Жыл бұрынI thought about this song a lot when I was younger. All these important people and events- some that disappeared into the sands of time- others that changed the world forever. So much has happened in the span of the last 34 years- we felt like a little system update might be fun. Hope you like our take on it…

As a millennial the first song's theme never really 'clicked'. I understood the concept - the world keeps turning despite the whole world feeling like it's engulfed in fire, but that's just the way the world is, generation after generation, we didn't start it, and neither did our parents generation. But it wasn't until right now, today, that this song hit me in a way that the original never could. I lived through all but a few of these. These are childhood memories, things that are engrained in my memories as watching it happen live. My Homeroom teacher came into the library one day in middle school and abruptly announced "We've just been attacked" and immediately pulled out the TV and turned on the news. I watched the second plane hit live from my middle school library, Ender's Game in my lap. I grew up watching Captain Planet, and SpongeBob, and Jordan play for the Bulls, and listening to Jackson stun the world with his pop music. This summed up the world around my life. And it hits, hard. Because it's been a sh*tshow for most of the time. And it provided a sense of peace and hope in thr future to know that the world's always been on fire like this. This isn't new. And life goes on. I hope Gen Z / Gen Alpha get their own version in a couple of decades. Because you can't truly feel this song until it echoes your existence.

90s gen and younger will remember the world being stacked against us, economy's unliveable unless you make or break above the cost of living (wherever you are). The government/corpo scene works actively to divide the people for their own profits. Education has failed us, politically right is more important than factual right. People are too sensitive with "its your with us or against" leading to witch hunts. Tolerance weakened people, women asking for equal rights but not equal responsibilities and end up favored more, being born a man in this times is a struggle. Then there's the looming threat if we get to live a normal life tomorrow because the lunatics with power has some nasty toys that broke Tokyo and Nagasaki.

Honestly, this overlaps with a lot of the gen Z experience, too. 9/11 certainly was before my time per se, but hearing of the news of a full on insurrection, or the extension of 2020 spring break for a long time before we moved to online, or so many other things have hit that same way.

I was young for 9/11 - still in preschool - but I remember the terror. Not understanding why my mom kept telling me to watch the skies or why she seemed so concerned with the plane hitting that building. I remember the Boston Bombing; a friend from overseas started spamming my phone because he wasn't sure how far Boston was from Long Island or how large the explosion was. I might be on the older side of gen z, but most of this was my lived experience. And it hits.

WHY AM I JUST HEARING ABOUT THIS SONG *NINE* MONTHS LATER?! This song encapsulates what’s going through my mind. The wrong, the trending, the entertainment of the world. Some seen and some not. How me and others are trying to fix the spreading fire around the world. War in Afghanistan, bombs in Lebanon, but on the parallel iron man, and aliens. “What else do I have to say?” really hits too. What else do u have to say? The world is burning and we’re watching it happen, while some are trying to stop it. (this is super long but I’m going to listen to this song for eternity now, and the old one too. And yeah, no chronological order is a bit of a pet peeve, but the song is still great.)

Is it worth going out there and making a difference when that difference may have an impact on someone else? Doing nothing and not changing anything establishes consistency and less confusion. At the individual level it’s hard to accomplish anything these days. It seems to be necessary to victimize oneself to gain a group of blind supporters/followers to make anything happen. “Damned if you do and damned if you don’t”. I’m sure you’re familiar with that phrase.

LOL I'm old enough to know that they said someone got bit by a monkey which they said started AIDS now we all know that wasn't true. Some history always repeats itself over and over but because people are ignorant and think they know everything they don't realize we've already been through all this before they're just calling it something different this time

Okay, first of all: the song is a banger. It continues the tradition of the original to highlight the absolut madness of important events and their consequences for humanity by simply naming them and as such having the audience take a look at said event. And dear lord, the past 30 years were no walk in the park. But unfortunatly a piece of the puzzle was thrown out in this version: the chronology. The original worked so well because it was basically the song version of a history book, allowing the reader to immediatly get a grasp on the past due to being chronological. This version instead jumps in time, either to get the verses to rhyme or in the attempt to focus on the important stuff. Does it work? No, not really. Because the importance of a historic event is not a subjective meassuement, but rather objective. As such this song is more of a commentary by the band rather than a "sequel" to the original, which is more on the objective side, giving the audience the abillity and duty to do some thinking on their own, yet not presenting personal opinions as a fact. In conclusion: the song is good and deserves praise for the artistic idea. But trying to tie it to the originalor presenting it as a sequel is not really appropriate for the lack of the element of objective and causal events in history. 9 out of 15 points (C+).

I think that is completely irrelevant. They had a definitive time frame and a huge list of events and milestones then they had to put them all together to make them sound good. I think they were brilliant. If they had to follow a time line they wouldn't be able to follow themes or group like events, ie- Prince and the queen died or MJ 23 blah blah blah MJ 45... I think they were smart grouping clusters rather than a linear time-line. I think that would've ruined it.

@@markweiher7619 I both agree and disagree on 1 hand if it went in order like the original then future listeners can draw a line from point A to B in terms of when these events happened making it more of a time capsule in song form, on the other the randomness kinda fits for the current era we are in, so much has happened to quickly, its hard to keep track of what happened when, in that sense its more of a representation of how we felt about how the past 30ish years flew by and just how chaotic it all was

The song also sounds just way more chaotic with how everything is un-chronological, especially with the line of "we didn't light it but we're trying to fight it". Everything is so chaotic and us as a collective is trying to fight against the chaos, despite that, we can't, the fire still burns.

THIS SONG SLAYS chronological order wouldve been nice but i also think the fact its not adds to the song and kinda just shows the chaos of the world

Thank you for pointing that out. I wanted chronological order like the original, but I didn't even think of it like this. You're absolutely right.

A lot of people are complaing about chronological order but they are trying to rhyme it and make a good song so yes thanks for pointing that out

@@aidenlee-zv7foplus I think it really points to how events affect how things turn out in the future, so everything happening presently can be pointed to from the past

I do like the song. But the chronological order is what set the original apart. It was literally a history lesson put to music. This song will confuse anyone who isn't aware of the timeline in which these names and events were relevant. Now, it's just another catchy song, and not anything close to what the original was, in terms of significance. The message has been lost.
