The Who were a seminal rock band. They have so many great songs, but this one sort of changed the world. I used to hope I died before I got old. Until I got old.
Here's My Generation:

Until I got old! The same!...
Brilliant images of 60's Brighton and London.
Was in the 80's mod revival myself, loved Carnaby St as back then it still had the original 60's feel, crazy paving, loads of independent boutiques. Great, but there was often trouble between rival youth cultures, esp the Skinheads of the time!
Such a shame Carnaby St was ripped up and 'modernised'. I think there is only one original mod shop left now ..

You ever see that version of the old people doing a cover of this track?
When I hear "my generation" I don't immediately think of The Who I think of Limp Bizkit!

The limp Bizkit song only shares a name it's not a cover or anything. But the zimmers doing the cover was really fun. Videos being a little annoying won't play because owner restrictions. But it's worth checking out on YouTube.

the zimmers cover of the who is great... hope I can still pull that off when I hit that age!
also checked out limp bizkit, tbf the lyrics of their song, which is nothing to do with The Who song of the same name, is pretty much just an updating of the same themes...

Yeah it's a similar vein for sure but it is a very different song or at leas delivered in a much more blunt way.
The zimmers however, I love going back and watching that, it's really heartwarming. I also wanna be able to pull that off at their age.
