Content


It contains lyrical references to the songs "My Generation" by the Who, "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses and "Move Over" by the Spice Girls, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Titanic and Macromedia's Shockwave Flash plugin. Musically, the song displays the interplay between guitarist Wes Borland and drummer John Otto as the two's musical parts are tightly intertwined in a similar way to how the bass and drums intertwine in Primus, who have influenced Limp Bizkit and toured with them.[3]


Music video


The music video for "My Generation" shows Limp Bizkit performing live on an acrylic glass stage, while other scenes show their fans being rebellious outside the Astrodome. During the breakdown of the song, each band member is shown separately, disappearing and reappearing.

Professional wrestler Robyn Logan, who worked as a bodyguard for the band at the time, makes an appearance in the video pulling Fred Durst out of the crowd.

The rock band Staind also performed on this very same stage in the video for their single "Mudshovel".
