This was a song that shaped a generation.
It's unfortunate that young people today don't have this sort of music anymore. They need a healthy, safe outlet to express their natural angst, and it's simply not there. What they have is a shallow, meaningless expression of hedonism and debauchery. This music is symbolic; it allows people to experience the angst and alienation they feel, but there's a double meaning that gives that angst greater purpose.
I feel sorry for young people
