There's a huge range of ages on Lush and this has been in my head for a while.
For me there's 2 songs that define my generation (I'm 26).
The 1st is Land of Confusion (either version). I'm partial to the remake by Disturbed but that's just me. This song speaks to me on so many levels and the chorus it strikes a cord in my heart every time I hear it. Just as much meaning today as when Genesis first recorded it.
The 2nd is Young by Hollywood Undead. This one I can't explain it just speaks to me. It just makes sense
This may seem silly, but one song the really sticks out when I read the topic was "Break Stuff" by Limp Bizkit. Seems my generation is big into throwing a temper tantrum if they dont get their way.
Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana)
Out of Space (The Prodigy)

What a hard post! I don't know if I could pick just one or two songs. Maybe one or two bands. Then I'd definitely have to say Pearl Jam and Nirvana. I was a teen in the 90's and grunge pretty much defined my generation.
smells like teen spirit is often associated with my generation. came out when i was in high school and introduced us to a HUGE shift in music and culture. plus, it STILL holds up.
Our Lips Are Sealed --- The Go-Go's
One by Metallica
Amen by Halestorm
Give Me Something to Believe In...... Poison
Civil War...... Guns N Roses
Sadly, the same shit is going on now, that went on in previous generations.
John Fogerty nailed it with Déjà Vu (All Over Again)
Tequila Sunrise.... and Take it Easy ... kind of a Eagles memory mood.
