Billy Corgan Attacks 90’s Grunge Bands: “As far as I’m concerned, fuck them, because they’re lazy or they’re scared. I grew up in a generation that had a message. Where is that message? If it’s going to be subverted by simple economic downturns, then the message wasn’t real at all.”

Corgan singled out one band in particular, Pavement, who actually singled The Smashing Pumpkins out before it was cool, back in 1994, with the song Range Life, which contains the lyrics ‘Out on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins / Nature kids, but they don’t have no function / I don’t understand what they mean and I couldn’t really give a fuck.”
“No better case than Pavement, complaining about me in the ’90s, now doing the greatest hits tour… Why? Ca-ching in. Maybe that’s why they were obsessed with integrity, because they didn’t have any”, Corgan said.

Good ol' Billy, trying to stir up shit to keep what little relevancy he has.
>>61927454
Heh, Bill was never afraid to call out slimebag Stevie whenever he tried to hide his selling out for cash. Seems the 90's never changed.

According to Fuse, who recently interviewed the famous Smashing Pumpkins’ frontman as he does the media circuit following the release of the band’s latest album Oceania, Corgan’s beef stems from the current crazy number of 90’s grunge acts re-forming and re-touring their original brand, cashing in on the profits. In Corgans eyes, this is an absolute affront to the Grunge ideals, telling Fuse: “My point of having a problem with nostalgia acts for the artists that are from the grunge generation is it basically subverts the original meaning of the grunge generation’s music, which is rebellion…So basically, everybody in their 40s are now all phoning in, let’s call it for what it is. And yeah, maybe [they will] put out one new song on the greatest hits album, but it’s not really getting back on the horse.”

>major label rock star complaining about an indie band's lack of integrity
my sides entered orbit

>but they don’t have no function
He clearly says "I- they", not "but they". It was a flubbed line and Billy is still being a little bitch about it.

Is grunge the most ironic genre
>>61928185
What's wrong with this? The only reason Nirvana is influential is for selling out and inspiring others to do so.
>>61928617
Sonic Youth sold out dummy
>>61928617
>>61928892
yep and they both suck. go figure
>>61928934
What a shit opinion
>>61928185
lol yeah nevermind that she literally killed him, let's get mad about his most overrated song being used in a flick!!!
>>61927454
At least Alice in Chains still puts out good music. The only grunge band to still do so. That is why AiC are objectively the best grunge band and Dirt the best grunge album
>>61927685
he pretty correct about it, idk whats wrong with this statement.
unless you guys wanna commit a bunch of logical fallacies in order to do so, in which case i'll watch
>>61927454

>>61927490
Corgan is literally just the type of person to get pissy about this
so wait, billy corgan hates the trend of washed up 90s alt rock bands reforming in the late 00s, often without many of the original members, and making some godawful albums of rehashed, half-assed new material?
funny that

>>61927454
Fuck Billy Corgan. Smashing Pumpkins was a shit band and it seems he's a little posterior perturbed because other bands that were around at the same time are still enjoying success.
Billy's now just a washed up 'who gives a fuck' turning his songs into slam poetry for backyard wrestling that no one gives a fuck about either.
>>61929969
Also, remember that faggot said that "publicly take a stand against moshing"

>>61929387
he feels bad, him having an affair with Courtney is one of the reasons he was going to divorce her, which is why she had him killed
>>61927951
He definitely should shittalk them though
>>61929049
This. I do love me some Nirvana though desu senpai
>>61929460
No, it's the opposite. He hates them reforming to cash in on playing greatest hits.

>>61928185
What does that even have to do with Peter Pan? And doesn't "With the lights out, it's less dangerous" refer to heroin use or something?
>>61929987
Hey, remember that time he watched a girl get crushed to death in a mosh pit in Ireland, yeah I remember that time.

Hey guys, remember that time all the bands that formed in Seattle roughly between the mid 80s and early 90s formed a committee and firmly established what their shared ethics were?
I love Corgan, man, everyone's got opinions, but sometimes quotes like this make me laugh.
>>61927454
Billy Corgan is
(a) A miserable asshole. Always has been.
(b) Still right in this quote.
>>61930864
So what is billy doing then...
