>>132001819The point of the original song was as a response to then-contemporary fears and anxiety about the present and future by demonstrating that these fears and anxiety are not exclusive to any one generation, hence "we didn't start the fire" or in other words, "there is nothing new under the sun"What Fall Out Boy did was make the song about said fears and anxiety and airing their Millennial victim complex instead, completely missing the mark
