MTV Poll
 

I remember back when they actually played music, and knew the pulse of the music industry. Now it seems like they are all ads and TV shows, and if you aren't into pop music or rap then you're out of luck.

What do you guys think? Still relavent to music or past its prime?

actually i get like 5 different MTV channels that play all types of music videos but i don't watch any of them. when it first started MTV was great but now it just sucks.

Ah, good point. I am talking about regular MTV, not the satellite channels.

I think its more about stuck up bitches in California...

Its all about reality TV with younger (20-somethings) participants, drawing in even younger viewers (teenagers). It's definately geared towards fashion and modern, urban culture (which is nothing new) but without the actual music videos. There's definately a hip-hop, pop, rap theme throughout now.

I miss Headbangers Ball.

with the exception of MTV HITS.....NO!!!! it has nothing to do with music anymore!! ur best bet is too tune in at 3 in the morning if you want videos...

and FUSE is starting to go down the same path now with all the reality shows...the only good thing fuse put in was the whitest kids u know!

hee hee.... kinda one sided huh??

:nod: i agree with everything said here
it's a shame i got fuse before it was fuse, before it was musicmatch usa and filmed in canada
at that point the channel was amazing

i miss juliya :evil:

I remember the old days with Beavis and Butthead and when they actually played videos. I don't even stop on that channel while surfing.

They can never play a full song!!! TRL doesn't even play a full song...it's kinda annoying!

MTV SUCKS

wow 30-0 lol

i remember mtv back in the day, they actually played both rock and rap, back when rap was 1st becoming popular

yes it sucks now, i thought TRL got cancelled? lol sees how much i pay attention to that crap

MTV sucks!!!

I watched the music video thing at like 4 once, saw it was basically all **** hop/crap so I don't watch it anymore. Down with MTV!

x2.

The only thing I watch on Mtv now is the Real World.

i only watch the real world too and the real world challenges and stuff.. occassionally that show with the kid who skateboards

MTV? no, CMT/GAC yes, besides trick my truck is better then pimp my ride, i remember they did a civic and pretty much used bondo to build the body line back into the car where the door met

What's GAC?

great american country

i watched Mtv all day long when it first came out, trying to catch a video i hadn't seen before. but, video killed the radio star because love is a battlefield and it cuts like a knife. hit me with your best shot while i'm on a mexican radio, with tush, legs and a sleeping bag in the summer of '69. to say the least, i am part of the Mtv generation. VJs downtown julie brown, martha quinn, JJ jackson, nina, alan, mark...?

headbanger's ball sucks. you can still find it occasionally on one of the satellite channels, but it's nothing like it used to be.

mtv is no longer about music, the only time i ever see full videos playing are during "after hours" at like 4 am

I'll go with PAST IT'S PRIME. Mostly talk shows, rap artists and their BLING/BLING, and my FAVORITE-CRIBS! Gots to show all you low lifes, how I didn't need to finish High School, and what youse is LOOKING AT, youse PAID FOR DAT!! :moon:

I still remember the glory days of MTV, but like others have said, I don't watch at all anymore unless they are playing old Real World episodes.....

Its funny, because IMHO I think the real world series was the beginning of the end for MTV and while yes the first few seasons were great to watch the real world types of shows took over the airwaves & spread like a virus that we now can't get rid of. Even the show Im watching right now the ultimate fighter on spike is a reality show :lol:

MTV realized they had a goldmine with the reality concept & ran with it to the point where they just never turned back.

Yea, I'm with you Bill. I only really enjoyed the first few seasons of real world, but I occasionally watch newer ones. Shows like Singled Out were always funny too.

And you can never forget Beavis & Butthead, MTV's Oddities, and Aeon Flux.
