FooL on CooL generation is the fourth soundtrack from the anime series FLCL. All of the music is by Japanese rock group The Pillows.
This fourth album includes music which can be found in the FLCL Progressive and FLCL Alternative anime series, released together as part of the dual-theatrical showings of both series in Japan.
With the exception of "Spiky Seeds" and "Star Overhead", the rest of the songs are re-recorded versions of tracks from their previous albums and FLCL OSTs. As such, these new re-recordings are labeled as "Fool on Cool Version" on the album's track list.
In the United States and Canada, the album was renamed, given new art work, and released in two formats:
- A vinyl version titled FLCL Progressive / Alternative (Music From The Series) featuring Haruko Haruhara, Julia Jinyu and Hidomi Hibajiri set against a yellow background
