The musicians emerged at a pivotal moment for alternative music and grunge: Corgan alongside The Smashing Pumpkins and Cobain as the frontman and vocalist for Nirvana . Both groups achieved great commercial success and were considered part of the vanguard of the musical movement that was brewing at the time.

Now, in a recent interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1 , Corgan has opened up about Cobain's death, not only confessing that he cried, but also that he felt he had lost "a great opponent" . The musician said, "I want to beat the best. I don't like winning the competition because it's just me and a bunch of idiots."

On the other hand, he revealed that he thinks there would be a lot less "trash music" coming out if Kurt was still alive. " I like to think that a lot of the trash music that came after his death would not have existed if he had been around to criticize it, " Corgan said, adding: "Because he had the moral position to kill generations with his writing," he concluded. .
