Bowie himself once claimed that the song was not intended to be an anthem for glam and actually carried a darker message of apocalypse. According to an interview Bowie gave to Rolling Stone magazine in 1973, the boys are carrying the same news that the newscaster was carrying in the song "Five Years" from Ziggy Stardust; the news being the fact that the Earth had only five years left to live. Bowie explains: "'All the Young Dudes' is a song about this news. It's no hymn to the youth, as people thought. It is completely the opposite."[15] "All the Young Dudes" is also thought of as a gay anthem.[16] Lou Reed said "It's a Gay Anthem! A rallying call to the young dudes to come out in the streets and show that they were beautiful and gay and proud of it."[17]
How do young people feel about the companies they work for, and business in general? We recently released our latest Millennial Survey, which sheds light on these issues by engaging almost 8,000 millennials (those born after 1982) from around the world.
