Why are there supermassive black holes at the center of every galaxy

So what we do know is that supermassive black holes lie at the center of virtually all galaxies, but why? And which came first, the galaxy or the black hole?
Given why black holes form in the first place (my understanding being that a star goes supernova then implodes on itself forming one), why does one exist at the center of each galaxy?
And since each galaxy has one (and I'm assuming only one) at it's core, are they the catalyst that formed the galaxy in the first place and if so where did the original star come from?

What if each black hole has it's own universe in it?

Black holes don't age....do they?

Obviously, a new black hole forms every time someone divides by zero.

Obviously you haven't seen Interstellar yet

Why do each of us have a butt hole? To shite out of and in some kinky cases for stuffing. Same thing with galaxies. Gotta have an entry and exit.

Isn't it a little early in the day for weed, Spicoli?

Scientists aren't exactly sure yet why they form, but some say they form from mergers of stellar mass black holes and "sink" to the center of a galaxy as they grow.

I like to picture the universe as it is shown in Men in Black. An orb hanging from a cat's collar.
