I feel seen | TheaterFire

I remember calling in requests for this song to be played circa 1998 and the DJ asking me "how old are you!?". Don't judge me radio clown, just play the song.

Between this and Weezer The Sweater Song my daughter was asking me “no like this is a real song, for real?”

It you want to destroy my sweater, woah woah woah pull this thread a l walk away. As I walk away. Watch me unravel I'll soon be naked. Lying on the floor.lying on the floor as I come undone! 😻

No-Dig-4408@reddit

I would move to the country, and of course eat me a lot of peaches, but I worry about the cost of ninja insurance.

[-]

djdiphenhydramine@reddit

I hate this song and this band so much lmao and I feel like I'm the ONLY person my age who does.

[-]

sassypants450@reddit

When this song came out, I was already a full-blown teenage goth snob. To this day I still think it sucks. Lol.

If it was cobbler, it would probably be better. But yeah, not a fan.

My wife is 8 years younger. This totally worked!!!

CyclopsGuy@reddit

Age certainly isnt a good sign... nope only pop culture references!

[-]

toastyhoodie@reddit

FWIW, my 6 year old has found my 90’s playlist on my iPod and listens to Peaches all the time.

Can’t be an xennial if you don’t interpret the lyrics in your own way 👍

degreesBrix@reddit

Are you my wife? 🤣 That's the only way she sings songs.

[-]

hammysandy@reddit

If the millions of peaches were for free, who's paying the man in the factory downtown?

[-]

DirtyBirdDawg@reddit

We didn't worry about stuff like that back in the '90s.

[-]

Key-Shine3878@reddit

Had this stuck in my head all damn day because of this post...

[-]

chromix@reddit (OP)

It is. Also, why do I inexplicably loath that song with the intensity of 1000 suns?

[-]

EltonJohnsLeftBall@reddit

I tried this with my late millenial sister, and she asked if I was having a stroke.

[-]

the_one_jt@reddit

My sisters nickname was peaches… so uh I don’t get it. Boring ass song.

It’s okay. They assume we all like the same music and stuff. Let them have their thing.

Elder. Saturated radio play when my barely genx ass was in high school. Half my friends had this album.

[-]

imokquestionmark@reddit

Wow really? Ive never heard this and am 44. Maybe its a geological thing. Im from NY. Thanks for the response.

[-]

Did you listen to mainstream modern/alternative rock radio in 96? Song hit 29th on Billboard's Hot 100, and 8th on Billboard's Modern Rock, and was nominated for a Grammy. Give it a listen, maybe it'll ring a bell.

Growing up in NY, you had a much richer music scene and indy radio presence. Here in AK, all we got was mainstream; if we heard it, that meant everyone in the US was hearing it.

[-]

imokquestionmark@reddit

Lol oh no. Ive never seen this video or heard this song. Apparently my sister knows it. She was born in 97!

[-]

Zagmut@reddit

There's a lot of music out there, no one's gonna hear it all. I never listened to any pop, rap, or country growing up, so there are likely hundreds of popular songs from my youth era that I'm unfamiliar with.

[-]

imokquestionmark@reddit

Haha! Very true! Never too late to discover a new (old) band or song.

[-]

Zagmut@reddit

Truth. Any mid 90s songs that you still know by heart?

[-]

imokquestionmark@reddit

Oh yea. I listen to 90s music still. But as ive gotten older a lot of 70s disco and 80s pop. Idk why nostalgia I, guess

[-]

Steavee@reddit

You’ve never heard Peaches?

Are you sure you’re not 54?

The video was on MTV a ton. Back when they did that.

[-]

imokquestionmark@reddit

Lmao 🤣 nope. Never. I mostly listened to punk, grunge and hip hop in the 90s.

[-]

nitrot150@reddit

Me too, yet…..

[-]

imokquestionmark@reddit

Congrats!

[-]

WeenisPeiner@reddit

Really? Well I'm from Utica and I've never heard that peaches come from a can and we're put there by a man.

[-]

MmmSteaky@reddit

Oh, no, not in Utica. It’s an Albany Presidents of the United States of America song.

[-]

JavaOrlando@reddit

Older. 1996.

Im sad to say im an elder millennial and I didnt understand the peaches from a can lol.

[-]

Important_Tennis936@reddit

The saddest thing about my life is that I currently work in a factory. It is not downtown. There is a concerning lack of peaches. Zero cans. I was misled

[-]

UltraLlamatron@reddit

My kids will respond correctly to this!

[-]

Important_Tennis936@reddit

My teenager drew a picture for my birthday present, and there was, indeed, a man. Putting peaches in can.

[-]

deathcabforqanon@reddit

Yeah, I'm not sure how, but gen alpha knows/loves this song and Lump!

[-]

Stuff like this shows up on Tiktok constantly. That's why.

Our local Alternative station plays Lump constantly. 😂

Aevo7rynthialex77@reddit

Peaches come from a can. If you read that and didn't sing it, you're a liar.

Thats not the lyrics

Why? My buddy’s 13 year old son knows this song.

Jifeeb@reddit

My favorite song about cunnilingus

I could sing along to any song on that album. The real ones know Kitty and Body by heart!

Recent_Permit2653@reddit

I’m also blanking out on what this is.

From context clues, it’s either a TV thing, which I didn’t get into much, or song lyrics, which I have trouble understanding and rarely am able to eke out enough of to commit to memory.

[-]

ScottishKnifemaker@reddit

The presidents of the United States of America - peaches

It's a song from the 90s

[-]

Recent_Permit2653@reddit

Heck yeah I can hear it now. I can put the words to the tune.

Am I weird that lyrics are almost unintelligible to me?

Mr Brightside

Dailia-@reddit

Hmmm I’d consider both of those songs part of my diaspora. I suppose I am a ‘true’ millennial 🙃

[-]

RVAforthewin@reddit

I’m not a younger millennial and I have no idea ever this references…

[-]

Zagmut@reddit

The song Peaches by The Presidents of the USA, a ridiculously catchy alt rock radio hit from 95. The whole album is a jam.

[-]

RVAforthewin@reddit

In ‘95 I def would have been listening to bubblegum pop.

[-]

Zagmut@reddit

Hey, to each their own, right? I was a rock and roll boy, combat boots and ripped flannels and all; nothing but grunge, metal, alt, and classic rock passed through my headphones. My little bro was closer to your age, and all he listened to was gansta rap.
