Pete Townshend, the band's guitarist, allegedly wrote the song on a train and is said to have been inspired by Mose Allison's "Young man blues" for the musical part.

The lyrics are a call to see how youth has changed, that it wants to be heard and to stop censoring the voice of a future, at that time, that sought change through young people. As Townshend told Rolling stone magazine in 1985 "My Generation is about finding a space in society".

This song marked the musical change experienced in England, where bands appeared that left aside the Yeah Yeah Yeah that years ago made the youth shiver and now looked for guitars and drums as a way to express poetic emotions and musical experiments that would later be essential in the mutation of rock.
