A conspiracy theory is an alternative explanation of an event or situation that differs from the narrative of mainstream media, history books or others means.
Most conspiracy theories revolve around controversial topics like 9/11, vaccines, frauds, aliens.
Some conspiracies are batshit crazy and have little to no evidence. Others are just crazy and controversial to some but have very validity and evidence to be recognized as true. There are examples of conspiracies that have been proven as true but were seen as impossible or improbable in the past.
The word is often used from as an ad hominem to the theory and it's arguments and to try to discredit the person expressing it.

I can't trust the politicians and the media. I mean, they have a track record of lies and bullshit. This is nothing but a 24/7 news & propaganda cycle to enslave your mind while making you believe that you're free. This is my conspiracy theory about all of these TV programs and channels.

A generally unsubstantiated claim - generally based on what is called an argument from ignorance, linking completely unrelated things, etc - that is usually considered to be against the well-being of the demographic of the conspiracy theorist. Almost always pushed by scientifically illiterate people, religious fundamentalists, the uneducated or misinformed, and - always - the paranoid.
"The government did 9/11! Jews control all of the banks as part of the Illuminati! NWO NWO NWO CHEMTRAILS!"
"You're a moron with this conspiracy theory nonsense. The 'Illuminati,' and 'NWO,' for that matter, have been conspiracy theories for well over a century. People were just as alarmist then as you nuts are now. And we're in some totalitarian unfree state now where you.. oh, have the freedom to express these nutjob hypotheses of yours?"

Something people make up to make themselves feel like they know something others don't. Usually these made up stories are baseless, illogical conclusions. Most conspiracy theories are made up by douches, and believed by morons.
Not all conspiracy theories are false, however nearly all of them are.
It is also not uncommon for jackasses to make a show dedicated to conspiracy theories, for example The Glenn Beck show, or Conspiracy theory with Jesse Ventura.
It is a well-known fact by people who aren't idiots, that any show that contains a series of Conspiracy theories is going to have the majority of them wrong, if not all.

Guy1: I heard a conspiracy theory that the world is going to end in 2012, that is if Obama and George Soros don't destroy the world first!!!
Guy2: What are you talking about? How do you know any of what you're saying is true?
Guy1: I heard some guy on T.V. talking about it bro
Guy2: Have you thought about it and questioned the stupidity of these claims at all?
Guy1: Oh no! You must be an Islamic alien sent to earth by George Bush to cover up the real people behind 9/11!! You're just trying to brainwash meeeee

Conspiracy Theory
An idea that something is not as it seems or has been protrayed.
Facts showing that what we know could be different than what is.

The new SPOILER ALERT. After the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic where the majority of the theories deemed to be conspiracy actually happened or were proven to be true, the word got its new meaning since those theories being called "conspiracy theory" will probably happen a couple of months later.
Conspiracy theory (SPOILER ALERT): We will have vaccine passports
Conspiracy theory (SPOILER ALERT): The virus was lab-made
Conspiracy theory (SPOILER ALERT): Vaccinated people will still get infected and be able to spread the virus
