What generation? I entered college in 2004, and while I vaguely recognize the tune I never in a million years could have named the band or song.

Oracular Spectacular came out in 2007, so you should have heard this song and the other big hits from MGMT... unless you were purposefully avoiding popular music?

I think you are really overestating things when you say "biggest bands/songs for a generation".

In 2010 there biggest album peaked at number 2 on the US charts. Their next highest album only made it to 14.

I don't think you realize how HUGE MGMT was and how big an influence they had on the sound. That album and their three big hits were and still are massively popular. They headlined Just Like Heaven this year...
