I heard Generation X, "Youth Youth Youth" on the radio a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't heard it since high school in the 80s.

How odd, it was released in late 70’s in the UK

Yes, it was released in the late 70's in the US, too. However, I was only about 6 years old at the time, and I did not hear the album until about 10 years later, when my older brother brought home a copy for us to listen to.

Shush. Our genX superpower is everyone ignores us and they chew on each other. Same as it ever was. 🤣

I love everything billy idol did up through whiplash smile. Generation X is pretty much the blue print for pop-punk. I keep checking out his output in the hopes that he and Steve will recapture the glory but i haven't really connected with anything in a long time. The Cage and the roadside were both okay but I only listened once. the BFI live album is super fun though.
Anyway.

In 2017, ‟Youth cptured by high school teacher” has a completely different meaning.

Doesn't one of the commandments say that you're not supposed to worship Idol?
Repulsive_Reply_956 OP t1_itsri21 wrote
Only false idol. That’s the real Idol.

That was just a misunderstanding based on the sound similarities of the names. God was talking about Eric Idle. You're not supposed to worship Eric Idle.

For the people who don't get the visual reference here, Billy Idol was the lead singer of the band "Generation X" before he had a solo career.
