Tee Vee Shmee Vee.  Piss on Generation X.  We are the Digital
Generation! Black Flag may have sensed this but had the wrong medium. 

Ever cutting-edge at eye, we unveil to you the NEW ANTHEM of a
generation.  When you collapse at home tonight after a hard day of
making someone else a lot of money, run for the home computer,
dial-a-geek, and have some real fun TONIGHT!

(Sung to the tune of "TV Party" by Black Flag)
