About

"Le Wrong Generation" is a pejorative label used to refer to youths and young adults who believe and often proclaim that they should have been born in a different time period, mainly due to their disdain for contemporary music and popular culture.

Origin

The earliest known use of the term "le wrong generation" was posted on March 2nd, 2013 in a thread on 4chan's /mu/ [6] (music) board in reference to a YouTube video of a child complaining about being born in the wrong generation. The video has since been removed.

Spread

On August 15th, 2013, the /r/lewronggeneration[1] subreddit was launched to satirize teens and children who wish they had been born in a different time period. On November 8th, the /r/lerightgeneration[10] subreddit was created for discussions about "senseless hatred of older pop culture." On January 15th, 2014, 9gag[7] user Tobiasaasen submitted a Confession Bear image macro with the caption "Im born in 1997 / and I hate my generation" (shown below). On August 13th, a screenshot of the 9gag post was submitted to /r/lewronggeneration,[8] where it gained over 1,300 votes (93% upvoted) and 180 comments in the following four months.

"Defener"

A "defener" (an intentional misspelling of "defenders") refers to people that consider old culture superior to current pop culture and belittle anything current.

"Dadrock" refers to classic rock music produced in the 1960's and 1970's, including Led Zepplin, the Rolling Stones and Beatles, which is commonly associated with baby boomer generation adults who have a disdain for all other types of music.

Only a REAL 1340s BC kid would remember harp harmonies played by troupes of Canaanite slaves. Like this if you think that our generation doesn't know what REAL music is and listens to way too much pop and rap (more like Crap amirite?)!!
