Oh, I don't think they entirely were. Sonic Youth were into the Beatles and the Carpenters were definitely directly descended, particularly in terms of song arrangement and production. Still, I think the SY cover of "Superstar" reeks of irony, and the lyrics to "Tunic" even moreso. I don't think there is anything wrong with that though - you can still get into something in part out of irony and really enjoy it.
