    What’s the defining Millennial song?
    May 26 2026
    We weigh the options and attempt to pick the one song that best captures the Millennial generation's experience, from the dizzying highs of the dot-com boom, when anything seemed possible, to the post-9-11 bust, the hope of the Obama years, and prolonged period of generational disillusionment.

    NPR Music millennials Hazel Cills and Sheldon Pearce join host Robin Hilton.
