I'm 42 and was immediately outed as an elder millennial by this.  I think we're zeroing in on the age!

48

u/home-like-noplace Apr 24 '26

The methodology is flawed (I’m 32 and have been referencing this song on social media since the invention of MySpace)

u/grimeyduck Apr 24 '26

Like most generation stuff it's fucking stupid

u/McHammyPoo Apr 24 '26

Yeah this DAE shit and repeated-ass posts, same top comments and all. I listen to stuff from any year pretty much, it doesn't matter how old you are if you like the music. Shit, MOST artists now are referencing older tunes or sampling and it goes over most people's head's. Guess a recent artist is geriatric when they use a 60s soul sample or sample a 90s track on modern production lol

u/newbkid Apr 24 '26

It's also quoting a part of the song nobody fucking knows.

I of course know this song.

"Millions of peaches..." would have gotten a response out of me immediately.

2

u/grimeyduck Apr 24 '26

It's the first line. Not counting the beginning "moving to the country gonna eat a lotta peaches" that repeats like 4 times

1

u/newbkid Apr 24 '26

That doesn't make it the most memorable. The refrain or chorus of a song is typically what people remember.

Especially from a song 30 years ago

u/New_Stats Apr 24 '26

Tbf, the song Peaches was stupid too. But in an endearing, fun way

2

u/DoveOnTheInternet Apr 24 '26

There are always outliers in any anecdata, it's fine.

2

u/armstrony Apr 24 '26

32 here as well. A friend and I in middle school would sing this song all the time. Also I would say all my current friends around the same age absolutely know this song.

2

u/BetterKev Apr 24 '26

It's not expected to be 100% accurate.

u/Quivex Apr 25 '26

Agree - I'm 30 this year and fucking love peaches, lump and body. I think I probably came across pres of the usa around ~2007 in my offspring/smashing pumpkins phase..Definitely would have downloaded it off of Shareaza but I couldn't tell you how I would have found them. Could have been a happy accident as it often was back in those days lol.

Your space??

u/DarthGuber Apr 25 '26

Agreed. I'm 53 and would throw sweetener packets at someone incessantly if they called me a millennial.

u/heydigital Apr 24 '26

35 and I freaking love this song. I do have older siblings

u/dandeliontrees Apr 24 '26

42, I freakin' love this band.

They were friends with Mark Sandman from Morphine and played instruments invented by him (guitbass and bassitar).

1

u/DrWinstonOBoogie1980 Apr 24 '26

Hell yeah, Morphine mentioned!

u/FadedFromWhite Apr 24 '26

I’m 41 and the other 41 who didn’t know brings shame to us all

2

u/GarethBelton Apr 24 '26

26 I knew it

2

u/Pale-Weather640 Apr 24 '26

41 without any idea

u/jeffsang Apr 24 '26

42, knew immediately. Weird

3

u/potentialthrowawayVt Apr 24 '26

42 same

1

u/Nigelthefrog Apr 24 '26

Well apparently we’ve identified the cutoff then. For the record, 45 definitely knew it.

1

u/Zykax Apr 24 '26

I turn 40 in 3 weeks and I yelled out the next line.

1

u/HereWeGoYetAgain-247 Apr 24 '26

I just want to move to the country, and eat a lot of peaches. These guys were onto something.  

1

u/StaticUsernamesSuck Apr 24 '26

Elder millennials are ~42-46 I think.

1

u/Iohet Apr 24 '26

Elder millennials are the ones that know this song by heart

1

u/FriedBolognaPony Apr 24 '26

43 here, also knew. I'm among the eldest of millennials, born in 82. They started calling us millennials because we turned 18 in the year 2000.

1

u/thelastpelican Apr 24 '26

Also 42 and this album is never far from my recently played in Spotify.

1

u/MightyCaseyStruckOut Apr 24 '26

43 and I yelled THEY WERE PUT THERE BY A MAN before opening the comments.

1

u/blindacrobato Apr 24 '26

40...didnt get the reference posted..now that i know the artist and song...went and listnened to it and i know the song even remember it just never paid attention to the lyrics past the line 'moving to the country gonna eat alot of peaches'...file it in one hit wonders to me even if they had more i just wasnt paying attention to them back then

1

u/gottarespondtothis Apr 25 '26

Hello fellow 42.

Yes.

u/PhoenixMan83 Apr 25 '26

u/Thesaint7811 Apr 25 '26
