    I went to a show this band was playing without having heard them before. A room full of people screaming ''But baby, I'm a 90s kid only 90's kids will understand this'' hit me like a lightning bolt. Ended up getting a CD. Been a fan ever since.

      i swear all the people who make folk punk are all just one big band with tiny offshoots. pat the bunny for example

    this song simultaneously makes me cry while feeling an overwhelming sense of happiness and hope. the feeling that everything is so fucked
    But maybe, just maybe, it doesn't always have to be like that. and it won't.

      the more people the world has the more need o live in poverty. all the degenerate broke breeders are as much to blame as the rich. get read for hate comments from the guilty

    This song, this band and all the work Punk With A Camera does is priceless. I am struggling with my epilepsy these days and I'm pretty terrified that I'm gunna have a stroke. I used to travel around busking homeless as fuck on the west coast and now I'm stuck in Orange County CA. I relate to this shit so much. I just wanted to try and reach out and say thanks for existing cuz I know you don't have to.

    Thank you Spotify for chucking this band my way. I put their album on repeat for a full day when I discovered them last month!

    When I was just a little kid they told me to dream big
    You can do anything
    When I got older they told me to stop dreaming
    Start being more realistic, make the coffee do the dishes
    But I can't seem to keep my head out of the clouds
    Cause whats the point of living life
    To work until I die
    That can't be it and if it is then I want out
    And honestly I never had a dream of getting older
    But here I am what can I do about it, tell me what to do about it now
    Cause I never wanted to be every single stereotype of a white middle class 20-something pissed at the economy
    I never meant to be the epitome of a quarter life crisis and being a junkie didn't live up to the hype
    When I was just a little kid they told me I was special
    Then I grew up and found out they told that to every single one of us
    Get addicted to our drugs then go away to universities
    Where we'll sell you dreams then make you work for free
    They handed us an economy thats destined us for poverty
    Then have the nerve to call us soft and lazy for complaining
    Cause they're from a generation where you could be what you wanted to be
    But baby I'm a 90's kid, only 90's kids will understand this
    Got bill collectors calling us to pay back student loans
    But they can't ever find us if we throw away our phones
    Then we can sit in diners, drinking coffee smoking cigarettes outside
    Look in each others' eyes without cell phone lights to hide behind and
    We can just kick off our shoes and make these sidewalks home
    We'll write songs and sing for food and we'll never be alone
    Never be alone, never be alone, never be alone when we're with friends
    And we'll never owe shit to anyone else
    No we'll never owe shit to anyone else
    No we'll never owe shit to anyone else
    No we'll never owe shit to anyone

    Found this song at 32. This is like a millenial theme. We are so fucked.
    I don't think our elders realize how hopelessly depressed we are as in terms of "generational conciousness". We had so much hope, but I feel like we're just shit now. We laugh at our depression. Lol.
    THANKS MOM!

    This actual song changed my mind, significantly. Stage three throat cancer and I damn near went homebum paying for it all. I sincerely considered deading myself so my kids could collect a good check and I would stop suffering. Well shit, it's only suffering if I let it be; the bill collector can fuck off. I'ma go ahead draw debt and live.

    Not so sure how I feel about this song... but it's because my name is Bill... which is a lot more rare than you'd think. I've legitimately never met another. Everyone claiming their name is Bill, is always a William. I've met plenty of Jim's that weren't James. Andy's and Drew's that weren't Andrew. Never another Bill. And this Bill... has GOT to get paid.
