Different generations; different anthems

When I was in high school, the song that was played at every pep rally and every sports events was We Are The Champions, an affirmative statement of superiority and the will to fight:

My kids’ have a very different anthem, which is Black Eyed Peas’ I Gotta Feeling:

I really like I Gotta Feeling.  It’s a fun song (but what a sleazy video!).  But I also think it’s amusing that my generation rallied around winning, while this generation rallies around navel gazing.
