"Every Generation Got Its Own Disease" (also simply known as "Every Generation") is a song by German rock band Fury in the Slaughterhouse. The song was released as the second single from the album Mono.

Reception[edit]

AllMusic reviewer Tom Demalon called the song "a dark, brooding cut with a hypnotic guitar line" and noted the bleak nature of the lyrics. Demalon said Kai Wingenfelder lacked much range, but called the song the band's best melody.[1]

"Every Generation" is Fury in the Slaughterhouse's most popular and successful single. The song was a commercial success in the band's home country of Germany, peaking at a career high #44 on the Top 100 Singles chart.[2] "Every Generation" was also a success on American rock radio, peaking at #13 and #21 on the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts, respectively.[3][4]
