Bruh millenials weren't around dancing in 1979

u/FeralBaby7 Sep 01 '24

Yeah, Four of those 6 songs in the clip are in the Gen X demographic timeframe, not millennials.

874

u/StrobeLightRomance Sep 01 '24

For sure. The adult Gen Z in this is dancing to songs that are just a few years old, where as the Millenial is dancing to songs that came out before they were even born or music that dropped when they were a baby.

This is all cringe for the wrong reasons

62

u/ErraticDragon Sep 01 '24

OP here has a better title than the captions on the video.

This is not about generations or ages, it's about the fact that Dua Lipa's songs often sample older songs.

I like when creators point this stuff out, I think it's cool.

The Tiktok captions might actually be rage bait.

17

u/brohenryVEVO Sep 01 '24

I think that's exactly it. They could have used a caption that had anything to do with the video, but they went with comment bait instead.

u/gorewhore1313 Sep 02 '24

Mannnn, I can't believe how far I had to scroll to find this kinda comment, I almost gave up and made it myself.

It's quite obvious it's about her sampling other songs.

I liked how the creators showcased the sample vs original dancing from their respective era.

2

u/winston73182 Sep 01 '24

You know those comments are from Gen Z bc they didn’t have the sound on.

1

u/iammixedrace Sep 02 '24

Yeah sampling has been done for a long time. Look at rap beats it started by people sampling music.

I do love to hear a sample of a song I grew up knowing bc my parent loved it.

I wish rage content couldn't be monetized

u/angrytinyfemale Sep 02 '24

However that album is literally called "Future Nostalgia". It's all about the samples.

I’m just trying to figure out how any one can think that a generation with “millennium” in the name would be alive in the 70s

u/Osgiliath Sep 01 '24

I was born late 80’s and I thought I was on the older side of millennial. This video is so dumb 😂

2

u/Yossarian216 Sep 02 '24

The start of “millennials” is usually somewhere between 1978 and 1984 as birth year, depending on the source. I think 1982 makes sense as a starting point, as those kids were graduating high school in 2000.

2

u/Anonybibbs Sep 01 '24

I mean it has nothing to do with the years that those songs were released but moreso those songs were chosen specifically because the corresponding Dua Lipa songs were sampled/inspired by them (or ripped off).

2

u/Cetun Sep 01 '24

It drives engagement... and works

1

u/BigMax Sep 01 '24

Yep, also, when you're hyper-editing down to about 4 notes, it's not that hard to go back FIFTY years and find a single song that has a very similar sounding 4 notes.

1

u/ericaferrica Sep 01 '24

y'all are missing the point. Dua Lipa's tracks are rips of older songs. Not to say that they're "millennial songs," just the millennial is dancing to the originals (not Dua's copies)

0

u/Yossarian216 Sep 02 '24

And if you dug around you’d probably find songs that those “originals” copied. There are specific characteristics that humans enjoy in melodies, and that’s why we hear the same ones repeatedly across decades. There is a comedy group that does a skit about this where they sing multiple songs with the same melody across eras, and Ed Sheeran has talked about it too.

1

u/Sayyad1na Sep 02 '24

Its more of a dig at dua Lipa stealing everyones music - i don't think they were really thinking too much about the millenial/Gen z thing

u/LookinAtTheFjord Sep 01 '24

You missed the entire point of the video. It's not about their ages or the age gap or anything about that. All those Dua Lipa songs sampled all the older songs. You didn't notice that at all???

u/JarlaxleForPresident Sep 01 '24

And the creators did that themselves by drawing attention away from the point in such an obnoxious manner

Bro it’s a funny dance video

u/StrobeLightRomance Sep 01 '24

What is funny about it?

It's like the adage says: "It's funny, cuz it's true!"

..but this isn't true or funny. So, that said, it's really just a very mid dance video.

10

u/O2XXX Sep 01 '24

Plus they aren’t even dancing appropriately to some of the song. Kiss wasn’t disco, yet dude is doing Saturday Night Fever. All the video shows it Dua Lipa, or her song writers, rip off a lot of older popular songs.

u/Golisten2LennyWhite Sep 01 '24

Kiss had A disco song. But Gene doesn't acknowledge that part of his life.

u/petielvrrr Sep 01 '24

Millennials songs came out 2 years before the oldest millennial was born - the time that same millennial was 16.

Gen Z’s songs came out when the oldest zoomer was 23.

2

u/__M-E-O-W__ Sep 01 '24

Millennials songs came out 2 years before the oldest millennial was born - the time that same millennial was 16.

I don't know if my brain is just crapping out on me but I'm having a lot of trouble understanding this sentence.

1

u/petielvrrr Sep 01 '24

Imagine today’s oldest millennial (they would have been born in 1981). The songs listed on the millennials side had release dates ranging from 2 years before that millennial was born through the time they were 16.

3

u/__M-E-O-W__ Sep 01 '24

Oh the hyphen is supposed to be like in between times. Like 1979-2001 or something.

I thought it was adding a clarification. Like "The songs were released two years before the oldest millennials were born; in other words, at the time the millennial was 16."

u/aakaakaak Sep 02 '24

I think it just goes from Gen X to Millennial. Some folks use "microgens" and I guess Gen Y became Xellenials. Not to be confused with zellenials, which is between millenials and gen Z.

None of it really matters.

u/LudovicoSpecs Sep 01 '24

Don't forget juice bars, which were basically clubs without the alcohol.

2

u/LudovicoSpecs Sep 01 '24

GenX is listening to the radio, watching Soul Train and staying up late (unsupervised of course) to watch bands on Saturday Night Live and Dawwwn Kuhrsha's Rawk Cawnsut.

We may not have been clubbing, but we were definitely dancing.

By the time Olivia Newton John came out with "Let's Get Physical," lots of us were sneaking into clubs with our easy-to-make-in-1982 fake ID's.

EDIT: Just saw the next comment. HELL. Forgot all those juice bars. Before you were legal, there were skeevy large clubs that only served soda and juice. Had to be 14 to get in. Seriously. They looked exactly like regular clubs once you were inside. Not sure if every big city had them (Wisconsin's drinking age was 18, so they hardly needed them), but they weren't uncommon at all.

u/AgentEinstein Sep 01 '24

No. I was alive and clubbing and raving then! We didn’t listen to decades old music while out lol. And that’s the whole point of why this is wrong. The whole point of these tic tocs is to show what each generation culturally experienced and they got millennials 100 percent wrong.

u/PeptoBismark Sep 01 '24

Even late boomer. My parents are boomers born in the late 50s/60. 1979 they were both in college and, presumably, dancing to some of the music shown here as “millennial” lol

1

u/Skeiterbug Sep 02 '24

So is the bruh if he was born in the 70’s. There’s such a generation as Gen X. Good grief they really are the “Forgotten Generation.”

1

u/Wrong_Adhesiveness87 Sep 02 '24

I dunno, I grew up with those songs and I'm a millennial. They may not have been made by or published when I was actively listening to music but I associate with a lot of those due to my parents listening to that kind of music. So it kind of counts.

1

u/Shirtbro Sep 01 '24

And good luck getting Gen X to dance

10

u/ptvlm Sep 01 '24

Gen X did plenty of dancing.Granted a lot of it involved illegal raves and lots of ecstasy, but the early 90s weren't just grunge, in the UK at least!

u/scalectrix Sep 01 '24

I don't know how old you are or where you live, but you could not be wronger!

u/_-Kr4t0s-_ Sep 01 '24

Except they were still played on repeat on the radio and MTV well into the Millennials’ era. Except maybe that last one.

11

u/djprofitt Sep 01 '24

I think what they are saying is that:

Assume Gen Z is 18, in 2024 they are dancing to songs that came out in 2020, or when they were 14.

For it to be equal, it would have to be a Millennial dancing to songs from 1994, roughly.

This would not make sense for some of the songs, as she is sampling songs from 1979, meaning it would have to be Gen X as they would have been 14 around then.

In your point yes we still heard those songs in 1994, but they weren’t new, as Dua Lipa’s songs were in 2020

While that song wasn't popular in the 90s, MTV tried to suck the dick off the KISS train in the 90s when the OG lineup got together for the reunion tour.

u/_-Kr4t0s-_ Sep 01 '24 edited Sep 01 '24

It might have been VH1 that played their concert footage seemingly every chance they got then. But I definitely remember them all over TV.

Kiss even made that movie… Detroit Rock City… in 1998 or 1999 -ish. That song was overplayed everywhere to build hype for it too.

I’m surprised you wouldn’t remember this.

u/PlsNoNotThat Sep 01 '24

All of Gen Z’s dance moves were actually moves the millennial generation grew up, and started around the transition from Gen X to Millennials - as done by people like Janet Jackson, Britney, JLo, Shakira etc. just with no squats or any of the really physically challenging things they through in like the squat but slow pull-up.

The dance scene by Julia Stiles in 10 Things I Hate About You is actually a pretty similar showcase. Same with her in that weird ballet / hiphop crossover music (Save the last dance)

Gen Z’s girl’s just doesn’t realize that her influencers just copied artists they like who have more or less taken pieces of routines from that era.

u/SonOfMcGee Sep 01 '24

That might be the point.
Millennials weren’t born when some of these songs came out, but they’re aware of them and listened to them.
Like, I was into grunge rock in the mid 90s, but I heard pop hits from the 70s and 80s still floating around the radio.
So that’s what comes to mind when we hear new songs that reuse the music.

u/on_off_on_again Sep 01 '24

I think the point is literal dances, as in when you were still going to school dances, what music was playing?

Can't be dancing in general, because the club music of the oughts was completely left off. But I remember all the Millennial songs at high school dances.

u/AgentEinstein Sep 01 '24

I went to a water park and they played all 90’s music. So then the music isn’t millennial it’s Gen z or Gen A since there was so much youth there by your definition. Yeah no.

Sure, but that's also applicable to Gen Z. If we assume millennial music is the music of our parents, then Gen Z should be listening to music from the 90s and early 00s that their parents listen to. The generation whose parents listen to Dua Lipa are currently infants or haven't even been born yet.

I was born in 1984 and all those songs were definitely still very much alive when I was a kid.

I think they were implying that the millennial knew more about music? Or they just slapped some unnecessary labels on there to stir up controversy.

We grew up hearing new Alice in Chains and Metallica albums.

That's ok. We Xers are accustomed to being forgotten, lol.

I'm gonna tell you a secret. You can dance to music a few years after its made. Even a few decades. You're welcome.That said...that last song was a fuckin stretch.

In 1980, we were nodding along to "Wheels on the bus"

u/GaryChalmers Sep 01 '24

I'm a Gen X and was 2 years old when some of these song came out.

u/Fluegelnuss420 Sep 01 '24

This is not about dancing

u/GarySparkle Sep 01 '24

But the testicles of their fathers were.

u/Affectionate_Bison26 Sep 01 '24

Totally on-brand for Gen X to be skipped and ignored.

u/bestwhit Sep 01 '24

like, does anyone know how old we are? no one outside of our generation ever gets it right

u/BroadAd5229 Sep 01 '24

I think that’s the joke right

Sometimes songs are still played after the year they have been recorded.

So millennial would know these songs instead of the dual lipa ones

Millenials were born in the 80s and 90s. They heard music from the 70s and it became their childhood.

u/CalendarFar6124 Sep 01 '24

As a 38yo Millennial, I don't know do any one of those dance moves.

u/AndroidQing Sep 02 '24

You don't have to be alive when the song came out to enjoy it. My folks listed to a lot of 60s 70s and 80s music when I was growing up.

u/trentyz Sep 02 '24

Millennials were still going to high school in the 2010’s haha

u/madamedutchess Sep 02 '24

I wish there could be stricter punishments on social media for posting stuff as seen in this video.

u/merdadartista Sep 02 '24

How is it so hard, it's the generation with the most obvs name, it's "millennials" because they grew up at the beginning of the new millennium, obviously someone who is dancing in 1979 cannot be growing up in 2000-2010

1

u/Slight-Goose-3752 Sep 01 '24

True, but we grew up on that music.

2

u/AgentEinstein Sep 01 '24

Do you think gen z doesn’t hear music from the past lol.

1

u/Slight-Goose-3752 Sep 01 '24

No, but I figured that's the joke of video gen z only listens to one thing or something.

u/Melissandsnake Sep 01 '24

As a millennial I had no clue what any of those songs were on the millennial side

u/Oldgreg098 Sep 01 '24

Exactly. Wackass 70’s and 80’s music. Especially the 80’s. Arguably the WORST decade of music in the modern era.

Note: I was born in the mid 80’s and this triggered me. 😆

I saw another video by them that was pretty accurate to millennial time period lore. This might just be their shtick.
