The phrase originally comes from the song "The Kids Are Alright" written by Pete Townshend as part of the English rock band The Who in 1965. While it is not clear that Pete Townshend or The Who intended for this expression to have any profound meaning within the context of their own song, the phrase has been referenced numerous times across all forms of media, usually with the meaning or connotation that "the young generation are doing okay and are going to be just fine".
The phrase, as originally coined by The Who, has been referenced in songs by the Offspring, Fall Out Boy, Bad Religion, Urge Overkill, Lagwagon, Local H, AWOLNATION, The Parlor Mob, Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Chloe x Halle, and more. The title of the song was also used as the title of a film and is referenced in the titles of numerous television episodes (e.g. That 70's Show, Supernatural, Ballers, and The Simpsons). It was also used in the Final Fantasy VII novel The Kids Are Alright: A Turks Side Story, the novel having various references to The Who. It is also frequently used in various political headlines and discussions about issues affecting the younger generations.

Get the April 9th mug.Very intelligent down to earth girl. Someone who only looks for the good in people. Someone who loves and cares for people with all she has and has the biggest heart among all. Finds difficulty in telling people no and always helps when she can. Puts others happiness before hers and will always be loyal and trustworthy. A very faithful individual who takes relationships seriously. She keeps to herself and only let's a very select few into her life to shield herself from hurt. Anyone who deals with her should feel very special and never take her for granted. She will always be the kind hearted person who will always love you with all she has in her.
