https://youtube/watch?v=NOG3eus4ZSo The Smashing Pumpkins burst onto the music scene amid the explosion of grunge in the early ’90s. Many fans and critics alike were quick to associate Corgan’s band with the generic label for Seattle’s diverse new rock acts, despite the fact that the Pumpkins hailed from Chicago, Ill. — about 2,000 miles east. “We were fans of everybody. So it wasn’t like being compared to something you didn’t like. “But at the same time we felt we were so much more sophisticated.” The outspoken frontman also revealed that the mislabeling of the Pumpkins caused him to actively distance himself from that type of music. “That attitude and my reaction to it led a lot to us doing stuff like ‘Tonight, Tonight,’” said Corgan. “Because I knew that nobody in our generation could do [that song]. So that was my ‘you know what’ to everybody.”
