All he did was shout random nonsense that didn't seem to add anything to the music.
He isn't a vocalist, the vocals tend to be speeded up samples, which is a trait that pretty much gives the genre it's name. He's just there to shout random phrases like 'move your ass' or 'raise your hands' during various parts of the song.
Welcome to Happy Hardcore

Would science actually waste time and resources to give factual evidence to this? My question is not serious, just so you know. Rhetorical.

You know a genre is bad when you need to be high to enjoy it.

Batlord has explained why he likes Cannibal Corpse. I still find myself in confusing as to why his fondness of that band is so strong. Not at all bad musicians. But I just think the music is so dull.

Regard a band like The Smashing Pumpkins...over rated among many, and Billy Corgan can be an arrogant ass.

You should have read the UK weekly music press in the early 90s.
They were despised

It wasn't one article it was pretty much every time something was printed about them.
No idea about anything online, but look for a journalist called Everett True. He led the charge.

Edit: here's a treat for you. Everett True reviewing the deluxe edition of Siamese Dream

I used to love them. Then I bought Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. They have some great songs, but other than that it's like they have their own distinct sound, and yet they also have none. I don't know how to explain it. Other than that 90% of their music that I've heard is dull. And their biggest hit is an imitation of "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Take that Smashing Pumpkins fans.
