Tienen un sonido diverso, densamente escalonado y pesado que se adhiere a un punk influido en filosofía en términos de entrega musical, que contiene elementos de rock gótico, heavy metal, dream pop, rock psicodélico, rock progresivo, shoegazing y electrónica en sus últimas grabaciones.
Smashing Pumpkins irrumpió en el mainstream musical con su segundo álbum, Siamese Dream de 1993. El grupo construyó su audiencia con extensas giras y su seguimiento de 1995, el doble álbum Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, que debutó en el número uno en la lista Billboard 200. Fueron una de las bandas más comercialmente exitosas y aclamadas por la crítica de la década de 1990. Sin embargo, las luchas internas, el uso de drogas y la disminución de las ventas de discos condujeron a su ruptura en 2000.
En 2006, Billy Corgan y Jimmy Chamberlin se reunieron para grabar un nuevo álbum de Smashing Pumpkins, Zeitgeist. La banda se fue de gira con una alineación rotativa de entre cinco y nueve músicos en gran parte de 2007 y 2008 con un nuevo miembro Jeff Schroeder después de que Chamberlin abandonara la banda a principios de 2009. Más tarde ese año, Corgan comenzó una nueva serie de grabación titulada Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, con una alineación rotativa de músicos, que se ha traducido en los álbumes Oceania (2012) y Monuments to an Elegy (2014), y un próximo álbum. A partir de 2015, Corgan y Schroeder son los únicos miembros permanentes de la banda. En junio de 2015 Corgan anunció el regreso de Chamberlin a la banda pero no aclaró si la estancia sería permanente.
