Sonic Youth

On July 29, 1992, Sonic Youth performed "100%" on MTV's "Hangin' with MTV" to promote their then-recent album, "Dirty," which was released just a few months earlier on June 10, 1992. This period marked a significant moment in the band’s career, as "Dirty" was their major label debut with DGC Records, showcasing a shift towards more accessible sounds while still retaining their avant-garde roots. The album received critical acclaim and featured popular tracks like "Kissability" and "Youth Against Fascism." During this time, Sonic Youth was instrumental in bridging the gap between alternative rock and mainstream audiences, further solidifying their status as a pivotal band in the 1990s music scene. Their appearance on MTV exemplified their rising popularity and the growing influence of alternative rock during this era.
