One time my buddy and I were playing CoD zombies and we got a kid as a team mate. We asked him what music he liked and he said "classic rock". We asked what bands he said "Nirvana". That's when I knew the specter of death was looming over me.

The Beatles are my favorite 90s hip-hop group.

The kid that knows all the songs, we all know it's because he grew up singing them with his mom. And I think it's kind of cute.

“Is this RHCP?” thats an even bigger burn than that child knows 😂

Next up: Gen X know NOTHING about 50's Bebop.

Finny boy really dropping the "im a dad" bomb at every opportunity and it's ADORABLE! Congrats daddio!

I was born in '96 and grew up on 80s music my mom loved. In my teens I started rejecting it cause I only listened to metal. But then I fell back in love with it when my taste matured in my 20s.

Lucas is one of those kids that takes years to accept you as his mother's new husband

Jaxson nailed it when he said "it's something you hear in passing" that statement covers the entire foo fighters catalog

My oldest(10) came up to me the other day and asked “have u heard of the band whitechapel?” He had found my old Ipod and I could not of been prouder

I would like a "teenage metalheads reacts to 90's metal songs". At the same time, maybe in the sub culture they already heard most of those songs. Do they do that now? I remember when I was 15 years old; around 2004, It was "mandatory" to know the big old bands that initiated the genre.

As a Gen Z myself, we are greatly misrepresented in these videos, I swear these companies must be in big cities where they choose the absolute dumbest possible kids for videos

I love The Offspring, but "Pretty Fly" was a tragedy

I’d say Pear Jam is more dad rock than Foo Fighters 🚬

The fact that these kids knew most of the songs is testament to the songwriting. Only bangers.

“These day you become a they/them to rebel we used to wear all black and have spikey hair”

Hearing you talk about Faith No More being corny gave me a video idea(s) for you: Great songs that were ruined by the video. Bad songs that are acceptable due to a great video.

It seems Finn is mixing up pure negativity with being picky.

My favorite part of the epic music video by faith no more is that mike Paton is wearing a mr.bungle shirt.

As a GenX dad I have zero expectations that my kids know the music I listened to growing up. I couldn’t have been any good at this with my dad’s 50s music so why would I be offended that they don’t know my music.

Love seeing you bring up being a dad now. Big congrats on becoming a father Finn. It's awesome seeing you so proud and stoked about it.

Ah the 90s when every big movie also had to have a big song.

I'm Generation X, and I know and love a wide variety of music from numerous eras. I go from some classical music, swing jazz, 50s rock and roll, classic heavy metal and thrash, late 70s to mid 80s pop and rock, 80s and early 90s country, and traditional gospel hymns.

I got to see Taylor play drum with Alanis back in the 90's. He was the best part of the show.

I rebel against the older generation by embracing all the music they thought was cringe while they were in highschool.

Foo Fighters first 2 albums (3rd to a lesser degree) were part of the soundtrack of my mid teen years. I had just picked up the guitar a couple years prior and FF songs taught me a LOT of technique.

I'm a Gen'Zer. (Born in 2000). My parents are both Gen X. Growing up, I was pretty sheltered from anything that was trending. The only music I seemed to know was 90s music for majority of my childhood. I was into bands like Nirvana, Green Day, The Flaming Lips, They Might Be Giants, just a ton of bands from the grunge era. Even my friends listened to 90s rap. I was pretty sheltered given I never even really watched TV much. I never really knew of anything trending until my younger sister got older and would always look up newer artists on KZfaq. I had NO idea who justin bieber was when he was first getting popular. I first heard his name from my parents talking about him. After finding out about who all of these newer 2010s "artists" were, I still couldn't manage to get into any of them. I HAVE discovered many new artists along the way. But their styles are STILL within the boundaries of 90s grunge/indie/alternative. All independent artists too. 😂 The rattling hi-hats of trap music hurt my ears, and the pop music just isn't gritty enough for me. I'll forever remain a 90s head I guess. I just can't seem to get into anything people my age like. I have it a chance for a bit. It didn't last. 😢😅

Dissing Epic by Faith No More is a sin. Shocked Finn does not care for FNM. They are iconic and heavily influential to many current bands today.

Omg Roxette was so loved in South Africa. Such iconic school dance songs. The Swedes produced some prime pop groups.

Dude "Camera Joe" totally sounds like an early 90s band hahaha

so I'm at a Social D show at the Hollywood Palladium abt 10 yrs ago & the mosh pit is going around & around and this kid crashes into me & my gf, and he gets his elbows up and he looks up at me, and he goes "oh, excuse me sir' .. damn I'm old

I can't hear Kiss From A Rose without thinking of Jack Black singing it on American Idol

Brings a smile to my face every day when my daughter tells me to turn of my 90s music. I loved this video it made laugh a lot.

“This sounds like it’s on my dad’s playlist” 😂😭 ain’t that the truth. My dad has Korn, slipknot, disturbed, ffdp, beastie boys, ratm, staind, pantera, powerman 5000, rob/white zombie and many many more on his playlist so this is beyond accurate. I also made my own playlist of rock/metal with some 90s/2000s rap in it also

Justifying not knowing a song because it was release before you born is a weak argument. I was born in the late 80s and pretty much everyone in my generation is aware of songs by The Beatles, The Who, The Stones, ABBA etc etc.

"Look at that Final Fantasy hair" That killed me man. So on point.

"What is this, Garbage?" Oh jeez, just imagining the amount of people who don't know Garbage was a band. 😂

20:45 Kiss from a Rose is a great tune... Just ask Rick Beato!

Dawg, Sabotage is built on one of the sickest bass riffs ever created!

Alanis Morrisette started her career as a child actress who appeared on Nick on the tv show You Can't Do That On Television in the 80s. And yes, she got slimmed in the show. To be fair, many of these songs are still being played on the radio along side with the newer ones. When Dolores of The Cranberries died, and Marie from Roxette died? Their songs were played in tribute on so many stations including newer stuff. As for Foo Fighters, The Cranberries, Goo Goo Dolls and the likes? they are still being played on the rock stations today including their newer stuff. Of course Zombie was covered that was a massive hit recently as well. As for the 90s? Even country artists was being played along with MC Hammer, Envogue, Whitney Houston, Faith No More, Def Leppard and all of them. The top 40 radio stations was meant to be like for the mainstream charts was going back to the way it used to be in the late 40s to 1982 when country songs were representative. Garth Brooks's several songs, Mary Chapin Carpenter's Passionate Kisses, Faith Hill's This Kiss, Vince Gill, Smokin' Armadillos, Billy Ray Cyrus Achy Breaky Heart, Little Texas's Go Bless Texas, Restless Heart, Blackhawk's Every Once In Awhile, Lonestar's Amazed, etc. I wish the the mainstream top 40 pop charts go back and be more representative today than they are back then.

Zombie by the Cranberries is huge in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It's still one of the most famous foreign rock songs here. I can't explain why.

Putting Jaxon and Lucas together was such a funny move

There's only three ways you know kiss from a rose nowadays. Either you had a family member show you the song, the episode of iasip the gang fights for the troops, or you heard Dan avidan sing it. There's no other option

I'm at that age where the shit i grew up with is played at the supermarket... excuse me, my hip just broke

Speaking as a decade younger gen y dad, Finn's need to inspire the next generation with their own rebellious musical interests is top tier dad goals and I can't wait to carry that spirit forward

Love Finn's sarcasm lol

Super funny commentary, makes the video worth watching. Thanks Finn

Bad Wolves covered Zombie by the Cranberries a few years ago. I could understand them knowing it from that.

Did you know, that Tony Hawk landed a 900 in a contest in 1999? It was the x-games and I watched that in its entirety! I was 5 years old

I love your channel, just discovered it, and I’ve been watching non stop. And I’m just now realizing you were in the beginning of that Magnolia Park video. Very cool! Keep up the great work, as a metal fan, I appreciate how much you have taught me!

If you go to any jobsite in America there’s a 60% chance you’ll hear Zombie atleast once

The 90s flashback is turning into a iconic singer of a talented and popular musician

Not sure if it was mentioned, but Zombie was a massive cover from Bad Wolves. It was Octane's song of the year whenever it came out, so it was kind of everywhere. Probably why the kids know it.

Finn you saying why is it on a Batman soundtrack is something I’ve been asking myself for years it haunts me. However the obscurity of that makes the song way better

The first home phone I remember having in our house was a rotary phone that my parents leased from Southwestern Bell and never returned. It was heavy enough to be considered a deadly weapon if wielded correctly.

Our local "Alternative" radio station still plays these songs daily.

Lucas is one of those kids whose playlist looks like Taylor Swift Taylor Swift Taylor Swift Taylor Swift Cardi B Taylor Swift Taylor Swift Taylor Swift Taylor Swift

Wow are Gen Z now that old that they call 90’s music their parents music?, my word. As a Millennial my parents are Boomers who grew up with 70’s music.

The fact that they all hated offspring gives me hope for gen z.

"don't ever do that Jackson. that's bad." Lucas is a great one...

I did not even know that was a Foo Fighters song until yesterday.

I didn't know that Roxette song, and it came out 2 days after I was born. I'm so ashamed.

Best thing about "Everlong" is that the music is universal

I think an interesting thing to see on this video is how much more well-known and influential pop, R&B, and Hip-Hop artists from that time are than Rock artists. When I was a teenager in 2003, I was mildly familiar with Kiss from a Rose, but I would have known the rock songs right away. But these kids who were born around then know Missy Elliot or Seal, and don't know the Foo Fighters or Faith No More.

I think because of how music is consumed these days, kids aren’t going to be as knowledgable of older music before their time. When I was growing up in my younger childhood in the 90s, I had listened to a lot of music from the 70s and whatnot as that’s what was around when listening to the radio. That isn’t how music is consumed anymore. It’s now hyper focused into people only listening to specific things and not branching out, not by choice, to other music to be exposed to. Moving forward I think it will continue get worse with how narrow scopes of music consumed will be. That happens with movies I have noticed in regards to younger people today. We used to be subjected to whatever was on radio or tv. No more.

lucas and jackson are doing the classic "good cop bad cop"

Finn: "do kids even know how to use a rotary phone?" Brother I'm 30 and I don't know how to use that shit

We were born the same year man great vid!

As a geriatric millenial, I love Everlong. Dad rock it may be now, but it's timeless. I'm so old. I never liked Pretty Fly even when it was new. It put me off Offspring ever since. Smash is great, fantastic really, but it was downhill for them after that aside from a few alright songs. The final fantasy hair comment was good, I enjoyed that.

The one artifact “90s teens” today don’t have that we actual 90s kids had back then was our collections of ‘Pogs and Slammers’ such a fun game/hobby that no one ever played, still recall my favorite ones 😂😊

"it's called Punk. Respect your Elders..." Oh Snap ! Foo Fighters : they still are dope. Taylor Hawkins, R.I.P. "A Thousand Miles" by Alanis Morisette. (Vanessa Carlton)

Tears for Fears was one of the best groups of the '90s

The 90s were so big that it required a fisheye lens to take it all in!!!

Dude said ‘look at this Final Fantasy hair’ 😂😂😂

I think Finn mentioned being a gen X dad about half dozen times 😅 Someone’s stoked about being a new dad. Congrats Finn! Hope to join the fatherhood tribe myself soon.

"That would be like me liking a Fleetwood Mac song from 1971". As someone who's favorite music year is 1971, I feel personally attacked.

Knowing you are from Snohomish, the skating behind 7-11 comment was real. Avenue D, man.

Priest: do you take this woman to be your wife? The groom: I - Lucas: nah, not feeling it

Damn Finn's content is top tier. I think FInn is becoming my favorite KZfaqr lol.

Finn devilishly smiling at kids roasting 90s music is the best

I love Jacksons enthusiasm

It's a good thing the Gen Z kids weren't shown the "Black Hole Sun" music video from Soundgarden. They probably wouldn't sleep for weeks.

"no, jackson the nostalgia can't come back because you weren't alive when these songs came out" 💀

Jackson is actually 40 years old and is playing a teen.

I rebeled againts my parents love of country but i think eventually you come back around. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug

Lucas is that one annoying nephew you want to slap but cant

I don’t know why, but that Roxette song was on my dad’s early 90s Christmas compilation CD. He’d play it from to back every Christmas

18:54 no, see, now that this is the rule, how we rebel IS precisely by loving all the old stuff. inb4 "that, like almost everything he says in these videos, is satire"

when cranberries first came on i was thinking it was rem 'losing my religion'

Gen Z knows nothing about ANYTHING unless its on TikTok.

16:14 “I have faith” *while listening to Faith No More 😏

im sad there was no smashing pumpkins

I’m from gen Z and my favorite bands are Metallica, Green Day, and Def Leppard. I also don’t mind heavy bands like Slipknot, Ice Nine Kills, and even Cannibal Corpse. While I listen to that, all my friends listen to Reggaeton, rap, and pop.

FOO FIGHTERS FUCKING ROCKS 🎸🤘

Jaxon likes rock from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Great taste, I have hope for this generation.

90s? Motorhead, Motley Crue, and Monster Magnet. Everything else was flaccid.

I love both generations of music

I watch and listen to old stuff before I was born for historic perspective. And a lot good, you can’t tell me u don’t know that.

Fun fact when I brought my house in 2011 I found one of these telefons with that dial disc on the floor in one room. Later while renovating I found also the 🪦of the last owners mothers in the basement😂😂
