Official Music Video for Today performed by The Smashing Pumpkins.
Corgan said that the plot of the video for "Today" was inspired by a memory he had of an ice cream truck driver who, upon quitting his job, gave out his remaining stock of ice cream to the neighborhood children.

#TheSmashingPumpkins #Today #Remastered
When i was 9 grader, i stole my dad's money to buy this album.
And he knew it.
I miss you Dad
RIP 😪
:( he's still here, look to the stars! Go for a drive and listen to his favorite music.
Every time you here this song know he lives on in your heart
Why steal when you can just ask lol
Kevin Nasty For some people it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission
With the lyric, "today is the greatest day," some listeners misinterpreted this as a hopeful song, when it was just the opposite. Billy Corgan said: "I was really suicidal. I just thought it was funny to write a song that said today is the greatest day of your life because it can't get any worse." ♥
Pa i izgeda suicidalno :/
yes he suffered of deep depression for many yrs..
Same happened with R.E.M in "Shiny happy people". The thing is people couldn't understand it neither because the video, it was a stupid dancing video. 100% sarcasm.
This is the greatest post ever.
I was just listening to that song right before this one and was thinking the same thing. Like, "is sarcasm or irony really that hard for people to understand? No wonder they used to hate playing that song after it went big. None of the people asking them to play it understood what they were asking for."
This video is inspired by a true event. When Billy Corgan was a boy, the local ice cream truck driver got fired and kind of snapped so he ended up giving away all of the ice cream in the truck to young Billy and all the neighborhood kids, all the while ranting "fuck this job!!!" Edit. Source: Today video commentary by Billy on the SP video collection DVD.
Were the people making out in the plains part of that story or the cross-dressing truck-jacker?
I was there for the ice cream.
I wish this made sense
@@boolosboi7503 I doubt it. But ask Billy.
@@VanHellsing12 Was it Mr. Softee?
When I was a kid in the 90s, I befriended another kid. We went to a few pumpkins concert in NYC. We were best friends and blasted SP together all day ,every day. In my 40s now. I lost touch with him over 15 years. I tried finding him for over a decade and couldn't. Pumpkins decided to go on tour 2023. I said gosh would be great to go with my old friend. Ended up finding him through his sisters number in the yellow pages on Saturday. My buddy and I went to SP concert on Wednesday. Finally found him, and I think its due to the magical SP!!!
This is awesome I'm happy for you
Dang, nice to see a story that doesn't end with 'then he died, and every time i hear this song i think of him' or something along those lines like 90% of comments on songs more than 5 years old.
I love this story!
It’s one in Atlanta in August, I’m going to
This may be one of the most heartwarming SP fan stories I've heard. 🖤
90’s rock just hit different. Immeasurably.
It still does.. no worries
Yesss
Yeah like Pantera
deeper groove. 70s and 80s rock sound ,skeleton rhythmic section. pretty sure all rap fans wont enjoy any 70s and 80s rock.
@@dodu8281 Oh contraire mon frere…I do indeed enjoy that era of rock as well as rock.
This song really embodies the feeling of “having nothing specific to be sad about, but also having nothing to be happy about”
To me, it’s the feeling of not knowing if you should be happy or sad.
anxiety
Yeah, It’s about depression and suicidal tendencies.
@@oliverhocking8027 yeah i think we got it
@@Bluegamerful Haha
Phew, this song is getting old, but hell it's still awesome
You have
Who cares if it's old! The 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 is 50 years old, but it's still awesome.
It’s still awesome today
didn't expect to see you here

Born in 1976. Now realizing how fucking lucky I was to have my formative years in the 80's and 90's, thanks in no small part to the amazing MUSIC.
Nací en 1976 y disfrute de un montón de bandas en los ochentas y noventas.

Damn. Three years too early...
Born in 1969...I still ❤️ the 80's 😁
Never gonna kill myself. Not if there's a single person on this planet who loves or depends on me. Today sucks though, I gotta say.
Stay strong, friend

Good luck on your journey bro. Never stop believing.
You got it baby

I don't always listen to the Smashing Pumpkins... but when I do, it's Today.
+James D Stay alive my friends xD
I don't know if this was a reference to a dead meme or a clever pun. I don't know whether to cringe or ask, "Have you listened to the Smashing Pumpkins today?"
Space Woona That was a reference to a commercial with "The most interesting man in the world"; he always says "I don't always drink beer. But when I do, I prefer Dos Equis. Stay thirsty my friends".
+I Don't Know 0123456789 Its the exact way I read it!!
Josh Cannon What?
Although the Smashing Pumpkins are an awesome band, they really suck at their day jobs of being ice cream men and gas station attendants.
tonecot89 they SHOULD quit their day jobs.
tonecot89 I mean, Corgan just let some random people drive off with his van and leave him in the desert. How much better could he get?
Mr. Catcrab Music he also wavved at them.. thats how much better lol
Mr. Catcrab Music You know your a cool guy when that happens.
Not to mention James getting fired from a convenience store TWICE.
If you still listen to this song in 2024.. you know music.
I'll be listening in 2074. Long live the 90s.
@@thegingerpowerranger 🙏🏾 ayee, long live.
Since 1993
Hi
Damn right
So i took this girl i liked out on our first date, had a great time. Ride home this came on., She started singing the chorus out of no where! I fell in love. First and only time i heard her sing lol, we been married for 6 years now.
James Blaze cute
That's beautiful
She will leave you evenually
Ricky Spanish damn that's kinda messed up
I normally hate stories like this because it seems unfair how some people find happiness and others not, but this is a great story
Hard to explain that 90's feeling I get when I hear this.
It was on T.V for such a brief burst.
It’s like euphoria bro
i know exactly what you mean.
I feel you dude
Verdade. Sinto o mesmo e não consigo explicar
One of the best Alternative rock bands ever.
agreed
if not the best...
cant think of many better
+Wayne Evans tell me, i really want to listen more bands like that :-)

they played this song over the PA the last day of my senior year in 1999
Seniors 99 yay
@duckiedale80 people can be jerks )-:
20 years after 1979
For all the kids that failed two times.
I was born 1999
As a person with severe depression, this hits differently. When you're having a good day, it seems like the best day you've ever known.
Thats what I was trying to figure out for myself Thank you
it’s really so weird. while i don’t have depression, i do have a lew of mental anxiety disorders which means much of my days are swallowed by stress and burden basically 24/7. the days that are good are the best days ever. mental health can really humble u fr
😢❤
Me too, brother. Me too
don't have good days , problem solved
“I wanted more then life could ever grant me.”
Very real ass lyrics. Shoutout to my dad in heaven!!
So sorry for your loss. My condolences RIP
Thank you not looking for sympathy my bad just always thought that was a great lyric. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
RIP

Just a few hours until my 42 birthday...
And this is still the best song I’ve ever heard
Persca99 I'll be 42 on Valentine's Day. We are of the same era, spoiled by ridiculously good music during our teenage years.
I just hit 41 last Oct. Hope you had a nice birthday, and this is such a gem of a tune/era. ✌
@@wheelz23 it is bro. I mean, say it with me, "The 90's should NEVER have ended!"
@@peetah_gryffyn the time is still alive every time you step into my ride. Time warp.

Thumbs up if you think Smashing Pumpkins was one of the greatest bands.
ChefGiovanni me bro

:-)
ChefGiovanni my dad knew them in collage
Dude, your dad is cool ! I saw them live a few times before they were played on the radio !
i remember wearing my 'mission to mars' tshirt in 6th grade in my little home town of KY, 30+ years ago. it eventually disintegrated from use.
Hey, did not expect my favorite teacher would be here. Thanks for helping me all throughout my Engineering school.
Same here. 6th grade 92. What a time to be alive. Glad I was there at that time!
He'll yea
Today is my birthday, and i have nobody to share it with. Except for the smashing pumpkins. Love you guys.
Happy Birthday
i'm always alone on my birthday, too, ever since I was 17 or 18, a long time ago. I used to have to work every birthday (always had 2 or 3 job) which was good because then I wasn't home alone. But now I can't work, so...
However, I'm very lucky to have a wonderful cat (had 2 but one died after only having her a year) who keeps me company and is always near me. Otherwise I'd have no one. I hope you are able to make a friend or 2, or get a cat. They truly save lives.
Happy belated birthday, fellow SP fan!
Happy late birthday!
Today is my Birthday , and I sit here all alone ! just wanted to share with you Nokle.
Smashing Pumpkins, thank you for once again making me feel happy enough to get up after another miserable day in high school.
It'll get better someday. But at least you got great music to get you through and I know how it feels, I'm in high school too
This song is totally about suicide though. Billy Corgan was fucking insane with depression.
Well the music might be depressing but like...I can't explain it but no matter what a song is about if a song is good it just...carries you through...
Jaylie Bathory It totally is. It's about how things can't get any worse and that he just wants to give up it all to so he doesn't have to be what everyone wants him to be. It also conjures the feeling people get when they have completely given up hope, and that you've accepted your fate, that of suicide and are actually happy that things are ending. It's the most upbeat sad song in existence to me. I love it, but I understand completely what Billy Corgan was going through when he wrote the song.
"You're not the only one whose life is a piece shit, but somehow miraculously we all seem to deal with it."
Please tell me that ice cream truck is in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame or a Hard Rock property somewhere. Iconic!!!!
I hope too.
They don't have this but they probably have Angus Young's catheter somewhere in there. The Hall Of Fame is a joke
Right?!

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known
For me, this song means being so sick of life, you cant help but laugh at how absurd it is... depression, anxiety everything in one happening at the same time, you cannot help but sing a song like this
EXACTLY 💯
Totally agree. Listening to this song helps me feel grateful that I am still here.
When I was young, my dad was diagnosed with Hepatitis C and Liver Disease. He was given a 15% chance to live. The day he found out, he came home, decided to drink one last time, blared this album on our home stereo, and cried. I remember feeling heartbroken despite not really knowing what was going on and crying with him. His will to live and perseverance saw him through a grueling chemotherapy regimen and he's still here fifteen years later, but I'll always think about that day when I listen to this song.
Its amazing to know he’s doing better
I'm glad he's still here. Eventually we gottta die but it's good you got that time
Wow Kat this has truly hit home 🏡 with me on a number of levels I'll keep this short but I have stage 4 liver disease and should have been gone 7 years back though since December losing dad and now all memories of my family's life and dealing with two younger sibs that are as useless as tits on a bull I feel I'm headed to the end but there's more to my picture but I'm very glad to hear your dad is ok now and I wish I had kids and a wife though that's life and now about to hit 50 in a few weeks I'm glad I made it this far but now about to have another cold sweet beverage and yes I do understand what I'm doing but all will be fine and a big Merry Christmas 🎄 ⛄ from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺🦘🤗
Good for him and you bruddah
Omg that made me cry. So glad your dads still here!

try this one , a new breed of alternative grunge
Thank you. It makes sense now
Such a beautiful and sad song. I've always thought it was about suicide. I could be wrong
@@dancourier8408 billie corgan just wrote it in an ironical way, because he was suicidal and thought today is the greatest day, it can't get any worse
listen to this indie band called The Impures, they have a song out "threats"
Despite the lyrical ground being about depression and suicide tendencies, the whole concept of the lyrics approaches inspiration and hope, telling people to always look into the good side of the shit to find strenght (specially when things can't go any worse), and not to contemplate or romanticize suicide.
"I'll tear my heart out before I give up" indeed, as someone who deals with suicidal ideation, yeah...I've loved this album since I was 13 (I'm 36 now) I don't think I really understood it back then but now it sure hits different
Eloquently said
Could be worse...
Just whenever I'd say it couldn't, life could.
Appreciate the lesson and struggle.
Grow thru what we go thru.
Bloom anywhere
#beeblessed
This song has NOTHING to do with suicide or depression.. its about the damn ice cream man giving corgan all the ice cream in his truck when he was a kid.
@@VapnFagan You described the vídeo, not the lyrics.
🥺 I was 9 when I heard this
First concert I went to as a kid was these guys. People forget they were the biggest band in the world at one point.
I'm seeing you everywhere
Sick bro nice going back to some nostalgia
didn’t expect to see you here Dev. song is legendary
Technically would it be the first time you heard it since your listening to it now
My little brother passes away yesterday, I remember he loved this band when he was a kid! He was 23 years old but had an old soul, he found a smashing pumpkins album at our public library when he was 8 and would listen to them non stop from there on out, love you m.j. It’s only been a day yet feels way to long already.. love you brother!
I’m sorry for your loss! My thoughts and prayers go out to u and ur family
your brother is watching over you smiling, you’re keeping him alive by telling us about him!
My heart is broken for you. I can’t fathom your loss, so I won’t pretend like I do. I wish you and your family and friends well and hope you find your way through this.
Little do you know I'm your brother too, brother. God bless
So sorry for your loss, your brother had amazing taste in music. I love my older brother so much, can’t imagine what you’re going through. Stay strong ❤️
These videos always confuse me unless I have Beavis and Butthead to explain them to me.
Yes indeed, very underrated comment.
Those were the days
Haha. They come up with the most ridiculous stuff to explain haha.
Raymond Kidwell yeah. Otherwise it’s just like your on drugs.
Lots of people needed B& BH to explain it to them. I just laughed my ass off like Ren & Stimpy :)

Then I got with my friend's hot sister. He didn't mind. Then I got with her friend... shhh, it's still a secret!!
I used to record all the music videos on MTV when I was 13. This one included. Brings back a flood of memories of when my innocence was taken away by pre-adulthood. Those are the best memories. My son is now the age I was when I discovered this band/music and it absolutely blows my mind. Named him Kurt. I'll let you guess why.
You were a wrestling fan?
Ah I know! Because of the lead singer of weezer!
Kurt Cobain
This song helped a lot of us through some tough shit. Shit you don't normally come back from. Thank you Billy Corgan and Smashing Pumpkins for this music. BTW, that ice cream truck driver provided joy to a lot of kids, just like you provide joy to all of us loyal fans. Thank you for your music, you played a part in saving my life
My friend said it's about meeting satan. Burning his eyes out, he can't get out of hell, bruised wings, his ambitions stink and so forth.
Amen to that
Just a reminder for everyone who needs it to get help. You can talk to a therapist or psychologist. You can also text a free mental health helpline. Hope everyone is doing well.
It's amazing how music is powerful enough to change and even save lives
mhm...attention seeker
Your search “Billy Corgan with hair” did not match any results
Did you mean _Gerard Way?_
Thank you for this comment! Especially when he sticks his head out of the ice cream truck!!
@@madisonfirth underrated response lol
My thoughts exactly! Like I’m in shock at how similar they look!
i just think it’s also kinda funny that Gerard said that they wanted MCR’s breakup to be like the Smashing Pumpkins’ breakup
_I've been thinking this since I first saw a picture of Billy with hair._
i play this when im having a terrible day.

Such a gay comment to come across.
This song make me feel like a teenager again.
Hi I Recommend a song that's called 'Life changes' By Robert Nix
"I wanted more, Than life could ever grant me", resonated down throughout my spine
Hi I recommend checking out a song Called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
Totally!
Exactly me too! That line was me at 18...I did everything to fight for for more and more and more until one day I sold it all and gave the rest away to try things a new way. I felt maybe I wanted too much of the wrong things. I was wrong. Nothing wring with wanting. It's good to want things. Keeps u determined.
Yeah, I only noticed this (albeit many years ago) when someone said this to me and then I listened more closely to the lyrics. He's relieved, comforted and finally happy bc he's ending his life that night via suicide. Made me feel dumb after I was told that, bc the lyrics couldn't be more unambiguous in that regard (once u know, I suppose)
“My belly stings”. We all know that feeling, when you have a stomach knot due to your depression.
Now that I realise it, the intro riff sounds like an ice cream truck.
😂
What ice cream trucks did you grow up around.......? I wish I had lived there..... Lol

It breaks my heart to see the likes of Billie Eilish winning awards for “alternative rock”. Nothing against her, the term means nothing anymore. I miss rock and roll
She won an award for alternative rock ? Lol
Skating Polly, Screaming Females, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Courtney Barnett, Idles, King Gizzard and the Lizzard Wizard.
Good rock music is still out there. You just have to look for it.
im a fan of billie but id class her as just alternative and not rock by anymeans lol
To be fair you don't hear a lot of rock on the radio nowadays so her music is probably one of the closest to "alt rock" around now because it's weird and not the normal music. I feel like Foo Fighters are one of the last real (active) popular rock bands around due to how music has evolved in such a new direction. That said this song is always a flashback to 1995
@mo jo yeah stupid Bach and Mozart figuring out they can make money off music!
Who’s in 2024?
So many memories of this band and life. When serving in the Army (UK) (99-06) I used to blast their albums out all the time in barracks and people would always ask who they were. A great guy I looked up to Cpl Fordham never returned one of the cds of theirs I leant him haha but I don't care, it's a memory made in time. Great band. Great times. Music and photographs are the best for remembering moments in time ❤
And yes he still has it, hence the memories. We are now miles and miles apart but forever bonded together by our time in the Forces and this great song/album
i can relate. sea cadets
Platinum That's pretty gay.
Thank you for your service and great music taste.
Music, photographs and smells
This is always such a great song to listen to when you're uncertain about life, or tomorrow. Anytime I feel pain, whether it's health-related or psychological, anytime I don't know what tomorrow holds, anytime I have to face the adversities of life, this song is just a good place to be. The lyrics just hit home.
actually found this song from my youth 2 wks ago & it came on the night that one my longtime foster dogs finally found a home.. he was riddled with health issues & this was so amazing & heartwarming. ❤️ unfortunatley, this song is even more bittersweet- he died a day later.. 😓😓😓

Isn't health related and psychological the same thing?

Cyanea Me!!! and honestly... I prefer the movie version!! I loved that movie!
Me... i love this song!
Cyanea The Smashing Pumpkins are one of the most famous bands from the 90s. It's cool if you came from a 2014 movie I guess ha, but most people I would say become aware of the band just from the music itself. They are on the radio a lot. Check them out. They have tons of great songs.
fucking teenagers...
I came here because of my childhood my mom played this to me since she listened to stuff like this since she was a teen in the 90s and she loves this music and so do I, not some movie.
Anyone Listening in 2019?

Here..✌
Yep
HELL YEAH!!

30 years and still love this song and teenage innocent memories...
College memories for me!! Such carefree days! The Gen X kids out in a world of possibilities, on our own and doing our own thing! A great time to be alive!
This song always makes me feel a rush of emotion. It's beautiful and timeless.

Strange. Just strange.
nostalgic too even when it first released. even though it still feels fresh/refreshing to this day. they seriously had great talent for evocative harmony as a band.
I get that same rush every time I hear this song as well. It is amazing how much emotion is in their music
I was 6 when this song came out. I get what you mean.
His voice is so unique
Hi I recommend an indie song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
@@redskies4530 **@wreckk
I need to do a cover of one of his songs cause I can sound almost just like him.
It’s very…pixies
Have you heard it now 🫠…sucks getting old
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I've never known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known
FUCKIN LOVE YOU THANKS FOR ALL THE PPL WHO POST THE LYRICS JESUS LOVE YA
Dead Kid you aren't special
Dead Kid i
"My belly stings" I feel that.
I lost my virginity to this song back in 1996
Ok?😅
My condolences
@@gxbrxxl9626 why??? I chose it and it was the best day of my life and we are actually married now with 4 kids. So do I need your condolences?? Not so much 🖕🏼
it was is the greatest day
@@lowlife5725 it was but the condom broke 🫤
Hey kids, the 90's were the best years for rock and rap!
nah, youre not searching good enough. there are a lot of good bands out now, like thee oh sees and ty segall
jordan gates rap absolutely sucks... No singing just a bunch of digital crappy beats with someone talking crap
Thomas Cusik that’s pretty much mainstream rap nowadays but back then it didnt
Ha Jordan I think I see what you are saying man. The first rappers were better...DMC....Ice-T.....Snoop Dogg.....Tupac.... okay I'll buy that, fare enough guy. Too bad those guy's music was so serious to them. I mean look how many of those guys killed each other. Biggie....gone....Tupac gone....and a bunch of guys in prison. That's probably some of my reason for not liking rap. But really I just don't think it's good music, buy of course I know millions of people love it. To each his own. I've been playing guitar for over 50 years. Since I grew up in the 70's and 80's pretty much. You know... Zeppelin.... The Who.... Stones, Bad Co.....Rush....UFO.....you see rock and roll. So I learned that kinda stuff on guitar. There wasn't much rap back then. On another subject....read John 3:3-6 in the Bible. That piece of scripture changed my life in 1981. I didn't know that Jesus said that. I invited Him into my heart 💓 and have had a relationship with Him and The Father by The Holy Spirit living in my heart. My sins won't be counted against me because I have received forgiveness for them. I still am a sinner and need forgiveness all the time. But at least I don't fear death anyone because He promises eternal life in heaven and in my heart I know I will make it there, plus He helps me in my life here until I die. I know that's a lot to say to you about God, but someone took the time in 1981 to tell me and now I'm doing it for you. I didn't plan on saying any of this. It just happened. So I know God must have known that you needed to hear this. I'm just a messenger. I hope you can receive this with an open heart. God loves you more than you and I can even comprehend. A lot of people think they know God but they are still dead in their sins. Okay....I'm done. Check out a song called Rushing Wind...by Keith Green. That song is touching to the heart. No more rap friend. Try Michael Schenker.
@@bradleypezy6394 Why is there always one of you in these comments? "Nah man...there is music just as good now." NO THERE ISN'T. The bands you just named...are very bland and are not as good as this.
Strange that rock is dead. There is unfulfilled demand right now for this type of music.
Couldn’t agree more

We're lucky that we can still access it whenever we want. Time does not dim greatness and it will return.

thanks :)
I thought it was BECK-LOSER...nah only joking....
That makes no sense.
Can't believe its over 30 years since this song was released in September 1993 - where did all the time go??
All the memories and people which have passed away
People need to normalize talking about how the song cuts out at the beginning so we don’t all think our headphones are broken
Thank you for this otherwise I would have had no idea lol
Thankd
Exactly 😂
I thought my AirPods died bro
Haha
Best song about suicide ideation ever.
Today is the greatest day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow I might not have that long.
Don't do it! How are you feeling now?
Stay Strong. ❤

"I entered into this really horrible part of my life. At one point, I ended up sleeping on D'arcy’s floor. I lived in a parking garage for a while. I was completely obsessed with killing myself; it became my primary preoccupation. Out of the depths of this despair, I bottomed out, and it literally came down to a simple decision: either kill yourself or get used to it, work, live and be happy. So I wrote this song... As you can see I chose another kind of death which is rock n' roll... At this point in my life, it's a positive song; it's about survival." -Billy Corgan
"get used to it"? not very healthy way of resolving or coping. Better to seek professional counseling
yayayaya cocococo Yeah? What amazing songs have you written again?
yayayaya cocococo the first thing they’ll tell you when you get professional help is to recognize what your feeling and not to let those invasive thoughts consume you and rather make them more passive (ofc this is just my experience) so “getting used to it” is not a terrible coping mechanism at all it beats cutting or drugs
Alright let me interject here for a second.
Everyone's coping mechanisms are different as you develop them throughout your life. Obviously - or so I hope - it's better to eventually deal with your feelings and confront them rather than to bottle things up indefinitely until you can't bear them anymore.
"Getting used to it" is part of what people might do to cope for a while, but using someone that managed to barely escape suicide by using music to cope and deal with things as proof of no other (potentially healthier) method to deal with things is pretty narrowminded.
If any of you or anyone reading this is feeling suicidal, please get professional help! There are healthy and unhealthy ways to deal with your feelings and, as sadly advocated for here, bottling them up forever is leaning to the unhealthy side. Feeling bad is okay and you're far from alone for feeling that way. Please talk to someone :)
@@Jepysauce Jeremy spoke in class today lol
Why was the music censored at 0:10
Just for the video, same way that the crowd noise stays in for Nirvana’s “In Bloom” music video
lol i always thought it was just no noise
Bro wants the noise for special reasons 🍼
The music represents a thought and the thought is stopped by the people making out. So he moves and hav his thought
today is the greatest song ever known
*pours a shot of you - proceeds to drink shot. repeats.*

This isn't the best song in the world.

The first 40 seconds of this song is something that will never be surpassed.

luke73tnt why
not that big of a deal for me actually
You must not like ice cream.
Alison Sanches Krinski She/he is talking about the music, not the video. So that person is more focused on watching than listening.
I remember watching this as a kid. Loved it of course.
Then I grew up. I'm almost 41. Never knew until like10 years ago that Billy wrote this while suicidal.
Been there at least 4 times ready to go. My life hasn't gotten better.
I will tell you all two things: 1. Music literally saved my life because I was distracted by singing along and memorizing lyrics.
2. I love my cats.
Make fun of me all ya want, but depression, hardcore addiction, abuse, wtf-ever else has tried but I "cannot be killed by conventional means" (like so many of us).
I'm trying.
"The only failure is not to try."
@vwvwvhauntwvwvwwvwvwvwvwv8646
Naa? Misread what I wrote much? What I said (summarized) pretty much was that most (that I've known) suicidal people and ones that have been is that we/they all DO try to push on at some point at least.
Honey, been there 4 times cuz I "had enough". You're preaching to the choir.
Instead of getting all testy, next time read and comprehend. You and I were talking about the same damn thing. I hope the surgery to get the stick outta your ass goes well. Peace.
I don't know what traumas and challenges you've experienced, and I want to offer some enlightening advice, but I genuinely don't feel like I'm in the position to offer anything. I would argue to change your perspective, but that only works for me because I'm not suffering too hard right now (college kid, living at home with folks).
That's not to say I haven't been severely depressed before, but luckily a change in schools helped a lot. Unfortunately, it's not usually that easy to get out of the rut. I was scared to make change because of the uncertainty, but realized that I didn't really have many friends to begin with, so what's the worst that can happen? More bullying? Not likely since literally the entire grade was new (the school had just opened a middle school at the time)
I currently have an addiction as well (video games). Luckily my poison of choice isn't something I'm chemically dependent on, so I'm grateful for that.
When it comes to addiction, I'd recommend maybe winging yourself off of your drug of choice (unless you're clean, congrats, and ignore thi) and letting those around you be aware of your issues and tell them that you have a plan and ask them to monitor you closely, so you don't relapse. I've been in situations where I'm like "I've done a good job, let me play for an hour" and realize I just spent all day online. I need my folks to moderate my behavior so I don't 'overdose'. I watch RUclips and write programs to prevent relapse
regardless, hope your life gets better : )
@@popcultureprogrammer2171
Oh man, I don't know where to begin.
First of all--Thank you for your comment. It shows empathy, and we all sure as hell need more of that.
There are a couple things though...
My drug of choice with video games has to be Mario Bros. 3 on original NES, haha. Showing my age here.
I'm not quite sure what withdrawal from video games would be like, but any addict will tell you this--Be happy it's not drugs.
*Please do not suggest "winging it" to get off chemicals though. This is dangerous. Withdrawal from a whole assortment of things can kill you. I've been there. Weaning is the best. I've lost enough friends.
Enjoy the living at home thing, it won't last. And college... well I was forced to go to community college by my parental units. I preferred to work instead. Back in those days jobs were easier to find. I went to that college, but would just leave. Then four planes were hijacked and all our lives changed. No more fake going to school. I cut my folks off years ago, no contact. Clueless to this day as to why they even had kids. So be happy you don't have to worry if you'll have a place to sleep tonight.
I don't really know what to say to ya though, you're so young. I haven't talked to anyone your age in decades. I could be old enough to be your mom maybe (41 today).
I worry for the younger generations. You guys missed out on so much. I never had kids so I don't really know the "adult" advice to give ya.
I just want you to be strong, happy and don't let the world get ya down (too much). We all need you young folks.
Anyways, I did get off my drug of choice (heroin) like 4ish years ago when fentanyl took over. Shit's not worth it. But when you're 41 and have been chemically dependent since age 13 your brain and body change. I will never be fully "sober", nor do I want to be. Some people just truly need the help of meds.
One bit of advice I can give ya with your video game issue, I would try to start to swap that out a bit (wean!) with something else you like so you're not playing as much. And don't ever beat yourself up if you slip. Relapse is part of recovery.
Thank you for talking to me. You seem like a good egg. Back to my B-Day Breakfast Beer. I'm rooting for you.--C
Hey! Know that you are loved! Keep on listenin to the music. Keep putting one foot in front of the other!
I understand that been there my slelf. Glad your still with us
As someone who has had his fair share of mental issues and zero ability to find a partner, I can relate. And ice cream is delicious
That sounds exactly like me
Don't worry king , your queen awaits just don't give up
I'm glad you got this part of the video.
@@MaliciousChickenAgenda My girl says> MAYBE change your agenda.

The 90's should have never ended....
💘😒
My husband and I were in our early 20s when this was released and we played this song a lot. We saw Smashing Pumpkins perform at Lallapaloosa '93. It was a time of being young, poor college students where the big night out was going to a house party. Now I'm in my 50s, living a comfortable life, but hearing this song makes me miss my husband. He passed away a couple of years ago after 28 years of being together.

@@RJStockton really? how long have you been out?
Sorry for your loss, this is unrelated, but How many children do you have.
Sorry for your loss.
May he rest in peace.
Every time I hear this song it takes me back to first day freshman year it’s so awesome how music can almost be a Time Machine
Music is totally a time machine!
Same!
Ima a freshman and im listening to it 🔥
i think im gonna start listening to this band seriously
Weezer Fanatic you're just now starting to think about listening to them? OMG.
haha!!! me too
They're one of my favorite bands. People shit on their newer stuff but I don't mind it.
I used to play guitar hero world tour when I was like 10 one of their songs was on there one of my favorites I went and searched them up on RUclips and listened to this song loved it I then spent the next couple hours listening to song after song and I couldn't find one I didn't like so that along with my mom introducing me to nirvana (another band that every song I love) pushed me into falling in love with alternative rock before then I didn't really know what I liked musically but i really found myself in the early nineties alt-rock scene which then expanded into every other form of rock/metal/punk now at 17 years old I'm a guitarist and an avid music lover...
Nomad 17 nice story my dude.
Very sarcastic song
Love this song...and Gerard Way really looked like Billy
They even sound alike
kindadone yess..their voices are unique..
For a long time billy said that gerard was his son. (which doesn't make that much sense considering billy is only 10 years older than him). But a lot of people believed him, and it was pretty funny.
I am not joking. This song was the first song that came on when my husband and I finally took our daughter home from NICU. I will never forget.
the most shocking thing about this video is to see Billy with hair
Wilson Vinicius nigga still bald
things were from bad to worse ever since
Billy was so cute back in the day...
devsox1 *nods and high fives you*
devsox1 No.
Yesssss 😍😍❤️❤️
devsox1 He's still cute.
devsox1 Weren't we all.
painting random shit was extremely cool in the 90's.
Don't forget men wearing dresses!
Hero Fancett don’t forget hair!
what the f haha lmao..
So was having a normal, natural body apparently. Now I really miss that shit
Haha Yeah you can imagine them sitting around stoned af discussing how to make a budget but cool music vid. Lets just throw paint at an old ice cream truck and get people having threeways in a field. Done.
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow
Tomorrow's much too long
Hearing those words for the first time 10 years ago spoke so deeply to me. I didn't know what was wrong, but this song helped me figure it out.
I know it's a common thing to say, but I REALLY prefer this song without the film clip. Something about being a 13 yr old kid up late at night near the beach, listening to the radio, having no idea who this was was.... it was just this amazing song that came from somewhere outside the room where I was stuck. The other side of the world, or just down the street, around a corner, over on the beach somewhere where a group of kids might have a camp fire. There was mystery in it, nostalgia for a time that hadn't even passed yet, but no effort to hold onto the past. If that even makes sense. It's the kind of song I should never have heard again, yet I would have never forgotten it, it would be part of the entirely different universe you look back on when you've grown up, the evocative. No, bald billy in an ice cream truck is not what I was thinking
wow the entitlement...everything was fine until : "No, bald billy in an ice cream truck is not what I was thinking" first of all in this video he had hair... secondly, if you're going to speak on other peoples personal appearance, maybe you could lay off the bacon cheeseburgers? just sayin'
Once the music enters your ear drums you own it. No video can ever supplement your own constructs lest you allow or prefer such.
tosgem
Does not compute. Nostalgia is a fondness for the past.
right, but I think the op is describing something that is beyond the grasp of the person who's experiencing it, like a longing, a feeling that you can't really pinpoint, but is tied up in a child's associations/imprinting of fond memories from his/her own past, and sort of relating a notion that "there's something out there" that you had in the past to the present, because you're feeling it again. hard to put into words, but "nostalgia for a time that hadn't even passed yet" effectively evokes it for me. I think it's what CS Lewis called "joy." one quibble: Billy isn't bald in this one, lol. that would be the next album cycle (first album-long hair, this album-shot, third and beyond- uncle fester/powder/nosferatu).
Me: "Billy Corgan looks like Gerard Way."
Mom: "That's who I thought it was for a second."
i always think of the story gerard told about when he was younger and had a shaved head and went to a smashing pumpkins concert and everybody kept running up and trying to get his autograph XD
Thank you Guitar Hero for showing me what good music really is.
Don’t you mean, rock band???
Slayor777 no he means Guitar Hero
Point made thank you
True
Guitar world tour!
What's with the people running up the hill at the end..
For some reason when I think about my childhood in the 90's I picture everything in this color palette
Very true i know exactly what you mean as weird as it seems
lucky you to be able to live during those times
Or interstate lovesong or Gold soundz or any ramdon 90's rockband videoclip
One of the best songs I ever listened to when growing up in the 90s.
Smashing pumpkins will live a long time with me
the song came out in 93 but yeah its a great song
lol i was 13 then
michael ju Shut up, Ju.
michael ju the smashing pumpkins did still exist in the 80s so go do one.
This song is my fav song from growing up so how is that being an attention seeker?
You know what Hypocrite means? Look in the mirror and ull find out.
MaNiAc GAMING penis and vaginas are in my rrom with my vaginas
This song makes me so nostalgic about the nineties, I can remember it now, shitting in my diaper, crying loudly for no reason at all, not being able to speak. It was grunge as fuck.
Christ, you make me feel old!
It was only grunge if your diaper was made of flannel:)

I love how when u think the vocals r gonna get harsher, corgan just stays with the chill vibe it sounds so good against the harder music
Hell yeah I love it
Hi I Recommend Taking a listen to a song called 'Don't Lie To me' By Robert Nix
Fr I was thinking the opposite for soma I love how satisfyingly predictable some songs can be in the best sense I could put it
Yeah i agree with you the song building up on this is crazy mellow voice when you're expecting harder vocal at the end❤
The very definition of bitter sweet
Jake Rothstein nice one line dude!
Mmm tastes like teen spirit to me. How'd you taste bittersweet?
My first SA was to this song. Bittersweet indeed
billy the bittersweet ice cream man
You must not have ever heard a symphony, if you think this is "like" one.
i'm 15 and I love this song and this band with all my heart. They are deffo one of my fav bands of all time. I got into bands like Nirvana and Alice in chains and then I found out about The smashing pumpkins. and ever since then I cant stop listening.
Go check out silverchair u got same taste as me tommorow is a gem
Check out the cure - they’re are always great…Doing the Unstuck is awesome!!
Check out skinny puppy (Worlock) and tones on tail (Go!, Christian Says) those two are more a little underground from that era.
Lol yuuup, that was me at 15
Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins.... with some Deftones mixed in lol
Good times! Glad to see the younger people liking the "oldies" music lol
Check out Stone Temple Pilots too 😄
Also check Jane's Addiction and the Pixies and Hole and L7 and Babes in Toyland and Bikini Kill, and Skinny Puppy and Frontline Assembly too. And James.
The volume is way too low on this video for me to like it. What happened?
If you are watching it on your phone then it is because a phone uses mono sound which isn't all that great.
It's called dynamics. Turn it up.
randomvids1231000 lol is it a phone from 2001? phones have stereo sound and even if they were mono that in and of itself wouldn't have any effect on the volume. vevo just made a shitty upload.
+randomvids1231000 Actually it's too low on my laptop with headphones and an amp. Compared to the standard studio version the sound quality isn't the best when the guitar kicks in.
