Welcome to your #1 hub for all things New Generation! If there's anything you ever wanted to know about the OT4, we've got it. If you've memorized every lyric, same. If you wished you and your siblings were like Benji and Jess, same. If you believe in WildThorn, same.
The Story (As We Know It):
2021: In Aberton, Wisconsin, 13 year-old Jess Wilde wins a scholarship to attend Whitegrove Country Day, an elite all-boys school. He hits it off with his classmate, Richard "Rocky" Hawthorne, and after being expelled from the school band for being too disruptive, they decide to start their own band. Meanwhile, Benji and Kennedy Castillo-O'malley move into Jess' neighbourhood after their parents' wedding.
2022: After defending Kennedy from bullies, Jess and Rocky invite him to join the band. After tagging along to watch them practice one too many times, Benji joins the band as well. The band is named 'New Generation' after an inside joke. The official New Generation YouTube account is made, garnering 500 subscribers by the end of the year.
2023-Now: The band releases their first original song, Boys Like Us. The song goes viral, landing them an album deal with Manic Records. The rest is history...
