They were put there by a man!
In a factory, down tooooown!
If I had my little way
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.
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.
The song Peaches by The Presidents of The USA
"They were put there by a man, in a factory downtown..."
I'm gonna move me to the country, gonna eat me a lot of peaches.
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 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.
Younger millennial checking in, despite the relevance of my username I have no idea what this means.
Took a little nap where the roots all twist
Squished a rotten peach in my fist
And dreamed about you, wooooomaaaaan
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.
Look out!
Then the ninjas jump out of the tree.
I'm a young millennial and I love this song but none of my peers knew wtf I was talking about
It is your duty to inform them.
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.
Wtf does this mean?
Millions of peaches! Peaches for me. Millions of peaches! Peaches for free.
LOOKOUT!

58 Gen X Brit here. Even I know the correct response. It was a popular tune.
