot of peaches.
Kitty on my foot and I wanna touch it
FUCK YOU KITTY, YOURE GONNA SPEND THE NIGHT
OUT. SIIIIIIIIDE!
Fuck you kitty!
I thought we were Gen x or y?
Anyway, this entire album is fucking banger.
This is according to the US Census
Gen X: (born 1965-1980)
Gen Y is the same as Millennial: (born 1981-1996)
Woah. I always thought I was Gen X but TIL I’m probably a millennial.
If you’re near the cusp, pick whichever makes you feel better. Generations are a sociological construct and are appropriately applied in the aggregate, not to individuals and they’re always fuzzy around the edges. Much like Hari Seldon can’t predict specific individual events, sociological generations don’t always apply exactly the same to individual people.
If you’re born anywhere between around 1978 and 1984, you will likely find at least one sociologist who draws the line on either side of you.
I tend to go with Strauss-Howe, who consider GenX to be 1961-1981 and Millennials to be 1982-2005 – mostly because I like their idea of turnings and cyclical archetypes.
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.
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)
Severely underrated album. Holds up better than almost any from that year
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.
Just as I’m thinking about repairing it some little friends come along with some 2 string, 1 string, no string guitars and they plug em all in to the back porch
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.
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 comment is a goddamn work ~o fart~ of art DAMNIT
work-o-fart lmao
This may be the most amazing comment in the history of the internet
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
Little blind spider took the wheel
Navigating grass blades completely by feel
Gotta sassy chassis sparkling in the sun
All four small bald fat tires rockin’ through the sand and burnin’ up
Hwat?
Looks like a US-thing. Never heard this song and I’m elder-millennial.
Was huge in Australia too!
Yeah I managed to catch these guys at the Hordern, God I miss that place, so many good shows
Where are you? I’m late Gen X in Sweden, and there wasn’t a second of doubt for me.
We are separated by the sea of time.
UK.
Huge in Denmark too.
That would make sense. It definitely was big for a period of time here in the US.
I don’t know what to say. 🍑
