Too bad they don’t have any music Music TV.............
I want my OLD MTV....................
It wasn’t cool. We were young. LOL
Isn’t that that channel that played music videos in the early 80’s before they became yet a other 24/7 propaganda mouthpiece for the left?
I’m old enough to remember when MTV actually played ROCK music.
Me too and my mother yelling at us to lower it!!!!
Right there with you. I was a teen and it was amazing in the beginning up through about 1995, then it’s been a downhill slide ever since then.
My first exposure to Beavis and Butt-Head and Æon Flux.
Reality TV started with “An American Family,” on PBS in 1973.
MTV was always a 24/7 mouthpiece for the left. They just used to be more subtle about it like the “news” channels were.
when mtv 1st came out it was cool...especially the Saturday night concerts...now it is worthless
Ha! You beat me to it. I was going to post a picture of Martha Quinn. The girl next door, yes indeed.
Exactly! I also remember a time when I’d turn on MTV only to find a comedy series like Beevis & Butthead, then turning on Comedy Central to see musical acts from old SNL reruns. So much for “branding”.
Look at all those yo-yos that’s the way they do it. Play the git -tar on the mtv
What does the M stand for in MTV?
I used to know back in 1985.
It was cool when it started and was cool for a while after but when they pushed music over to VH1 and turned MTV into Reality TV it went to crap in a real hurry. I don’t think it is even worth discussing it.
In the early days the cable company had MTV sound on the FM band. Our cable company had all the FM band on cable. I was one of a very few people who had MTV in stereo on big speakers. Most people were surprised to find out that FM and MTV were on cable.
“Video Killed the Radio Star”
No truer song has ever been written. I called it the “MTV music Holocaust” because it made record execs realize that they could now sell records on sight alone rather than sound which is basically suicide when it comes to music, the quality nose dived faster Michael Avenattis legal career.. I hear people all the time say “Oh the 80s music was great” NO IT WAS NOT! It was horrendous! Freakin’ hairspray metal bands, stupid new wave crap, Kajagoogoo, Boy George, Madonna! Enough said, I couldn’t stand it, the grunge crap was even worse, mumbling morons and Jesus Christ poses.
And it’s still boring.
