I can hear the similarities. It wouldn't doubt me if there was some inspiration. The song sounds very shoegazey with a mid-90s alternative spin.
While these songs are 80's, so don't have that 90's alternative sound, you might dig the Shoegaze genre if you like layers of distorted guitars:
1987 - My Bloody Valentine, this is one of their early songs where they went with that sort of big/sublime sounding heaviness.
1989 - this one's by Lush, it's a bit more arty with the guitar.
Here's an arty sounding MBV song from 1988.
These ones a bit more 90's sounding when alternative bands began to clean up their sound a little more:
Loveless is My Bloody Valentine's signature album (and they used something like 90 layers of guitar) from 1991:
Superblast is a 1991 single from their signature album Spooky. 91 was probably the year Shoegaze peaked, and unfortunately it fell pretty quickly afterward, but left a lasting impact on 1990s alternative music - which I'd say is 1 part noise-pop (That's the "Pixies" genre), 1 part grunge, and 1 part shoegaze. Speaking of Pixies, Lush and Pixies were both on the same label "4AD" and shared the same album cover artist, the late Vaughan Oliver.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
