"To me, the newest generation of bands is not a reaction against something, but a reaction because there is nothing. It's like there's so much apathy and people are frustrated and we don't even know why." - Billy Corgan, Starline Magazine, 1994, "Smashing Pumpkins: An Alternative Success Story"
"The attributes previously sought by photographers - strong design, orderly composition, control over tonal values, lucidity of content, good print quality - have been stood on their heads, and the qualities now courted are formlessness, rawness, clutter, accident, and other manifestations of the camera's formidable capacity for imposing disorder on reality." - Janet Malcom, "Diana and Nikon"
