Disavowing the punk rock roots of many of their alt-rock contemporaries, they have a diverse, densely layered, and guitar-heavy sound, containing elements of gothic rock, heavy metal, dream pop, psychedelic rock, progressive rock, shoegazing, and, in later recordings, electronica.
Billy Corgan is the group’s main songwriter. His musical ambitions and cathartic lyrics have shaped the band’s distinctive albums, which one writer described as “anguished, bruised reports from Billy Corgan’s nightmare-land”.
In 1994, Smashing Pumpkins headlined Lollapalooza and performed with others, including The Flaming Lips, The Breeders, A Tribe Called Quest, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Boredoms, and Green Day.
In June 2013, Smashing Pumpkins performed at the Glastonbury Festival with others including Arctic Monkeys, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello & The Imposters, Portishead, Mumford and Sons, Alt-J, Of Monsters and Men and The Lumineers.
Regarding the band’s influence upon other groups, Greg Kot wrote, “Whereas Nirvana spawned countless mini-Nirvanas, the Pumpkins remain an island unto themselves.” Still, some artists and bands have been influenced by the Smashing Pumpkins, such as Nelly Furtado, Marilyn Manson, Third Eye Blind, Mark Hoppus of Blink-182, Tegan and Sara, Fall Out Boy, Rivers Cuomo, Panic! at the Disco, Silversun Pickups, and My Chemical Romance. My Chemical Romance vocalist Gerard Way has said that they patterned their career upon the Pumpkins.
Their discography includes twelve studio albums, four live albums, one digital live album series, seven compilation albums (including box sets and promotional releases), five extended plays (including promotional releases), 55 singles (including promotional releases), four video albums, 37 music videos, and contributions to five soundtrack albums.
