Following the announcement of their striking debut album, ‘ANTI-FUN PROPAGANDA’ (set for release on 23 FEBRUARY 2024 via Marshall Records), alt-punk collective GEN AND THE DEGENERATES today reveal their latest offering in the form of ‘KIDS WANNA DANCE,’ a spiralling, dystopian anthem for the disenfranchised.
Fans pre-order limited edition vinyl bundles of the album – HERE. The band will also hit the road with legendary Celtic punks, FLOGGING MOLLY, across America in 2024. A complete list of dates can be found below.
Speaking on the themes of their new single, vocalist Genevieve Glynn-Reeves (she/they) comments:
“This song is about trying to reconcile the knowledge that the future of our world is very uncertain, getting up each day and trying to build a life for ourselves. Beyond that, we all want to find a way to make those lives enjoyable.
“Not only is the quality of life getting lower, but our politics and economy are volatile; we have to ask ourselves questions like ‘Is it even ethical to have children?’ because of the state that previous generations have left the planet in.
“It seems that if people want to spend all their time making stupid videos on TikTok or spend all their money frivolously, then why shouldn’t they? There are no stable careers, and they won’t be able to afford a house anyway. We all need to find the joy we can and each our way of dancing through the end times.”
