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?

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.

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.

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.

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 
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.
