Striking up a conversation, my friend brought up MTV. We talked about how much MTV has strayed away from what it was originally intended for - music television. One would think that MTV would show music videos, non-stop, 24/7. In reality, music videos are a very small portion of MTV. The music video segment probably lasts only about an hour then the programming changes to numerous worthless reality television shows, especially the dating shows. At this rate, watching the channels scroll up on the television guide channel is more entertaining.
What do you think of MTV and its programming? |

I agree with a lot of what's been said, but MTV is about more than just msuic, it's (supposed) to be a cult lifestyle.

QUOTE(reptilia @ Jan 3 2008, 06:17 PM) True Indeed it is, but I don't think people will be joining this cult after a while. Are you kidding me? MTV is religious proselytizing for corporate America and has been for years and years now. MTV and their trigger fingers are the buyers and sellers of "cool." And, kids eat that shit up. And, really, there is no sign of it slowing - sure, "cool" might transform a bit, but MTV hires people to keep their eyes on "cool." MTV hires people to write checks, enormous checks, to buy out "cool." And, it isn't going to stop until the entire world turns off its radios and televisions (and that isn't going to stop anytime soon). Not to mention, any of the music videos that would be shown on MTV suck anyways - just more elaborate commercials. And, if you really care to watch that superfluous shit - get MTV2 or something. f**k. |
