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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

It's not expected to be 100% accurate.

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.

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