“Generation Why” by Conan Gray is a captivating song that takes a deep dive into the psyche of the youth. Released in 2018, the song offers a poignant commentary on the sense of ennui and disillusionment often associated with younger generations.
In the song, the main characters are portrayed as feeling unimportant in their town and persistently fantasizing about grander dreams without actively pursuing them. They repeatedly find themselves in trouble as a means of escaping the drudgery of their lives. Reflecting a profound sense of nihilism, the characters perceive themselves as part of a generation that is worthless and burdened with an excess of time. Instead of attempting to change their circumstances, they resign themselves to their current state, underlining a pervasive sense of apathy and resignation.
