In 1995 the alternative rock band called 'the smashing pumpkins' released their magnum opus 'Mellon collie and the infinite sadness', a bombastic, symphonic masterpiece with massive hard rock elements.
One of the seminal tracks on that album was a song called '1979' about the transition into adolescence of front man Billie Corgan.
It was sixteen years past 1979 when the album came out, hence it it came out today it would be 2008, so the image with funny captions is already outdated.
