'Dégénération' - Quebecois Traditionalist Song

[thegatorhator]

It's so depressing when your parents DID sell the family farm of several generations and all you want is it back.

[zacharyfilion]

it's crazy because I'm from Quebec and my great great grandmother actually did have 14 kids

[ionshiese]

"you were an accident" Best song ever



edit: wow cant believe 2 years have passed. Well, only thing i want to say is, being an accident or not, nothing is going to change, we are alive already. Thank god everyday for it and pray for the glory of those who are with the almighty, may god bless your souls y'all ❤

I love how this song basically says "go outside, touch grass, have fun, and do something" and it's actually kinda inspiring.

[dimmadometv]

This song has more of a traditionalist message

Edit: for those wondering, ingen originally titled it an 'anprim song'

[lobby]

France has the best revolutionary songs
Quebec has the best reactionary ones

[uberfeel]

This song literally roasted the whole modern era.

[ebinboiz]

This hits close to home. My ancestors owned the same farm in my favorite part of Finland for 400 years until my grandparents sold it and moved to the city.

[muti]

Mood everyday: D E G E N E R A T I O N

[arisk]

This is arguably one of those songs that hit way too close at home

[Karys-_-]

✓ meaningful message
✓ good rhythm
✓ enjoyable to listen

[elysanaya]

This song isn't just a normal reactionary song, about how modernity sucks, and how the past was better. It's about legacy and generational prosperity. The point isn't land, it's about how your ancestors have worked for generations to build and improve something, before giving it to their children. Then a callous generation (the parents), sold off that legacy to live well in their own lifetime, leaving nothing for their children. Choosing not to have kids to have more fun, leaving behind nothing for society or their family.

The song is about being brave enough to take the first step your ancestors took so long ago to build a real legacy, something worth leaving behind, and not being shortsighted like the previous generation, and leave nothing for the future.

The moral of the story: T O U C H G R A S S

[ευθυμηξερωπουμενειςκαισεγαμω]

Best anti-boomer song ever. Those that are referring to this song as a boomer song clearly didn't get the memo. It doesn't really blame the young generation as much as the one that raised it.

[akifnobody]

This hit home very unexpectedly, my great grandfather, brought up huge amounts of land, my grandfather, despite being ravaged by war and illnesses, never sold out his property, and my father, moved to the city and became a civil servant, now I;'m here in my bedroom with no clear vision of the future.

[americanpride]

I have never heard a foreign song that connected with me on such a deep and primal level.

[polignac]

As a French Louisianan, i am glad our québécois cousins still have their culture to share with others. Ours is all but wiped out.

[i.k.]

>21st century women time travels to 19th century
>meets her great great grandmother
>obseves her washing clothes, hangin them to dry, starting cooking fires, caring for children
>You know in the future, there are machines that do all this work, and the kids go to public schooling?
>What do all the women do with all that free time?
>They work, of course.
>Wow, with two people working everyone must be so rich! How much land does our family own now?
>Well, we rent a two bedroom apartment.

[CelestialCaesar]

If you're a student from the 2050s and stumbled upon this song while doing some research or just to have some background music; yes, people used to actually own their own land. Good luck.

This is actually a unbelievable good song with a true text.
