The song presents an ironic and implied Generation X view of the hippie movement, extolling ideals of peace and love, and the subsequent conversion of those ideals into simple commercial fads, "because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it", and references the suburbanization of modern America and the 1992 Los Angeles riots when the song was written. "Weird Al" Yankovic included the chorus of the song in his "Polka Power!" polka medley for his Running with Scissors album. Alvin and the Chipmunks covered the song in 2007 for their video game Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Famous quotes containing the word content:

    To be content with life—or to live merrily, rather—all that is required is that we bestow on all things only a fleeting, superficial glance; the more thoughtful we become the more earnest we grow.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    Here form is content, content is form.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    The content of a thought depends on its external relations; on the way that the thought is related to the world, not on the way that it is related to other thoughts.
    Jerry Alan Fodor (b. 1935)
