Fact #156373

Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) : Nihilism! Just when things were getting positive, you know, with the upbeatness of New Order and The Cure, this came along and pissed on everybody. The album sounded so distorted and awful and crazy and great. In America, somebody has to do it first, though you could argue that we end up doing it better. So there's everyone playing their jangly rock and here comes four guys who can't even f***ing play! And they sound weirder and meaner than anyone else. A month later everyone's like ,CRRRRRRRR, fuzz pedals.
