Shallow MTV plugged 'alternative' rock band, that were heavily indebted to The Cure, My Bloody Valentine and Judas Priest. As plastic as Britney Spears.
Obnoxious Thirtysomething: Hey, the Smashing Pumpkins were musical revolutionaries. Billy Corgan's a genius!
Bob: Y'mean revolutionary by the standards of Rod Stewart? Oh... um, you seem to have got overexcited, you might wanna change those trousers.
Obnoxious Thirtysomething: Wha..? And who's this My Bloody Valentine band? I've never heard them on MTV, therefore they probably don't exist.... oh, have you got a paper towel?

The unfortunate result of thinking the 90's had more staying power than they actually did.

The Smashing Pumpkins are an American Alternative rock band originating from Chicago. The band was formed in 1988 with Billy Corgan as the frontman, guitarist and the primary composer, D'arcy Wretzky as the Bass Guitarist and Jimmy Chamberlin as the drummer. A pretty fucking good band back in the day and I wish I wad alive during the time they were mainstream, but sadly I was born in 2004.
