The Who: Talkin’ ‘bout my generation!

Me: What are they saying?

The Who: Awfully cold things!

Me: Ok, which generation is this, by the way?

The Who: The Boomers

Me: Oh, the generation that revived Nazism as a mainstream political force?

The Who: Um, er, that might be a minority

Me: And you personally, Mr Daltrey, you voted for Brexit and are currently busy on the wrong side of the “war on woke”, aren’t you?

Daltrey: WOKE BASTARDS! DESTROYING ALL THAT IS GOOD AND PURE! BLOODY FOREIGNERS! RULE BRITANIA!

Me: Maybe they had a point about your generation.

Or maybe The Who had a point about dying before getting old. But surely it was "people" who DID things which looked awful c-c-cold?

"Hope I die before I get old" really hitting home in this context.
