it so infinitely depressing to see
or overhear jaded, mindless uniform indie teenagers discussing how they just downloaded "this Rat In A Cage song" onto their ipods last night and how they sortof like it, but how little they like "that weird Tonight song".
goddamit sp don't belong to this generation. WHY, BILLY CORGAN, WHY? |

what's sad here is that they won't
if bullet is only "ok" and tonight doesn't instantaneously change your life, you have become seriously, desperately desensitised to what is great about music, or possibly anything else in life the kids of this generation can't tell the difference between shit and gold, and even if they could they probably wouldn't change |

welll God being empty could be interpreted as being Zen. completely unattatched. but empty as in the meaning of nothing no that doesn't work for me. um... i have issues with Zero, but I think it's a very sexy song so i'm somewhat seduced by it bwbw though. i rememeber the very first day i heard it on the radio and it was instantaneous dislike and shock that that was the new sp single. it's always been that way and always will be for me. it's like nails on a blackboard |

And the 'shit and gold' thing is spot on. I'm 23, and it amazes me when I meet people just 5 years younger than me who listen to the worst emo and fake-metal crap religiously and think it is something to take seriously. Same goes for the fake new-wave and Joy Division rip offs. I can't find a reason why the younger generations latch on to this crap that seems so calculated and un-genuine. What happened in such a short span of time to destroy rock music? I mean, of course, besides Britney Spears. There's no competing with her. |

i don't know how closely my experiences as a pumpkins fan compare to everyone else's, but i find that people frequently judge me for liking this band. acquaintances often seem to become alienated from me at the mere mention of their name, which is a bizarre thing to experience. of course, most people aren't going to be familiar with them beyond a single or two, but there is an utterly incomprehensible stigma to sp's public perception that i can't say i've found in any other band, really. and just in the same way that telling people that you like sp will probably get you a funny look (or i will at least), people are frequently going to have the same sort of bizarre reaction to their work if you show it to them. more often than not, they just don't get it, and you're sitting there thinking "how the fuck can this asshole not get how awesome this band is" and i think its largely because today's teenagers are subject to a very different kind of media saturation through download culture etc. to cut a long story short, we all know the pumpkins are (were?) too good for radio, too good for tv, too good for most people. and the digital age is simply bringing them into the palms of more ungrateful hands than ever before. i don't wish sp had broken up, but the ideals they represented just can't survive in such a shallow and fickle media culture. i know this sounds stupid but who cares. not you, i'm guessing

i was surprised when everyone at my work (even my boss) seemed envious that i was going to see sp over the weekend. I wouldn't have pegged any of them as fans. I haven't experienced what you have isle, except in the mid 90s when most of my friends were all about the indie rock, and most of them hated sp. They never really gave me a hard time about liking them though, they were nice people and all.

Does anyone honestly care what teenagers are listening to? Be happy that when you were a teenager you popped in 'Hummer' and jizzed your pants and have never been the same since.

although that is a redundant rivaly unto itself, because everyone knows those pavement fans only went for pavement as a hip indie alternative to the pumpkins and not necessarily because they were a better band.

When people try to act like every generation goes through the same phase of rejecting the one that came after it, it bears some truth, but is a little too simplistic here. There is a timelessness to the music of SP. I can see myself listening to them well into my adult life and still find relevance. Bands that are apart of this new generation don't have that quality. Everything from the vocals to the pop-punk undertones, to the content of the lyrics are something specifically crafted for teens. I asked a 19 year old girl whether she could see herself listening to Ashes Fall, Fallout Boy, Panic! in 10 years and she conceded "probably not, but I am young and just enjoying this music for the time and place it represents in my life." That sentiment is fair enough and I'm probably the idiot for looking down on her for that thought. Pop has always served as music for the lowest common denominator. "Rock/alternative" (whatever that even means anymore) is now serving the same clientel. None of this is to say that Billy didn't make music for a teen audience as well, but it was not done in a catering kind of way. I assume it came from an honest place.
