   Once considdered "cool" MTV was the only place to watch non-stop music videos in the 80's... We had all sorts of genres like metal and the first rap music playing on there.... It was a good way to see new bands... But I dunno what happended... Now in 2006 MTV is extremly "un-cool" passing off Punk as Fall Out Boy, Rock as Life House, and rap as 50 Cent.... I'm too young to know what happended... could sombody fill me in?

   Ive never ever watched MTV... Ever. I understand its a music channel, but I dont feel like ive missed out. The internet has rendered most Music Channels/Shows obsolete imo, for people with a serious interest in music anyway.

   I dunno... I was just wondering... MTV, if put in the right hands.... could be great??? If I owned MTV so many things would be different.... Fall Out Boy would be sent packing... and good music would rise up and concuer the world.... As it should...

   They put whats popular up, and whats popular isnt always whats good. Its aimed at young teenagers? So they put what young teenagers listen to the most up: Emo, mainstream hip hop and mainstream pop. Id say just forget about it, theres plenty of other ways to listen to and discover new music.

I know I know... Just to think... a very good fantasy... MTV used to be aimed at people like... 16 and up? But now it seems to be for 11-16.... Yeah I know.... other ways and stuff... Sad though... I think older music should be played too... Nevermind...

Wait... that's a bad thing? over exposure to shit artists will blind you from the purity of good artists representing the true genre of their music. which these artists do not. MTV and Canada's Much Music aren't worth watching, you can't turn on a music station today and get music all of the time, sometimes it's retarded ass shows. and the music is never worth much else than dancing to at a club or something.

    MTV is not about music, they're about money. If I owned MTV, I would keep it just the way it was. I'd endorse bands that the kids love that are absolute shit as long as it made money. That's what makes the world go round, mulah. Nothing about the music anymore. MTV2, pfft, fuck it, the only good thing about it is Wondershowzen. That's it.

I can't believe you would try to make money off it instead of good music.... Well the little kids would be all over the good music so I get where you're coming from.... Eventually I think it will close anyway..... There's a couple of other music channels popping up like Fuse and some other channel I don't get either.... That's for the good music I hear... Oh well don't recieve it....

    i keep remembering jack black in school of rock talking about the man, he said rock music was the way the people could rebel against the man, but he ruined that "with a little something called MTV!".
