    Damn good lines. I was 13 years old in 1979. Although this song was written in the 90's, it captures the vibe I felt in '79. The Smashing Pumpkins are about my age. And this is what a Great Song does.

    This is one of those songs that sends a chill down my spine, but in a good way, like, "damn, look how far I've come, and I've only got so long" Especially with that chorus just... damn. Nostalgia but also sends a chill down my spine personally and makes me ponder my own mortality.

      Man, I'm almost 30 and there's still great new music out there, you just have to search for it. Music is so easy to access nowadays and everyone just has their own niche rather than a few songs getting super famous that everyone knows so it may feel like less classics are being created, but the good stuff is out there. Musicians didn't just stop being less talented. Lots of active groups like Fleet Foxes, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Tame Impala, Khruangbin, Dr. Dog, and Alt-J are a few I like. I used to think "wow modern music sucks, I hate the stuff on the radio.", but I wasn't putting in enough effort to find it.

    shakedown 1979
    Cool Kids Never have a Time On a
    Live Wire up off the street
    You and l should l meet
    Junebug
    skipping like a Stone
    With The Headlights pointed at the Drawn We were Sure we'd never see an end at it all
    And i Don't Even care
    To Shake theses Zipper Blues
    We Don't know Just Where Our bones Will rest
    To dust I guess
    Forgotten and Absorb into the Earth Below
    Double cross the Vacant and the bored
    They're not sure Just what we Have in the store
    Morphine city Slipping dues down to See
    That Even we Don't Even Care
    As restless As we are
    We feel the pull in the land of a Thousand guilts
    And Poured Cement lamented and assured
    To the Lights and Town Below Faster Than the Speed of sound Faster Than we Thought we'd go beneath The sound of hope
    justin Never Knew the rules
    Hung Down
    With the freaks and Ghouls
    No Apologies ever need to be made
    I know you better than you fake it to see
    That we Even Don't care
    To shake these zipper blues And
    We Don't know just where Our bones Will rest
    To dust l guess
    Forgotten and Absorb into the Earth Below
    The street heats the urgency of now
    As you see there's no one Around

    I've heard this song a million times and never bothered to learn the lyrics while seeing the video at the same time. I love how the video starts with kids in a wheel--the wheel of life. Then it moves on to scenes of kids partying hard, being romantic in a pool like in a womb, and wantonly vandalizing a store. These are juxtaposed with cryptic lyrics about the impermanence of existence and the finality of death. Reminds me of Zen Buddhist poetry, which is also all about the wheel of life, and the need to suck the marrow out of life in the present for death is always waiting at the door. A junebug skipping like a stone--a line straight out of Zen poetry.

    For all the people that won't and don't take the time to the people that feel hate and feel unwanted , abandon, ridiculed, lonely and forgotten for all those that don't feel a apart of something I wish you the strength to go forward and carry on may your days get brighter you find what you are looking for in life able to seek the help you need what ever kind of help that is and the will and understanding to go forward and stay away from the people that hurt you and don't care what comes out of there mouths toward others or what kind of action they take on you which can just be as bad as their words. Stay with family if you can and others don't interfere and try to discourge you and make you out to be something you are not how crappy that think they have the power to do this for what ever is in their heart, make friends. friends that won't call you names knock you down but will be there for you when you need them and family too just not when its convenient for them. People don't always think what they say to others or what they do and some don't care. Misunderunderstandings happen all the time and lies and all for all those who don't want to work it out I really the best of luck because when you don't have a conscious you are not a human. How sad mean and cruel some people can truly be and they don't care to apolize they don't care so be aware being attacked or someone wrecking your car for no reason does not speak well for those that do that and they have no right what so ever to do that ever and they have no right to dictate to you that you can't see your family or children those people sound like they are manipulative and too controlling and don't respect people in general at all. So you know who you are get over it.

    Once in a while, I go back to this song! It mades me quit my job in Belgium in late 90's to Join a Boston grunge band for several years. Met my future wife. And went back with her to Belgium. Hearing this song make me wonder why, how music could push you to do amazing stuff! When I explain this to my son while listening this, he just shrug! And say!" You're crazy man! " (Tim Boston)

    That's what lead me here a GREAT Song by this very talented Artist SMASHING PUMPKINS: what were the specific LYRICS to 1979? But the subtle Question, going BEYOND to Interpretation, becomes ("ASK"ING a Question is just Perfect for Me, as my very Name Initials to'"A.S.K." to "ASK", being Albert S. Kundrat!):Question: Is the MILIEU or Mentality of this Song "1979" actually the Mind-Set of any authentic 1979 TEEN, WHEN He or She was in that very Year 1979 as TEEN, when THINKING, FEELING, and BEHAVING the way KIDS of 1979 were actually like? Or is the Song only a Kaleidoscopic View of the 21st Century TEEN, seeing Himself or Herself, FUNWISE, as a mental Nineteen-Seventy-niner? or, Rather as a post 2000 TEEN, posing as if though a 1979 TEEN in nostalgic artistry, but not necessarily in cultural fact, any 1979er's mindset, culture and mentality wise?

    My Mom was 17 in 1979. She's 59 1/2 now. She'll be 60 this coming February 2022. She always Tells me she still feels that Age as the Years go by. Since we're all in a Brand New Decade I don't Blame her when she always Tells me every now and then that she still feels like she's 17 and now going on 60 this February my Mom still looks exactly the same from her Younger Years when she grew up in the 70's and 80's Especially in 1977-1979.

    It’s crazy to think this song is called 1979 and it’s from the 90s but majority of the comments I’ve seen say the feel the vibe from 1979 listening to this. Billy is something of a time traveller himself

    This song reminds me of high school even though I hardly went cause I skipped school and got High all day. Fast forward 3 decades later, 2 stint’s in the penitentiary totaling 25 years. Oh how I wish I could go back and do a retake, I would have definitely smoked more

    This song makes me think about the 80s and how my parents lived in those years and probably how much fun they had, but this song makes me think about getting bullied and "why are they bullying me?" or "Are they ok or do they hate me that much?".

    This is the kind of song I'd play if a meteor was coming for earth and I only had a day or 2 left to live...
    I would play music like this, reflecting on my many regrets, thinking about how much time I've squandered and given away, how I might have done things differently, done more with myself, experienced more....
    Thinking about how nice it would be to have someone there beside me, to hold, and to cry with....oh well lol earth go boom hehe
