Music Monday: Of Throwbacks and Tiktoks

So here's the point when I become a grumpy old lady.
 
Okay, fine! I've been all of those things for awhile. But after swooping back into the clock app, I have noticed a lot of youngin's (theatre kids, but still) claiming clout because they can sing along with every word of various Hamilton songs. Granted, some of those are challenging (see: Lafayette in action one), but then the inevitable generational war kicked in and older creators pointed out that they knew the words to "La Vie Boheme" from Rent.
 
Ahhhh here we go, this is my jam. But wait. "You may have grown up with Hamilton but I grew up with RENT!"

Grew up with? GREW UP WITH?

LISTEN. I saw the original cast at the Nederlander as a Grown Ass Adult, thank you very much. 
I don't know if that is defensive or just sad. Anyway, enjoy...can you sing all the words like the TikTok kids who...GREW UP WITH IT? Oh my days...

(This one has lyrics included in case you need them...)
