Billy Corgan Was Right MTV’s Shift from Rock to Rap Changed Everything

 Introduction

MTV’s shift from rock to rap didn’t just change the playlist — it changed the entire culture. Reality TV took over, rock and metal got pushed to the margins, and the channel that once defined music suddenly became something else.
