Mtv

[El Kabong]

The last quality social commentary and music video I remember on Mtv was on Beavis & Butthead The non music air wasn't all crap with buzzkill, the 1st maybe 2nd season of real world actually seeming 'real' and before the explosion, liquid television was great! Cribs with Redman should be in a time capsule somewhere, must see tv.

Original MTV had decent non-music based television....Remote Control with the incredibly smoking hot Kari Wuher as a little eye candy for the fellas was a good game show.

Bevis & Butthead did very well

When they started going down the "reality" tv rabbit hole things just got fucked up.....now to be on all this social justice politically correct bullshit is.....well it's not the counter culture it used to be now is it? It's a perverted brainwashing network now.....do teens even have parties anymore? Or do they just stay glued to their iphones all day?

I am sure when MTV came out the oldies said it was ridiculous and would never last.

Of course, they said the same about ESPN "All sports, all the time....won't it get boring?"


My point Master is that in it's birth MTV was about allowing young people to express themselves, to see and hear the musicians of the era and there was no political correctness tied in with that, there was no political message at all, it was inclusive, it was for everyone! Now MTV is for people who want to turn victim status into celebrity status. In that sense I guess it is the voice of all those angsty teens who think they always get a raw deal....Master, you've got children, ever had one give you the "That's not fair!" argument? Surely you have. Well MTV has become a giant "THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!!" channel and I'm sorry to reasonable rational emotionally stable folks like myself it's annoying and I see it as doing a great disservice to the youth of this nation (albeit I don't know who actually watches MTV anymore)....life isn't fair....that's what my parents always told me, "life isn't fair, sometimes you just have to play the hand you're dealt"...whining isn't an option and even if it was it wouldn't change anything.
