Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante has weighed in on a recent debate sparked by The Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, agreeing with the musician’s controversial belief that rock music was intentionally sidelined by the music industry in the late 1990s. Earlier this year, Corgan discussed the topic on his podcast The Magnificent Others, suggesting that rock and metal’s cultural presence didn’t simply fade naturally, but was deliberately reduced as industry priorities shifted toward genres viewed as more commercially controllable and broadly marketable, including pop, rap, and country. Corgan pointed to what he described as a noticeable turning point during the late…
