"Moja generacija" (My Generation) was the Yugoslavian entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 1974, performed in Serbo-Croatian by veteran rock band Korni Grupa.[1]

The song was performed 7th on the night of the contest, following Israel's Kaveret with "Natati La Khayay" and preceding Sweden's ABBA with "Waterloo". It received only 6 points, placing 12th in a field of 17.[2]

"Moja generacija" features lyrics based on the growing up of Yugoslav children born and raised around the year 1942, hence the alternative title Generacija '42 in some sources.[3]

The song was succeeded as Yugoslav representatvia at the 1975 contest by Pepel in Kri with "Dan ljubezni".
