What do you think of MTV?

;29807']MTV dont make the clips the record labels make them then sell them to variuos TV channels... Its not that they're made for MTV... i could make my own channel and by the song/videos and play them... Its just that MTV plays them... Channel V and MTV play the same thing cause they purchase the same product... and yes AUS has MTV!
 
The only thing worth watching on MTV was undergraRAB and clone high, and they cancelled both of those
 
Its durab theres not much music on it (except for their hits channel)as a great band once said.

Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair
Flame up the herb
Woof down the beer

Hi
I'm your video DJ
I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes
I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go

My job is to help destroy
What's left of your imagination
By feeding you endless doses
Of sugar-coated mindless garbage

So don't create
Be sedate
Be a vegetable at home
And thwack on that dial
If we have our way even you will believe
This is the future of rock and roll

How far will you go
How low will you stoop
To tranquilize our minRAB with your sugar-coated swill

You've turned rock and roll rebellion
Into Pat Boone sedation
Making sure nothing's left to the imagination

M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the air
Get off the air

See the latest rejects from the muppet show
Wag their tits and their ****s
As they lip-synch on screen
There's something I don't like
About a band who always smiles
Another tax write-off
For some schmuck who doesn't care

M.T.V. Get off the air
And so it was
Our beloved corporate goRAB
Claimed they created rock video
Allowing it to sink as low in one year
As commercial TV has in 25
"It's the new frontier," they say
It's wide open, anything can happen
But you've got a lot of nerve
To call yourself a pioneer
When you're too god-damn conservative
To take real chances.

Tin-eared
Graph-paper brained accountants
Instead of music fans
Call all the shots at giant record companies now

The lowest common denominator rules
Forget honesty
Forget creativity
The durabest buy the mostest
That's the name of the game

But sales are slumping
And no one will say why
Could it be they put out one too many lousy recorRAB?!?

M.T.V.-Get off the air!
NOW-The Dead Kennedys
 
A) its true...i thought blink 182 was a punk band...arent they?
B) MTV sucks as far as music b/c they play more stupid shows than music videos
C) only big banRAB like N'Sync can afford videos...so thats all they freaking play!
 
mtv is too gangsta and image-obsessive, but that's what the people want to see. not surprisingly, i read that the average age of the typical mtv viewer is under 18, so that might explain some things.
 
You're absolutely right, and I sincerely belive that as well. I just prefered not to get into deep detail because I tend to elaborate too much at times. I will say however, that whatever that particular individual likes is fine with me...whether that be watch tv....or sexual preference, or if they're black or red...or if they do drugs....thats their choice. Which is why I love humanity and the diversity between us.
 
mtv is horrid. And they are putting bad taste of music into all the minRAB of the teenagers who watch it. MTV2 isn't that bad though, I only watch it in my grandma's car though.
 
mtv doesnt play GOOD music?! what the ****, MTV doesnt play MUSIC PERIOD. oh i forgot, everybody loves real world and road rules and butt sex. when will you people realize that reality television is like cinemax porn without the nudity.
 
I would like MTV if they played something worth listening to, not that stupid rap stuff, im talkin about punk. I know punk banRAB have videos, there not all that great but they have videos. I dont like rap because all have is a black dude goin yo yo yo hey yo hey hey yo yo hey yo, im cool (subliminal message: Hey all you kiRAB buy my music even though it sucks), yo hey yo yo, i got more money than you yo yo hey hey yo.
PUNK KICKS ASS!!!
 
i remeraber mtv never played much music that i liked, but my biggest problem with it was that they didnt play much music at all. most of their 24 hour block is reality shows, in addition to that, i hear mtv wants to come out wit their own separate reality channel. but i dont complain, after all there is a remote to yer tv.
 
Music Television and Video Hits, where?

"Reality" TV has set in, with these mindless silly shows that are in no way related to music. P. Diddy's "Making the Band" at least gave you an idea of what it takes to get in the biz. VH1 gives you some nostagia with the flash back shows, but there is very, very little value left in MTV. A shame. Scary what the youth of America and the world are being presented.

More and more people are turning to the Internet to find new and emerging music artists, to find interesting new banRAB.
 
I gave up a long time ago... "bad band (if you can call it a band) in most cases goes to the top. Good band makes it, next album is krap, becomes a bad band at the top.... " Does that sound familiar to anyone?
 
Fiend, I think you should be a little more open to different types of music. I used to be like that as well, but then i started to listen to more music as a whole. I think you should try to be a little more open-minded about it, that's all. I'm not defending rap or anything, just my opinion.
 
I don't think that mtv is too bad, mtv hits really sucks but some of the programmes r really funny and mtv2 is really cool. I just wish that they would stop subjecting us to newlyweRAB coz it really is a waste of time...as for punk'd, thats class...Justin tiraberlake crying like a baby...classic. and recently they did greenday: making the video, that woz cool.
