Samantha's burnt online,
she's scrolling all the time.
Her job's a dead-end bore,
she thought she'd have so much more.
Her dreams were all online,
she thought she'd really shine.
Life was better then,
back in the 2010s.

She was gonna be a vlogger,
she was gonna go viral.
She was gonna post a prank
and get a million follows.
Her iPhone X was cracked,
the charger was always gone.
Now, she looks at her old feed
and everything feels wrong.

Since Hunger Games, Twilight
Way before Euphoria.
There was Frozen and Glee nights
and Netflix leaned into streaming.
There's Generation Alpha,
they like to call her "extra"
because she's still stuck inside
the 2010s.
Check out the inspiration for this. Hopefully, everything's accurate.
