Cat No: HR7340-1
Originally released in 2013, The Greatest
Generation, the third full-length from Philadelphia
pop punk legends, The Wonder Years, is
considered one of the best pop punk albums of all
time. Railing against the tired tropes of what elder
generations claimed the “millennial” generation
looked like – participation trophies, safe spaces,
and misguided beliefs that empathy made you
weak/infantile, The Greatest Generation, was
written with the idea that only we could shape our
narrative, define our success and failure, and set
our own expectations. Those expectations were
shattered as the release of the album crashed
websites, blew out all vinyl stock, and broke
records.
The band was featured on several
magazine covers, including Alternative Press, and
sold out a world tour that hit territories they had
only seen in books. Headlining Warped Tour in
2013, and playing four cross country shows in 24
hours, the band cemented their place in the pop
punk pantheon as the hardest working band in the
scene.
The Greatest Generation, is unequivocally one of
the 50 greatest pop punk albums in history
(according to Rolling Stone) and is known as the
bands’ seminal release that has stood the test of
time.
