Homerpalooza
The Onion AV Club appears to be as excited as I am for The Simpsons Movie. They've just put up a list they compiled of 15 Simpsons Moments That Perfectly Captured Their Eras. For a show that has specialized in holding a funhouse mirror up to society for over a decade, it's pretty hard to narrow it down to fifteen episodes, but they did a pretty decent job. Here's number-six:

6. Homer meets Generation X ("Homerpalooza," 1996)

There may be a more succinct commentary on Generation X than the
following exchange between two disaffected youths attending an outdoor
rock show in "Homerpalooza": "Oh, here comes that cannonball guy. He's
cool." "Are you being sarcastic, dude?" "I don't even know any more."
Throughout the episode, in which Homer tries to reconnect with a music
scene that's long since left him behind, the writers explore the
generation gap between classic and "alternative" rockers—one hopelessly
out of touch, the other beaten down by irony and the
corporate-sponsored rebellion of events like Lollapalooza. Still, Homer
does appreciate bands like Smashing Pumpkins selling misery to today's
youth: "You know, my kids think you're the greatest. And thanks to your
gloomy music, they've finally stopped dreaming of a future I can't
possibly provide."

What do you think of the list? Are there some big ones they left out?
