Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I still got scars

From lime-green messenger names

Burnt CDs in a shoebox

Every track mislabeled the same

I scroll through reels

While my back starts to complain

Got a skincare fridge now

Still break out like eighth grade

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m too old for this app

Too young to give in

Got a 9-to-5 calendar

Full of dentist visits and friends I never see

[Chorus]

I’m an elder millennial, buffering in my thirties

Loading screen soul, knees weak, kinda flirty

Still scream-sing songs I learned in ‘03

Kids call it vintage

It’s just me

I’m an elder millennial, stuck between updates

I know all the hacks

Forget all the dates

Got one foot in memes, one foot in pain

Laugh through the lag

And do it again

[Verse 2]

I pay for streaming

Still own that scratched-up disc

I say “let’s pre-game at nine”

But I’m asleep by six

My group chat’s lit

About our houseplants and rent

We used to stage dive

Now we stretch before we vent

[Rap]

Yeah, I’m the Wi‑Fi dad with the weak-ass spine

Got a foam roller throne and a screen‑time shrine

Wore skinny black jeans through three sad eras

Now my hips talk back like “bro, have some self‑care”

Got a student loan ghost that haunts my pay stub

Back in my day we had to steal our plug

I survived dial‑up, pop‑punk, side‑part shame

Now the algorithm’s roasting how I say my own name

I hit one mosh pit, need three-day rest

Wear a smartwatch flex just to track my stress

Still toss up horns when the chorus hits hard

Then tap “low impact workout” in my health app chart (hey!)

[Chorus]

I’m an elder millennial, buffering in my thirties

Loading screen soul, knees weak, kinda flirty

Still scream-sing songs I learned in ‘03

Kids call it vintage

It’s just me

I’m an elder millennial, stuck between updates

I know all the hacks

Forget all the dates

Got one foot in memes, one foot in pain

Laugh through the lag

And do it again (again, again)

[Verse 1]

I grew up slamming doors

Now I just mute the thread

Used to write in black nail polish

Now it’s spreadsheets instead

We planned revolutions

From the back row of the show

Now my wildest act of chaos

Is saying “can’t, I gotta go”

[Chorus]

We’re elder millennials, screaming into group chats

Heart still stage-dives, body’s yelling “don’t try that”

We used to bleed on the floor for the band

Now we bring earplugs

Stand in the back

We’re elder millennials, halfway to a throwback

Car seat in the hatch, still blasting that sad track

We never grew up, just grew out of our jeans

Still the same feelings

Now with receipts

[Verse 2]

I used to cry in bathrooms

Over mixtapes and fades

Now I cry on tax day

And the cost of Gatorade

I ghosted all my journals

Started yelling in my notes

Therapist says I’m “self-aware”

Which I think is millennial code

[Rap]

Yeah, I’m the sad-boy uncle with the dad-joke flow

Got a back that snaps every time I sneeze slow

Hit “going” on events I will never attend

Cancel last minute, blame “traffic” again

My emo got older, upgraded to dread

Now it looks like a budget true-crime thread

I used to text “u up?” at like 3 a.m.

Now it’s “you
