I remember when I was a kid, all I would do when I get back home from school is watch videos on MTV the rest of the evening. MTV used to be nothing but music in the 80’s and early 90’s, but MTV is not music anymore. It’s nothing but garbage reality shows now so it’s hard to celebrate their 30 years, that I just don’t care. I used to LOVE MTV back in the old days but now I hate the station.
The only good thing about MTV today is that they’re bringing, Beavis & Butthead back, that’s the only reason I’ll start watching MTV again.
I miss old school MTV. I miss watching the 80’s hair metal and 90’s grunge eras. MTV still does play videos but mostly shit videos. I’ll celebrate the “history” of MTV, but I won’t celebrate how they are now.
If it weren’t for MTV, I would have never heard of Twisted Sister and Dire Straits because it was MTV that made those two bands for what they were.

Shoot…if it weren’t for MTV’s program 120 Minutes, I would have never heard of even half the bands that I like. That was from 1991-1996, the years when it was hosted by Dave Kendall and Lewis Largent. Then I tuned into it for the first time in years in 1998 or 1999. The host was Matt Pinfield…and this beloved show of mine, the one that introduced me to the likes of the Smashing Pumpkins, Swervedriver, Seam, Superchunk, and so on, was playing videos by FRICKIN’ ROBBIE WILLIAMS…a reject from that one hit wonder boy band Take That! I was like, “Where the hell did my two hours of alternative music go???” Screw MTV. The only “music” on that channel now is when they play some songs as a soundtrack to their crummy reality shows. I am on your side on this one, brother.
