No fr. :( back as a little kid who loved animals and wanted to learn abt them, animal Planet was my escape yk. And when they started airing shit like the Alaskan Frontier or whtv I tolerated it bc it seemed interesting.

Embarrassing

I remember this, I discovered good bands in MTV2 but then it was mostly rap which I wasn't into at the time. Then somehow it was just rap and now it's not even that :/

Thanks for sharing. As always the devil is in the details.

Growing up in the UK we weren't that into Rap we were into Dance Music and Indie music so it was totally irrelevant to us as we didn't live that life.

Once they went all rap, I switched to VH1, which played rock , then they went to all reality. They should have changed their name to "RTV" since it was nothing but reality.

Wow! Didn't realize that was the fate of MTV channels! Sounds like a Stephen King novel where the transgressors are forced to rely on the thing they hate the most! In the beginning, MTV *refused* to play Black music videos. After public protests and common sense kicked in, their 1st video with Black people was MJ's Beat It. Fast forward to the future, Black videos are their lifeline. Talk about *karma* ! 😆

I remember visiting the US in about 2005 and 2006, being so excited to finally watch MTV. I preferred VH1 because they had more music videos, but I still liked MTV. I returned about 5 years later and there was no music on MTV at all. I never watched it ass it was just reality TV trash.

There was really nothing strange about it. The publishing companies are the ones who killed MTV. They seized the opportunity, afforded by MTV's huge success, to start increasing the publishing/rebroadcasting fees to the point that it was costing MTV more money than it was worth. Desperate for something to fill the void, MTV realized there was a huge market for reality television that they should try and tap into. Once "The Real World" took off in 1992 they discovered that there was more money in reality shows than music videos.

No I was in the hospital in 2019 that's the only show on MTV at 3am when I was checked in a week later the only show on MTV all day everyday

MTV destruction came at the hands of corporate greed.ot played music videos and switched to a scripted reality tv show called real world .the cast didn't work and they lived in a privilege paid for apartment in NYC. Like basically all the yo MTV raps videos were new York rappers and LA we didn't see small town rapper's or break dancers or graffiti artist they took 1 element of hip hop and exploited the hell out of it.tjr 90s saw MTV and corporate head's to flaunt the wealthy and privilege for the next 30yrs the target audience of MTV is privilege youth and remakes of classic tv programs candid camera of the 70s is punked on MTV Hot stunt's of the 70s is jackass on MTV. I was on MTV as Andy dicks side kick in the short lived Andy dicks apprentice in 2005 in 1999 I pitched a tv pilot about my life as a boy in Saginaw Michigan " the entire history of Lester clay. A few years later everybody hates Chris was based on my show pilot.i know tv and radio been my life since 1978. My.

So true. VH1 doesn’t get the recognition it deserves

Unfortunately, VH1 is pretty much like MTV these days. Very few videos. More stupid reality shows.

I loved VH1's pop-up videos

Lol. Same!!! I miss Headbangers Ball!! That was my favorite show. And yes, my super religious mom was sleeping so I was right next to the TV on the lowest volume. 😊

MTV effected culture all around the world my dude its not just limited to America. i live in NZ and MTV was a massive part of my childhood. i remember when i rushed home from school to watch the latest music vids etc and that was the day soulja boy crank that vid came out and had everyone doing it the next day.

Facts and I’m and from 01, and I was big on MTV Jams and Bet 106 and Park til they ended awkward, and just started showing a bunch of the same fucking reruns of 2-3 shows or movies over and over again. I miss the simple era for shit all those shoes we had before then compare to now.

I was born in 86' and never remember MTV ever being any good at all. They pretty much played shitty grunge music, then shitty hip hop music, then no music.

prime mtv was 2007 - 2011, especially with mtv2

Okay but aren't you forgetting that people said the same thing about MTV back then as well? The Bowling For Soup song 1985 explicitly talks about how back in 1985 there was music still on MTV as opposed to 2004.

MTV2 was a commodity (at least for me) I remember always being on the pricier cable packages

Oh yeah for sure. TRL was a big show in the late '90s and it was very popular. That was probably one of the last big music shows that MTV had.

Like how the first seasons of "Real World" were actually legit and informative for teens... The "top ten" video shows right after school... ('95-2001)

I remember in the early 2000s tuning into MTV for the first time and it was a panel of people gossiping about Paris Hilton? Never tuned back in

They went downhill in the late 80's as soon as they started showing Julie Brown and garbage other than music.

+1 to this. Definitely early 2000. MTV2 itself was fine until around 2006 for sure.

The TRL era was cool I was 16 in 98. I remember DMX and Eminem being on TRL

@@tylongkicks8821 yes what was so cool about it is that eminem could be interviewed one minute and the next it was britney spears. Then the next day it would be korn limp bizkit backstreet boys we had a variety of music styles. Its not like that anymore in the mainstream which makes things more dull

1998 - 2008 is the era I watched MTV, I watched bands like Linkin Park and Evanescense rise to become a global phenomenon and am still a fan.

They could bring that back and it would probably do well.

Head bangers ball use to be on everynight. they slowly reduced days then hours until they ended it.

I have a bunch of episodes recorded on VHS somewhere...

That show was awesome.

I remember between 4th and 6th grade my sister and I would beg my mom not to let us go to school. During that time we'd watch MTV2 all day long without our parents telling us to stop, those were good times.

I'm thinking MTV didn't feel like celebrating its glory days to quote Bruce Springsteen.

The original living VJs did do a 40th anniversary special on Serious XM. I think they played the first hour or two of the broadcast and commented and reminisced in between sets

They didn’t do anything on their 30th anniversary either, so I can’t say I’m surprised.

Technically Ancient Aliens is talking about "history"

Bookstore keep name as bookstore even though they were multimedia with videos, cds, games, puzzles, computer programs and other things besides books.

Why? The name has marketability, so why change it?

And I feel this way even now about FOX "News"-- back in the old days, they actually reported news, but with a conservative Republican flavor (and they had actual news shows too that weren't all outrage, and even tickers with other headlines at the bottom). Nowadays, every show (outside of Special Report with Bret Baier weeknights at 6) is about Republican outrage politics, and there are no more tickers (so, in essence, the headline of outrage on the lower third of the screen is the news, the whole news and all the news according to FOX). These days, I oftentimes wish they'd call themselves New York Post TV, Washington Times TV or even National Enquirer TV (because the Republican outrage channel that calls itself FOX "News" always references those right-wing publications that are nothing more than rags [and IMO, FOX "News" is very much a visual "rag"]).

I remember that era never watched any of the shows other than an episode of Teen Wolf

Sadly MTV cancel all of it and not doing anymore of those scripted tv shows

Some of them were actually good too. They had a show called “Underemployed” in 2012 and it was great. Only lasted one season and was cancelled.

@@jackatkinson3682 they always had long commercial breaks. I'm 42 and that was the thing with MTV but I thought it was cool cause you could go get something to snack on or use the bathroom and not have to rush. That was the 80s and 90s

And to their credit, most of the commercials they showed back then were cool - and I'm not just talking about the bumpers and idents with as Jay kindly put it "weird ass puppets and screwed up cartoons." I sometimes got to see gnarly ads for stores that didn't exist in my hometown - like Tower Records, Sam Goody, MerryGoRound, etc. As I've been trying to say, there was more balance and nuance to 80s and 90s MTV. Sure you had stiff fossils like Kurt Loder, but then you had edgy bruhs like Jon Sencio and Dan Cortese. Then in '99, Carson Daly came in and all of a sudden every veejay had to be just like him - a sentient white bread and Grey Poupon sandwich - so they fired all the Kennedys, Anandas, Idalises, and Bill Bellamies - and by 2003 MTV looked like VH1 and VH1 looked like TV Land.
