Took a change of direction into grunge shortly after this, never looked back. These are still bangers, mind.

I’ve had that KLF song stuck in my head for weeks.

13/14 was 98/99:

I was listening to The Specials debut loads

Albums by Weezer, Less Than Jake & The Offspring were also played frequently.

Wouldn’t say I was into any songs particularly but this really impressed me when I heard it

isn’t he a men’s rights activist now or something?

not very surprising that he’s a total dickhead though

Billy Corgan?

yeah, who knows if that’s true or not

guess googling anything is easy these days…wow:

Jones then suggested that social justice warriors were willing to shout down anyone they disagreed with purely out of hate, “literally like a dumb Klan guy that just pulls over on some black guy walking home from work and kills him 'cause they’re black.”

Corgan then picked up the analogy and said, “I’m not saying America doesn’t have a racist bent, so let’s put that out there to start with, but let’s go back to a time where racism was accepted, it was institutionalized. OK? If you could go back to Selma 1932, and the Klan member spitting in some person of color’s face, don’t you think that guy thought he was right, too?” After Jones agreed, Corgan added, “Ok. So how is this any different?”

Probably. He’s always been a prick.

I also find it bizarre that he went out with Jessica Simpson.

I took way too much fashion influence from this era of the Smashing Pumpkins as a teenager. Never did manage to get any silver trousers though.

used to love melon collie, think that’s the only album I’ve really listened to of theirs. To be fair to them there, it’s a pretty cool fashion.

Honestly this was my 13 - 14 year old tunes

How far I’ve come ha

it’s like they’re having a contest to see who can look the most glaikit

don’t know if he is full blown mra but he has definitely become even more awful, there was all the transphobic stuff with devi ever a few years back, now he is on Info Wars all the time complaining about social justice warriors, he has said pro trump things etc. it is really upsetting, they were the first band I loved and one I always come back to, I know he has alway been terrible but I could forgive him because he is a pretty messed up person, but he has definitely crossed a line

most people have reasons hwy they might have ended up awful, unfortunately it’s still the responsibility of us all to hold them to account.

Just because you haven’t got any silver trousers.

I was very tempted by this in a shop a couple of months ago, but when you looked at it probably it was shit quality for the price. The hem’s even coming apart on the sample.

I think the pumpkins were the coolest looking band, their art work, their whole aesthetic

I think with hindsight Corgan was one of the few people make an effort in the year 2000 to look like how people should look in the year 2000 i.e like someone from the future in bill and teds bogus journey
