Have you heard the new “anthem of Millennial anxiety”?

Have you heard the new “anthem of Millennial anxiety”? “Stressed Out” by duo Twenty One Pilots has reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and reminisces about a simpler time before adulthood: “Used to dream of outer space but now they’re laughing at our face / Saying, ‘Wake up, you need to make money…Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol’ days / When our momma sang us to sleep but now we’re stressed out.” Student loans are also touched on in the song. The hit track is upbeat, but the lyrics are bleak and full of anxiety about “what growing up actually entails,” which could be how many Millennials are feeling today. (The Atlantic)
