Today's MTV

Headbanger's Ball was recently brought back to late Saturday nights on MTV2, which is your best bet for being as close to how MTV used to be (i.e., videos, not shows). Fuse (formerly Much Music USA) is also a pretty eclectic station, from indie rock to rap.

No offense, but bitching about the state of MTV today won't better it. I found this out myself. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but MTV is actually a good thing if that's your bag. However, it does take away creativity. So I've boycotted MTV for a few weeks, while I write songs.

Today's MTV has given me many hours of something to do, when there was nothing to do. I can nearly always count of MTV having something to watch, something to look at. Of course, others may feel differently.

Naturally, MTV was going to get corporate eventually. This happens a lot to 'underground' stuff (Sub Pop and Rolling Stone for example). MTV only became this way through age. And others eventually come up (Fuse) that seem more 'with it'. So, either take MTV the way it is (it isn't going to change) or do otherwise.

I don't know why anyone would read this, I just kinda went on. I apologize.

Does anybody here remember Martha Quinn?

MTV plays stuff that majority wants to hear. if more than half the population watching it wants to see britney on tv, then they'll put britney on tv. they play what will get them viewers

Harfynn Teuport or Suki Bapswent will always remain my fave MTV VJ's

its funny how music has changed so much
i barely watch tv and i dont have mtv, but the few times i watch that i cant decided wheter i like it or not. its fun to see whats "hot and new" (being sarcastic) these days but sometimes i wish i could run that site...i wish that it was only mymusic

but ehhe..that would be impossible

I watch MTV starting at about 11PM when they do the beavis and butthead reruns and I enjoy the sunday stew, especially viva la bam.

I saw this great thing where they were parodying vh1 (on vh1 no less), and they said, "vh1, where music used to be first.... and now its like 7th..... or 14th...."

Pretend that it's not called, "music" television and, viola, problem solved.

We don't need MTV to watch music videos anymore anyway, you can download them online. It's more convienient that way too, watch them when you want, no commercials.

This is what I'm listening to right now!

viva la bam is fun to watch
i wonder if its all true though.
sometimes it seems that everything's already planned with the parents

I do indeed enjoy Viva La Bam. And Jackass was great while it lasted.

viva la bam and jackass were/are great because most of the stuff they tape happened all around my house. i live in west chester pennsylvania, where most of the footage you see happens. well, in viva la bam pretty much all of it happens in WC. its funny because whenever im walking around on the streets i will occasionally see bam and his "crew" thats why i love his show

o btw... its not planned
