Billy Corgan has made a surprising revelation about the future of Smashing Pumpkins’ music. He shared the news during a live broadcast on Substack, where he spoke directly to fans about the band’s current status and prospects for new material.

The unexpected announcement has left listeners questioning whether his words were serious or delivered in jest. “Currently, there is no new music. Sorry. Chrome Jets is it. Sayonara, new music,” Corgan stated. “Someday I’ll tell you the real story.”

He went on to emphasize his point about the band’s creative direction: “There’s no album in the works. There’s no music,” he continued. “It’s the end of the rainbow, man. That’s it. No more new music.”

The bluntness of this statement has sparked uncertainty among fans about whether it marks a genuine end to new Smashing Pumpkins projects or is simply another one of Corgan’s provocative pronouncements. The timing and manner of delivery have fueled debate within the fan community about his true intentions.

While fans wrestle with the implications of his words, Corgan’s recent activities suggest he remains deeply tied to the band’s legacy—even if new material may no longer be in the pipeline. Alternative Nation noted that although Corgan has previously indicated nothing was “currently” in progress, he had not gone as far as to declare the complete end of new work.

This ambiguity, common in his public statements, continues to leave fans guessing. Icon Vs Icon reported that Corgan is simultaneously pursuing a new solo project, Billy Corgan and The Machines of God, which will celebrate the 30th anniversaries of classic Smashing Pumpkins albums. A U.S. tour titled A Return To Zero is set to begin in June 2025.

According to USA Today, the tour will feature landmark songs from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, selections from the Machina albums, and other highlights. In doing so, Corgan demonstrates his enduring commitment to performing, even as the prospect of new Smashing Pumpkins recordings appears to fade.

This contrast—between Corgan’s stark claim of “no more new music” and his ongoing performance plans—creates a compelling tension. Whether this marks a permanent shift in his artistic focus or a temporary pause remains unclear. Fans continue to dissect every word from the enigmatic frontman, hoping to understand what lies ahead.

Billy Corgan recently offered his thoughts on the adult film industry, sharing concerns about systemic exploitation and the psychological dynamics of consumption during his appearance on the Club Random Podcast.

The Smashing Pumpkins frontman argued that some industries profit from exploiting human nature. “There are systems in place that want to exploit human decency. In essence, if you can separate a human from their own decency, well, there’s a lot of money to be made. You know, p*rn is a perfect example,” Corgan said.

He further explained his personal views on the industry and clarified his stance on consumption.

“I’m not saying it’s evil. What I’m saying is p*rn on some level requires a dissociative frame of mind to enjoy it. I don’t watch p*rn. I don’t believe in watching p*rn. My point was it requires a level of disassociation. In essence, you have to on some level disassociate that this is a human being who may or may not be in that position for all the wrong reasons. Maybe it’s all the right reasons. I’m friends with a very famous porn star who did it purposely, intentionally, and is not is not damaged by it,” he continued.

Corgan also referred to statistics reflecting the industry’s digital expansion. “I don’t know if this is accurate, but this is like sort of anecdotal. I heard somebody talking recently. They were saying with with the numbers on Only Fans that they estimate that 1.4% of the population of the United States is now doing p*rn,” he noted.

His remarks tie into a broader interest in how modern industries and technology shape society and individual psychology. Over time, Corgan has become more outspoken about cultural change and its psychological effects.

According to Fortune, he recently launched a weekly interview podcast, The Magnificent Others, where he explores cultural trends and the future of media. This format allows him to expand on his observations of how industries influence human behavior. His conversation on Club Random emphasized not only exploitation within adult entertainment but also broader technological disruptions across entertainment.

As YouTube documented, he connected these issues to the wider shifts in content creation and consumption, including challenges posed by AI and digital platforms. Corgan’s reflections on dissociation and decency extend beyond adult film into questions about how digital culture is reshaping human interaction. Player FM highlighted that the Club Random Podcast frequently explores how technology and media consumption affect psychological health and social connections.

Corgan’s comments also resonate in the context of platforms like OnlyFans, which have significantly expanded the adult creator economy. His mention of the 1.4% statistic underscores ongoing public conversations about the normalization of adult content as a mainstream income source—especially among younger people facing economic pressures.

These remarks were part of his Club Random Podcast appearance, where he touched on multiple issues related to society, culture, and human behavior.

Speaking to Jen Eckert of Soundcheck in a recent conversation, Billy Corgan discussed how Smashing Pumpkins dedicated itself to the survival of rock music.

The ‘1979’ singer initially talked about the shift that digitalization brought to the music industry, saying:

“We’ve faced a sort of economic, cultural change with music going digital that really changed the unbroken narrative for about a hundred years of how people released and consumed music. And the fact that catalogs are more present with the click of a button, I think, puts bands in a different situation as far as how to reach an audience.”

Referring to the importance of innovation in rock music, Corgan continued:

“So I think there’s less emphasis in rock on innovation and more on sort of keeping your spot — my own band aside, where we’ve kind of pushed to continually innovate, even at the dismay of our fans. So it’s hard to say. Yeah, it hasn’t really evolved the way it would’ve, but that would’ve required a different world.”

The rocker returned to the issue of digital media and explained:

“And, obviously, when the Internet became the thing, when digital media became the thing, it changed everything — it changed journalism, it changed politics. So it’s to be expected.”

Billy also reflected on the rise of alternative music, stating:

“When the alternative thing started, it was kind of very much from the underground. So the first wave of it was, like, ‘Who’s in? Who’s out?’ And then there seemed to come this second wave. And we, as the first wave, kind of looked around and said, ‘Who are all these other bands and where are they coming from?'”

He lastly added:

“Of course, it was a generational moment, and it was to be expected, but at the time, it seemed like a bunch of people jumped into grunge, flannel shirts, and suddenly everybody’s rocking out and kind of doing what we were doing only a few years before. So we treated, I think, people in that second and third wave as sort of interlopers.”

In other news, Corgan has been on the road with his band since late July for their North American summer tour. They have a few dates left, as the final show will take place on September 9.
