Billy Corgan says rock didn’t just fade, it was pushed out of mainstream culture. Speaking with Conrad Flynn on The Magnificent Others Podcast, he recalled a late‑’90s shift where MTV “suddenly decided rock was out” even though the genre was still huge. Corgan said he “saw the gravity shift” as rap took over and standards changed overnight. Today, he points to the irony: rock sells massive tickets worldwide, yet barely appears in mainstream media. For him, the industry “purposely dialed down the ability of rock stars to have a voice.” 📸 - The Magnificent Others Podcast
