FIND A BETTER SONG THAT DESCRIBES MILLENIALS. I DARE YOU.


Arcade Fire Lyrics

Play "Rococo"
on Amazon Music

"Rococo"

Let's go downtown and watch the modern kids
Let's go downtown and talk to the modern kids
They will eat right out of your hand
Using great big words that they don't understand
They're singing:

Rococo, rococo, rococo, rococo
Rococo, rococo, rococo, rococo

They build it up just to burn it back down
They build it up just to burn it back down
The wind is blowing all the ashes around
Oh my dear God what is that horrible song they're singin'

Rococo, rococo, rococo, rococo
Rococo, rococo, rococo, rococo
Rococo, rococo, rococo, rococo
Rococo, rococo, rococo, rococo
Rococo, rococo!
Rococo!

They seem wild but they are so tame
They seem wild but they are so tame
They're moving towards you with their colors all the same
They want to own you but they don't know what game they're playing

Rococo, rococo, rococo, rococo
Rococo!
Rococo!

(Rococo)
(Rococo)

Rococo!
Rococo!

(Rococo)
(Rococo)

Rococo!

  • The first song that came to mind when I saw this question was a song called "Selfie."
    I think that song kinda shows a little glimpse of what some "Millenials" are like. LoL. : )

  • I'm Rocky Rococo. You may have seen me loitering around the drugstore, drinking chocolate malted Falcons and giving away free high school...

    There seems to be no connection between the music and the video. Is that also a millennial thing?

      That's the point.  They make no sense. 


    I think the line "Using great big words that they don't understand, they're singing Rococo" means that kids like to pretend to know what they're talking about and they pretend to understand life and a lot of the time it can end up sounding like they're just speaking jibberish.

    From what I've heard, few songs are better than any song by Arcade Fire.
