"Homerpalooza" is the 24th episode of The Simpsons' seventh season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on May 19, 1996. The plot focuses on Homer joining the "Hullabalooza" music festival as a carnival freak. The episode title is a play on the Lollapalooza music festival. It was the last The Simpsons episode written by Brent Forrester and the last episode directed by Wes Archer. Peter Frampton and musical groups The Smashing Pumpkins, Cypress Hill, and Sonic Youth guest star as themselves.

After the school bus is destroyed, Homer is forced to drive several students to school. Along the way, he listens to a classic rock radio station and is shocked to discover that all of the kids hate it. After several more days of the kids hating his music, Homer visits a music store and realizes that what he likes is no longer considered cool. As a result, Homer decides to take Bart and Lisa to the Hullabalooza music festival. At the festival, Homer tries to act cool by wearing a Rastafarian hat, but all he does is humiliate himself and is confronted by an angry crowd of Generation Xers who mistake him for a narc. After being tossed out by the crowd, Homer angrily kicks a cannon, which shoots one of Peter Frampton's inflatable pigs at his stomach. The festival head is impressed and Homer is hired as a part of the festival's freak show.
