This dude is a bit of a pretentious douche.

Were BWBW and 1979 actually released as a double A-side?

These types of video are a cancer on youtube. What used to be vlogs have turned into a whole genre of shower thoughts presented as explanations by someone with a British accent, probably fake, over a video montage. The comments under those video are painful, they'll say "thanks I always wondered why I liked that song so much!", and it's all just pontification, made up bullshit.

After the nostalgia tour of the Smashing Pumpkins and the bad record sales of today's SP releases:
Could it be that Corgan retires -at least with his band project- when he gets sixty? https://scontent-frx5-1.xx.fbcdn.net...46&oe=5CB0FDAF https://scontent-frx5-1.xx.fbcdn.net...f5&oe=5C6B240C |

Corgan needs time to find a new place for his tea shop.
But mostly time and money to buy the World Wrestling Entertainment. That's why he already tries to make as much money now as possible by touring at only bigger venues. |

The video was nice; I could've done without the Billy/Pumpkins jabs at the end though.
The one thing literally everyone misses the point on is major 7th chords. It literally starts and ends with that. This song was Billy channeling his inner Carpenters, and stealing riffs from Dennis. |

I meant the bulk of the song haha, or at least the reason everyone feels so "nostalgic" about it.

i love a major 7th just as much as the next guy, but it's the "ooh oohs," the odd-sounding drum machine, the ligher, sunnier nature of the production, that give me those 90s FEELS when i'm jammin '79
& yeah, the straight Eb, my friend used to laugh at how abrupt & "matter of fact" that was. It's kinda perfect though, a maj7 ending woulda probably been a little too dramatic/syrupy or something |

If the song wasn't named after a year that is decades past, I'd hardly think it was nostalgic. The electronic drumming was contemporary for the time, alt rock was on the decline. 1979 was a precursor to Adore, which abandoned alt rock entirely, hence it sounds like Perfect.
