Mediocre Generica is the debut studio album by the American
punk bandLeftöver Crack. It was released on September 11, 2001 and includes much sociopolitical commentary, including
anti-police sentiment,
anti-racism and anti-
homophobia. The album was originally intended to be titled Shoot the Kids at School, which
Hellcat Records objected to.[3] As
Stza said in an interview, "They wanted mediocre generic artwork and they wanted a mediocre generic title, so I called it Mediocre Generica and I guarantee you the irony was lost on
Epitaph".[4] This has been cited as one of the main reasons that
Leftöver Crack made the move to the much smaller label
Alternative Tentacles.[4] The album was coincidentally released on the same day as the
September 11 terrorist attacks, and during the introduction on the band's next release, Fuck World Trade, this album is referred to as "the tower-toppling Mediocre Generica".[5]
