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.
Also: An ingenious ruse to keep people from knowing you make Hunter money.
"Are you serious, that guy makes Hunter money? But he has a fucking Smashing Pumpkins tattoo."

Smashing Pumpkins are an annoying band.
I have never liked their music, I have always found it to be corny as fuck. Sappy. The only album that was good was Siamese Dream. I could never get through all their other albums in full.
Smashing Pumpkins are dull.
