"My Generation" crashed out of Limp Bizkit's third album, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, in 2000, released as a single the same day as "Rollin'". Fred Durst's lyrics grab at other people's anthems, nodding to the Who's "My Generation", Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle" and even the Spice Girls' "Move Over", while the real action is Wes Borland's guitar and John Otto's drums knotted tight around each other, a lock-step that echoes Primus, who influenced them and toured with them.
Terry Date produced with the band and Andy Wallace mixed, so it hits like a slammed locker. The video put them on a clear acrylic stage while fans ran wild outside the Astrodome, with wrestler Travis Tomko, then their bodyguard, hauling Durst out of the crowd.
