9 Songs That Perpetuate Crazy Conspiracy Theories

2. Star F*cking Hipsters - "9/11 Was (An Inside Joke)"

"9/11 was an inside thing // And G-Dub played the king // Giuliani fixed the job // Abetted by the mob // Air force and C.I.A. // N.O.R.A.D. with Dick Cheney"

It may be unfortunate, but there are plenty of 9/11 Truther songs that have popped up over the years, though most of them were written by amateurs with quick access to a Casio and a green screen. Star F*cking Hipsters, however, is an actual band - something of a supergroup, in fact - comprised of members from various hardcore punk bands.

It's not exactly rare for a punk band to write controversial political songs, but this one's more than a little insane.

Because not only do the Star F*cking Hipsters fail to grasp how parentheses work, but it seems the group is also aggressively paranoid - and equally misinformed - about world events. See, those attacks weren't orchestrated by members of Al-Qaeda, but by the American government. Like, all of the American government, according to the expansive name-checking the song goes through.

Anyone who claims that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 were an inside job would probably be quick to point out that Bigfoot is currently being dissected at Roswell by doctors Shakur and Presley, as well.
