The story

What Is The Smashing Pumpkins: Cherub Rock About?

The premise of The Smashing Pumpkins: Cherub Rock without spoilers.

The video captures the band performing “Cherub Rock” live in a forest setting just outside San Francisco, shot entirely on Super‑8 film with a modest budget. Director Kevin Kerslake used destructive processing techniques, deliberately damaging the film to create a broken, dirty, grainy aesthetic that matches the song’s raw energy.
