Ein Artikel vom 13. April 2026 thematisiert eine Theorie des Smashing Pumpkins-Sängers Billy Corgan, wonach die CIA in den 1990er Jahren absichtlich die Rockmusik "getötet" habe. Corgan vermutet, dass die CIA in Zusammenarbeit mit MTV die Rockmusik durch weniger Airplay benachteiligte und stattdessen Hip-Hop förderte. Der Grund für diese angebliche Aktion bleibt unklar, wird aber im Kontext anderer Verschwörungstheorien über die CIA diskutiert. Der Artikel spekuliert humorvoll über mögliche Motive, wie die Verhinderung von Gitarrensoli als Freiheitskampf oder die Förderung einer anderen Drogenkultur. Es wird betont, dass Corgan selbst den genauen Grund nicht kennt.
