This song amazes me, but also confirms how much I thought things are still happening today, 40 or 60 years later. The mention of wars, certain disease outbreaks, major social events. The other mentioning of new things starting, like the “new Queen of England” whom died, and what’s even better is the new song says that. This song even mentions some wars that I’ve known about but something that people rarely spoke about until now in the more 21st century, things like Palestine, which is something me and everyone is starting to address much more than before. Some fires are extinguished, but some are just starting to burn, too.

It's less more happened it's more stuff became seen worldwide. The internet means the world is pretty connected, meaning everyone in Russia sees the funeral of a Taiwanese leader while a Spaniard could see a British coronation. As much as today was happening people just didn't see. The only case I'd say more happened since the 80s is trends and fashion, which pretty much changes every week due to trends becoming so fast paced due to the interconnectivity of the internet. 2020 was packed though.

Vince the Deer Thats exactly what the song means. Your generation tends to think that the fire is much worse then the older generation. Billy Joel wrote the song because a youth told him things are really bad now and tried to tell Billy Joel that nothing happened in the 50s, which wasn't true at all because their was the Korean War and Suez Canal. So the song is about how the younger generation tends to overthing how problems now are much worse than years before.
