Well, think about popular music (top 40). How much of it is actually good? 0.5%? Even if they did play round the clock videos, it'd be junk.


I hear MTV2 isn't as bad, but still has it's downpoints.

MTV is a joke. It's like the radio nowadays. Good luck finding anything whatsoever on it that's worth hearing.

I agree with Ministry. Believe it or not, MTV used to be all music videos back in the 80s but it slowly turned into anything but that. They used to break new bands by playing music you never heard of; now they just play the same top 40 junk over and over again.

Who cares if they played music or just have some date show on it, either way both are going to be horrible. Like others have said MTV is nothing more then popculture entertainment for shortsided retarded kids.

If they renamed it, I'd have no problem with it.


Like, "Teen Channel" or something.


The fact that they're pretensious enough to draw some idiotic correlation to music... Grrr.

Sometimes MTV1 I can never find a video on and MTV2 started to turn to crap now I see they have MTV3 but I no longer have cable or satellite so I don't know how it is.

Im old. I saw MTV the first time it aired. I was a sophmore in HS (1980).

I remember seeing Frank Zappa in concert on that Saturday night.


Now? MTV has barely anything to do with music at all.

Dweezil Zappa is currently touring as Zappa Plays Zappa. It doesn't look like there are a lot of shows but, if you're lucky enough to live near where they're playing, it sounds like it's going to be great.

My uncle went to see them. He said if you closed your eyes you could see Frank standing right there. Supposed to be a great show.

I watched the first video that was aired on MTV and watched up all the way up till I was in my 20's. Now, it sucks really hard and I will most likely never watch that channel again. It couldn't be further than what its name was meant to be about.

All they really care about these days is giving spoiled bitch brat kids on the "My Super Sweet 16" show, and having some really retarded reality show about a rich neighborhood in Orange COunty, pretty much MTV is invested with closed minded, spoiled, idiot bitches and nothing else.

And I mean damn, the videos they do play are usually from the same talentless assclowns so it doesn't matter, why do they only play really recent videos? How about the old ones? I'd watch it in a heartbeat if they played some of the videos back from the 80s and 70s and such (hell not even videos just concert clips)

Exactly why do they still call themselves "music television?"

I remember when MTV2 came out, it was a big deal that it was nothing but music videos. That was the main selling point. Even that doesnt hold true anymore.

VH1 ftw. It's watchable at times.

I can't watch VH1 anymore either. It's all Surreal Life, the Fabulous Life of... or some stupid list like "The Top 20 Toally Non Metal Moments!"

Gimme a break.
