A look at the world artists exist in in 2022, written as though Pete Townshend or Ray Davies had done so.

lyrics

Manufactured face
Kodak moments have their place
But if you climbed a mountain
Didn’t take a picture
Did it really happen?
If nobody got richer, oh
We’re the content generation

Let’s go see a show
And show our friends that video
If only this goes viral
Lands in the trending section
Maybe it’ll feel like genuine connection, oh
It’s the new sensation

Singin’
Show the world who you are
So long as the angle is right
Like for like, even if I don’t like it
I wouldn’t tell you anyway
So play the game with me

Let’s play for the prize
The winner leaves with wandering eyes
Everybody wants to feel like they matter
‘Cos everybody wants to climb the social ladder
Ohh
We’re the content generation
Ohhh
We’re the new sensation
Ohh
& we’re all singin’

Show the world who you are
So long as the angle is right
Like for like, even if I don’t like it
I couldn’t tell you anyway
So play the game
Oh what a shame

We’re the content generation (x2)
We’re the content generation of all time
