"Lost Generation" is a song by English hip hop duo Rizzle Kicks. The song was released as a digital download in the United Kingdom on 25 August 2013 as the lead single from their second studio album, Roaring 20s (2013). The song was written by Jordan Stephens, Harley Alexander-Sule, Ant Whiting, Emily Phillips and Pete Cannon. The song has peaked to #6 on the UK Singles Chart.

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review, stating:

"After successfully establishing themselves as a group who aren't afraid of telling it how it is, Rizzle Kicks have painted a rather bleak picture of today's yoof on their latest track. On paper it sounds like career suicide, but as always they pull it off with their razor-sharp lyrics and take-it-or-leave-it attitude. "Hashtag trends, we make people go clap clap yeah," they quip over a plodding hip-hop brass section, before having a pop at Jeremy Kyle, John Terry and fellow popstars who buy YouTube views. "Why is everybody so PC?/ It's not my fault if you take offence," they conclude - and if we're honest, we couldn't agree more." 4/5 stars.
