1993 was a pretty big year for alternative rock. And MTV's flagship alt-rock program--120 Minutes--did a bang-up job of recapping it.

Watch Lewis Largent (remember that guy?) host a two-hour special from December of 1993 that recaps all the big-name live performances the show hosted that year. It starts big, with Smashing Pumpkins performing "Cherub Rock." You get Cracker playing "Low," too. And it's the full two-hour block, complete with vintage commercials.

What are you waiting for? Go back to 1993, because 2020 kinda sucks right now.
