Well considering Lucas was born in 2008, he grew up in the 2010s where Green Day wasn’t as well known as it was in the 90s and early/mid 2000s. I’m pretty sure there were artists before when I was born in 1996 that I haven’t heard of before. I haven’t heard of Peter Frampton until a year or two ago until my dad told me about them. I don’t know a single song by Devo or Dire Straits. I also don’t think that Lucas had that exposure of having someone else getting him into pop culture of the generation before he was born like Jaxon did.
@@dylanalexander4393 yeah. The kid just wanted to show off his Green Day cred (is that a thing?) Everyone has to experience something for the first time at some point in their life.
Pairing Lucas and Jaxon together is one of the best things I've ever seen. Jaxon's complete outrage that Lucas had no idea who Green Day was is relatable.
And his frustration with Lucas not knowing Green Day cracks me up, especially when I remember so many of the adults and elders feeling that way about him at times.
This is such a contrast from a few weeks ago, where Jaxon was deemed a terrible kid & one of worst of his generation because he wasn’t a big fan of Slipknot. But it seems he has now officially redeemed himself, proving that he is a fan of rock and metal, just not “heavy” metal (yet)
I think part of the problem is that music tends to be generational. Every generation believes their music was the best, and when that generation grows up their nostalgia for their music makes it difficult to understand why the younger generations don't know it, or love it, or sometimes don't even like it. When we become adults we often forget what it's like to be a teenager and we begin to behave like our parents and grandparents did to us - "You don't know Frank Sinatra?? What is wrong with you kids today!"
I'm upset they didn't give some background info for Zombie...it's such an important message for any generation. Even the more recent (and utterly phenomenal) Bad Wolf cover that Dolores was supposed to be a part of before she passed.
Nah that era is over long long time ago. Its like explaining sonnet to a whole different generation. Now what people care to listen is song about getting driving license and bawling over their crush while driving around alone.
I am a little younger, 26 but I feel exactly the same way with my little niece and nephew. When I told them last summer I was going to see Green Day live they looked at me like "Green who?", it's a sad thing haha .. And I have to say they do know rock bands, just a couple days ago I put on an 80's playlist and they where singing along to AC/DC. So, there is hope haha ☺️
Growing up in the 90's I knew so many songs from the 80's, 70's and 60's as a kid. It is so weird that they have so much more access to music but stick to the new stuff. So many old songs have so much meaning behind them.
As someone who grew up in the 2000s I find it weird too. I love old music. We have the means to listen to any kind of music from any era and that’s so cool. It’s just not utilised by many people my age.
Ikr? when i was growing up, mtv had reruns of 90s music ALL THE TIME (local MTV is half a year younger than me), with some of these mvs being older than the channel itself. though, to be fair, I'm sure some of the people from our generation was just as stubborn in that regard, despite having access to mtv and musical radio stations
As someone born right on the cusp of Gen X/Millennials ('82)... There were always kids even back then who only listened to chart music and paid no attention to stuff from past decades.
Lucas and the girl in the brown hoodie need to expand their musical horizons. The Cranberries' Zombie was a powerful protest song in response to The Troubles and the IRA bombings up in Northern Ireland. It's a timeless, iconic song depicting and drawing attention to the horrors of war and conflict.
Or, they can like what they like. In terms of The Cranberries, they didn’t dive into the details of “Zombie”. That shouldn’t be on the fault of the Reactors.
This is all relative and subjective. I'm sure people from around the world would (including marginalized communities in your own country) would claim that YOU would need to "expand your musical horizons" for only being familiar with your specific exposure and knowledge. And yet, here we are, critiquing a 15 year old for knowing what she knows at her young age. Give her a break. Also: How are you so sure the OTHER teens are familiar with the song and its meaning (they may not be and may just shallowly know the tune). Why are you specifically focusing on Angel? 🤔🤔
He has done musicals and he also sings in real life. Most people who are involved in theatre and are musicians they usually have a fairly good knowledge about music
It makes me happy that a lot of them knew zombie by the cranberries. I agree with the one girl that song is extremely emotional and I often will shed a tear while listening. It bothered me how the other girl dismissed her statement with that "what do you feel?!" That song has an extremely powerful message and it's reflected in the vocals and instrumentals even without knowing what the backstory of the song Is.
@@SuperMyacc I mean, I personally have never liked that song just my personal preference. But I can recognize the emotional impact of it and yeah that girl was being pretty dismissive IMO
I'm so happy you guys are bringing this series back, glad that you are opening these kids up to some of the best era in music! Also, back in my day... wait...when did I become my dad lol.
This is a really cool episode. I love when you guys do throwback songs and movies from the 90s. Love seeing Gen Z’s reactions to them. Love seeing how some of them were gettin into it too. So great, guys! Can’t wait to see what else you guys have in store!
You can and he did. 🤣 “Hey kiddos, here are 3 bands from Seattle that were huge in the 90s. Two of the lead singers committed suicide and one basically did the same by not getting off heroin no matter how many people tried to help him get sober for years! And then there’s Pearl Jam who are still around for some reason.”
@deevilishbeeauty9850 exactly! Like, it’s fine if you don’t like something but even hee body movement is just so nasty about everything. Didn’t anyone teach her tact??
9:31 "what did you feel?" The centuries long struggle and pain of the Irish wanting their damn land back after England starved and then literally divided the country into two, separating families and specifically, 30 years of conflict that led to the deaths of 2,000+ people not agreeing with the IRAs actions
As a 90’s chick, I give full respect to Dani for being able to sing along to just about every song, in range, in key. He’s got vocal skills and spirit!! 🫶🏻
Jaxon says lighter, Lucas says flashlight...😂 Jaxon is one of us. He's an old(er) soul. Come to our side. 😂Loved seeing both of them. (and wonder where time went, since Lucas grew up so much since I last saw him in a video 🥲)
Plain disrespectful… telling the director of Everlong she needs some advice… god damn it… I hate everything about this except the Kid that’s amazed by the other dude who doesn’t know Green Day
As someone who grew up with these songs...I'm glad that the Gen Z of the UK and Ireland doesn't have to live through what inspired Zombie. I hope that they never have to.
Very true. We all watched MTV and it turned us on to different things. Imagine what these kids would be listening to these days without the internet telling them whats cool.
"Don't be bothered, they're just kids. Why would they know 30 year old music? Don't be bothered, they're just kids. Why would they know 30 year old music?" - Me controlling my blood pressure
Why would they not know music from 30y ago? I lissened to whatever my parent used to lissen to... Elvis the Beatles etc...history of music is the best!😊
My children are under the age of 25, and they listen to music from the 50's to the present. Not just one type! They understand that music can create emotions and memories. Just like my parents did for me. So yes, I'm bothered that Gen Z doesn't know past music or part of pop culture that shaped the world today.
What's funny is that the 90s was a rebellion against the divas and corporate singers. Focusing on bands, the garage set-up, highly individualistic styles. And yet here we are in Generation Z where the divas have basically won and most everything sounds the same, with only a handful of exceptions making it mainstream.
@@barneyDcaller Exactly. It was the best decade for music in the 20th century because there was freedom to explore outside the box for all of those genres. Country caught up in the 2010s, but even 90s country was good (and I'm not a country fan).
The 90s had its divas as well (e.g. Madonna, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera) and I don't think that these bands so much rebelled against them, but rather were just a different style (the rebels were more from the punk genre). But you're totally right that this kind of music doesn't exist anymore, which is sad (was sad to see punk turn into pop punk, then into emo, and then zip...)
YES. I miss it. Back in the 90s and early 2000s (I'd say before 2005), there was quite a lot of variety which is so missed. But especially in the rock genre where radios would play tons of variety within the genre. From grunge like Soundgarden to Nirvana to Funk-inspired rock music like 311 and Red Hot Chili Peppers to Ska Punk lie The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and No Doubt and Punk like Bad Religion and Green Day (their older work pre American Idiot). It's the variety that is so missed.
@@taylormomsenssidehoe It's true that rock is still very much alive today underground but what he means is once upon a time rock music used to be featured a lot in the mainstream.
One thing I noticed on these videos is something that my 15-year-old son says all the time, about how things look. You know this is music and they seem to care equally about the production value and editing and how it looks. Find this interesting because the music videos were cool but it was about the music, not the video. Today's kids are so visual that they have made music a more visual medium than auditory.
Nah, music videos were huge back then too. Maybe more so, since MTV was still massive. Michael Jackson dropping Thriller was a huge deal. Smells Like Teen Spirit's iconic cheerleaders in the hell-dark gym. The lavishness of the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. Guns n' Roses epic wedding/funeral theme for November Rain. It's just that production looks old to these Gen Z eyes because they aren't in HD, and they also don't seem to get the aesthetic comedy - the four Alanis' in the car being OTT, the garish look of The Offspring video, etc. They think that's what being cool looked like in the 90s, that everyone is being sincere when half of these are satirical - deliberately exaggerated, deliberately being cringe and taking the piss out of certain things.
@@droidgeist production. The quality. There were a lot more low quality vids than high production value vids in the 80s. Michael Jackson was the exception not the norm
@@drunvert I mentioned other songs beyond Thriller. Yeah, the production is better, but definitely disagree about quality. There's plenty of big movies that are lower quality than indie movies. The same goes for music videos from the 90s. The budgets may have been smaller but the creativity was greater.
It scares me how much of a bubble gen z created for themselves. I'm a fairly young millennial and I'm well aware of the bands and music from the generations before me.
I feel like they are so self-focused that they are out of touch with everything around them. That's gonna be a problem with them all at the age where they're entering the real world.
Zombie every time hits hard. "It's the same old theme Since nineteen-sixteen In your head, in your head, they're still fighting With their tanks and their bombs And their bombs and their guns In your head, in your head, they are dying" Shivers.
One of these kids is shitting on a renowned music video Director whose made tens of millions of dollars with their talent by saying she needs advice. It’s a microcosm of their whole genre overly opinionated with no experience to back it up.
The fact that the singer of the offspring has 2 masters degrees and a PhD in molecular biology is crazy when you see their music videos. Cause the videos are all just insane. Then you remember one of the most educated men on the planet and is involved in HIV research and is in this band. He solves advanced math and biological formulas in his free time when he's not writing lyrics
Okay....I'm choosing to do just one rant.... PLEASE tell me that someone explained to them what Zombie is actually about? That it's not just screaming ZOMBIE in the air... Maybe that will change their tune. Okay, I'm done now. Thanks!
When we Gen Xers were kids we knew all the stuff our parents listened to, because in the car we only had THE RADIO/CASSETTE DECK (or 8 track if you are old enough) and in the house the FAMILY RADIO, so we all listened to the same stuff. Most of us 70s kids did not even have our own radio in our room. Today every one has their own personal music player and high quality headphones so we can all listen to whatever we want, even in the same room with other people. I do not like that todays kids do not know their parents music in the way that Gen Xers did know their parent music, but that is just how it is today. (I blame SONY for inventing portable music)
I mean, I’m a millennial and I know all my parents favs like Aerosmith, Blondie, Fleetwood Mac, etc. and my 7 year old knows all my favs like No Doubt and Local H and TØP. I think it’s about the way families listen to music. I love a variety of sounds so we listen to most things together. Especially in the car.
Jaxon's utter refusal to believe that Lucas hasn't heard of Green Day is glorious
and as a 90s kid my reaction was the same 😀😀
I don't even like green day tbh but not having heard of them is really unbelievable to me...

Why does dude over sing every song
“Backstreet Boys!”
“Ooh, that was a good guess!”
Producer: “NO IT’S NOT!!”

Beaststreet Boys: "Quit sabotaging my heart"
Pairing Lucas and Jaxon together is one of the best things I've ever seen. Jaxon's complete outrage that Lucas had no idea who Green Day was is relatable.
tbh my reaction would also be like jaxon lmaooo 💀
Ah yes, The Beetles and Beethoven, my favourite 90's rap trios 😊
I love that I’ve been watching this channel long enough to see Jaxon go from a kid to now where he’s evolved to about 70% Dad vibes. Love it.
And he's only 20 years old!
The way they talked about Everlong ... my god, it crushed my entire soul and I briefly felt so much rage lmao
Please always put Jaxon and Lucas together. Just so Jaxon can school him.
Yes. Send Lucas to 90s Music School
@@michaelewing6522 Nah send him home
Next time offspring is featured, there needs to be some other song than better fly for a white guy or why don't you get a job.
Lucas is so negative.
@@markcastellanet9672 fr right. Bad habit a good one

What are you on about Jaxon is horrible second only to Lucas...
I die a little everday realizing the best generation of music is largely unknown by this generation, despite the fact the internet exists.
To put this in perspective. They called the wigger in The Offspring video Eminem. It's crazy. They're missing out
I think part of the problem is that music tends to be generational. Every generation believes their music was the best, and when that generation grows up their nostalgia for their music makes it difficult to understand why the younger generations don't know it, or love it, or sometimes don't even like it.

There is so much out there and in a second the internet takes you down the rabbit hole...right to your own zone. XooX
Literally. There’s no excuse for the ignorance 😭
maybe the songs are not their taste?
Thats because they only listen to the same 5 shit songs that are just being put out nowadays. The remaining braincells that they have left, that is.
I love how outraged the interviewer was when she confused Backstreet Boys and the Bestie Boys. No they're not!
There was legit offence in his tone XD

@@barneyDcaller Exactly. It was the best decade for music in the 20th century because there was freedom to explore outside the box for all of those genres. Country caught up in the 2010s, but even 90s country was good (and I'm not a country fan).
The 90s had its divas as well (e.g. Madonna, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera) and I don't think that these bands so much rebelled against them, but rather were just a different style (the rebels were more from the punk genre). But you're totally right that this kind of music doesn't exist anymore, which is sad (was sad to see punk turn into pop punk, then into emo, and then zip...)
I’d say majority of female pop artists today aren’t the stereotypical “diva”.
And there’s a lot of that rebellion influence in the millennial/Gen Z pop world.
"Im noticing a lot of these songs are rock"....yes children, we used to have music with more than just an electronically made baseline. It was great!
YEAH
There's still a lot of that lmao, you just gotta know where to look
YES. I miss it. Back in the 90s and early 2000s (I'd say before 2005), there was quite a lot of variety which is so missed. But especially in the rock genre where radios would play tons of variety within the genre. From grunge like Soundgarden to Nirvana to Funk-inspired rock music like 311 and Red Hot Chili Peppers to Ska Punk lie The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and No Doubt and Punk like Bad Religion and Green Day (their older work pre American Idiot).
It's the variety that is so missed.
@@taylormomsenssidehoe It's true that rock is still very much alive today underground but what he means is once upon a time rock music used to be featured a lot in the mainstream.
At this point I'm convinced the videos are intended to hate-watch these kids.
That one kid literally hates everything, he brings down every dang reaction he’s in.
As an earlier gen z it really does feel like late and early gen z are two different breeds
I feel sorry for your generation in general 😂
And each individual gen-z kid has a different taste, there are plenty that like older music
Agreed
"that's a good guess"
Camera guy: "NO, ITS NOT!"
That killed me.
This didn't hurt my feelings.... but it hurt my soul. I made sure my kids grew up listening to all of this😁
One thing I noticed on these videos is something that my 15-year-old son says all the time, about how things look. You know this is music and they seem to care equally about the production value and editing and how it looks. Find this interesting because the music videos were cool but it was about the music, not the video. Today's kids are so visual that they have made music a more visual medium than auditory.
interesting observation
Nah, music videos were huge back then too. Maybe more so, since MTV was still massive.
Michael Jackson dropping Thriller was a huge deal. Smells Like Teen Spirit's iconic cheerleaders in the hell-dark gym. The lavishness of the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. Guns n' Roses epic wedding/funeral theme for November Rain.
It's just that production looks old to these Gen Z eyes because they aren't in HD, and they also don't seem to get the aesthetic comedy - the four Alanis' in the car being OTT, the garish look of The Offspring video, etc. They think that's what being cool looked like in the 90s, that everyone is being sincere when half of these are satirical - deliberately exaggerated, deliberately being cringe and taking the piss out of certain things.
@@droidgeist production. The quality. There were a lot more low quality vids than high production value vids in the 80s. Michael Jackson was the exception not the norm
@@drunvert I mentioned other songs beyond Thriller. Yeah, the production is better, but definitely disagree about quality. There's plenty of big movies that are lower quality than indie movies. The same goes for music videos from the 90s. The budgets may have been smaller but the creativity was greater.
This just proves that there is a difference between older generation and younger genz because after 2005 those kids are completely different
It scares me how much of a bubble gen z created for themselves. I'm a fairly young millennial and I'm well aware of the bands and music from the generations before me.
My mom (1985) didnt even know half of these songs lol
theyve chosen kids that didnt know anything on purpose, an average gen z would know at least 65% of these
It’s giving “PICK ME”
Ikr
I feel like they are so self-focused that they are out of touch with everything around them. That's gonna be a problem with them all at the age where they're entering the real world.
“THAT’S A GOOD GUESS!”
“NO, IT’S NOT!”
😂😂😂
Zombie every time hits hard. "It's the same old theme
Since nineteen-sixteen
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are dying"
Shivers.
I can't stand that song 😂
@@kendramutters2048 everyone has different tastes 😊 that song is also particularly personal to myself and family history
Wow that know the struggles over there would understand this song.
Guy in green and black can sing. Props
Might be a 90's release, but...
Faith No More is _extremely 80's_ and never stopped being.
9:30 kind of wish they explained the meaning of this song so that girl could be put in her place
She looks like she dont pay attention at all. Still negative. What about swap her? Oh Sorry, we can not, right…
One of these kids is shitting on a renowned music video Director whose made tens of millions of dollars with their talent by saying she needs advice. It’s a microcosm of their whole genre overly opinionated with no experience to back it up.
Absolutely living for Jaxon right now 😂 so passionate about Green Day 🎉
black/green guy seems like a music lover for real
Jaxons parents did a great job educating him on music.
as a gen z kid who knows and loves all these songs and artists this is just embarrassing 😭😭
this was a pain to watch. I feel like kids these days don't take music for what it is anymore, which is art.
The fact that none of them knew foo fighters hurts me
Yeah 😢
The fact that the singer of the offspring has 2 masters degrees and a PhD in molecular biology is crazy when you see their music videos. Cause the videos are all just insane. Then you remember one of the most educated men on the planet and is involved in HIV research and is in this band. He solves advanced math and biological formulas in his free time when he's not writing lyrics
The Offspring starts. Girl is "that's Eminem!" 🤣
"it's ok you need to listen to cardi b" is like the saddest thing I've heard all year 2023 im about to cry 😢😢😢😢😢
We need an entire episode of Lucas reacting to Green Day songs now, together with Jaxon for proper education.
Okay....I'm choosing to do just one rant.... PLEASE tell me that someone explained to them what Zombie is actually about? That it's not just screaming ZOMBIE in the air... Maybe that will change their tune. Okay, I'm done now. Thanks!
When we Gen Xers were kids we knew all the stuff our parents listened to, because in the car we only had THE RADIO/CASSETTE DECK (or 8 track if you are old enough) and in the house the FAMILY RADIO, so we all listened to the same stuff. Most of us 70s kids did not even have our own radio in our room. Today every one has their own personal music player and high quality headphones so we can all listen to whatever we want, even in the same room with other people. I do not like that todays kids do not know their parents music in the way that Gen Xers did know their parent music, but that is just how it is today. (I blame SONY for inventing portable music)
I mean, I’m a millennial and I know all my parents favs like Aerosmith, Blondie, Fleetwood Mac, etc. and my 7 year old knows all my favs like No Doubt and Local H and TØP. I think it’s about the way families listen to music. I love a variety of sounds so we listen to most things together. Especially in the car.
Comparing “Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)” to “Hey Mickey”?! If I shake my head any harder, my neck will snap! 😫
