Totally awesome music video. People in Edwardian dress vaporizing moon monsters with parasols! How can you not love it? *g* Not to mention Billy Corgan (who looks disturbingly like one of my cousins) in a waistcoat, frock coat, and fedora. I'm surprised I hadn't seen this before, as I got into the Smashing Pumpkins only a couple years after this was made. [1] Of course, I think the only time I ever watched MTV was when Daria was on, so.

[1] Insofar as I remember periods of my life by music, the Pumpkins are pretty close to defining the first two years of high school for me. Them and the Cure, courtesy of a girl in my freshman year study hall who introduced me to that whole genre of music, and then at the same time, Enya and Sarah McLachlan. Yeah, I was a weird kid.

I used to like the song well enough, but it's gone a ways up in my estimation with that video. *g*

It does seem viddable, definitely.

Also, yay for weird kids! 'Cause I wasn't at all. *snerk*

Heh. I was a weird kid at a school for weird kids. (Okay, for nerds. Same difference.)

Yeah, tres viddable...

And I was a weird kid at a fairly normal school...but at least my class was a bit cool-weird. We ripped each other apart in elementary and middle school, but by the time we got to high school we'd all kind of found our own paths and we coexisting very comfortably. We were the weird class which really didn't have a popularity hierarchy anymore once we got to high school.

I went to my local elementary school, and two different flavors of magnets for middle and high school. There wasn't anyone who carried on with me through all years, although people from my past would very occasionally transfer into the next school. But really, we all started over again in 5th and 9th grades. We didn't seem to have a hierarchy so much as lateral groupings...mostly separate, but pretty much equal. (Of course, tiny classes might have helped...there were ~80 people in my middle school class (only seven of them boys, hee!) and ~120 in high school. More difficult to keep the distance required for hierarchies.)
