In fact, Smashing Pumpkins became the model for alternative rock success. Corgan was wise enough to exploit his angst-ridden lyrics, yet he never shied away from rock star posturing, even if he did cloak it in allegedly ironic gestures.
Lead guitarist/songwriter Billy Corgan fashioned an amalgam of progressive rock, heavy metal, goth rock, psychedelia, and dream pop, creating a layered, powerful sound driven by swirling, distorted guitars. Of all the major alternative rock bands of the early '90s, Smashing Pumpkins were the group least influenced by traditional underground rock.
