Actually, they should take out the M, because now it's just TV ...the Dead Kennedys may have been somewhat wrong about them in the beginning,
but they're right now:
"MTV Get Off The Air!"

anti-social butterfly i was just listening to that "mtv get off the air" song today. i have heard of the dead kennedys for years. some of my friends really like them. however, i never had access to the internet until i started college, which was just a few months ago. so today, i finally got around to downloading some deadkennedys songs. pretty good. "kill the poor" was pretty good too. can't believe i hadn't found a way to listen to them before.
mtv does suck. damn! i can't stand watching that shit. i dunno. music videos are cool and some are really creative. is their some other medium outside of the mtv monopoly for watching music videos. there should be an ifc for music videos. like the independent music video channel or some shit like that. it sucks that people like britney, n'sync, and o-town can entirely control a whole channel that is supposed to be devoted to music. perhaps if mtv started playing the videos of people who actually wrote and played their own music, things would be better. hmmm... there's a thought. good concept i guess in the beginning, but it is totally corrupted now. music should not be so commercialized. bands who can't afford music videos should not be held down and unable to succeed simply because the only way to start rolling in the cash and the spotlight is to be on mtv. is mtv the only exposure some people have to music? god, and i get mad at most mainstream radio stations, but they are far better than mtv. mtv, get the fuck off the air!

ClairE I agree with what beck said more than with anything I have read here so far.

I belong to a clique called "I hate MTV", even though I usually avoid the word "hate" like I do roadkill, because the description of it was: "you don't talk much about your hate for MTV, because there is nothing left to say."

THAT is what I agree with the most. ever. (almost)

hellel ben sahar it's funny, i hate MTV, but i have digital cable and live in a place where i get MTV Espanol and it kicks the ass off of good old english MTV.

i don't understand much of the music, but some of the bands sound cool and lots of the acts on MTV-E and VH-Uno are just damn sexy as well

plus it's nearly all videos and NO stupid shows

I like to watch the commercials on the Spanish_channel. My friends who know Spanish like to watch the soap_operas.

I prefer Japanese_soap_operas myself.

poeticmisfit mtv...what is mtv? HA yeah, like any teenager doesn't know. mtv is shoved in my face constantly and i hate how it tastes. i hate how i "have" to eat it all up.

squigglybee all mtv is road rules and real world, what happened to 'music television'? where are the decent music videos? not on mtv that's for sure 020724

punksock omfg, have you seen shows like Cribs on MTV Base?
it makes me cringe, it gives the impression that all musicians like in a 100 million acre mansion and have 900 cars to boot. if they're going to have these gay shows instead of music (and tbh i'd rather have these shows to the 'music' they put on it now) then bring back beavis and butthead!!!

fonz MarketingTeleVision... if u got the money, then you're whats cool for the next month. carson will think you're cool, and mtv news will have segments on how you're so cool... before you know it, most of prepubescent america that looks for what is cool through mtv will think you're cool, and you'll make enough money to say that being on mtv was worth the money... if not blame copyright infringement on the fact that people downloaded your music because you didnt make any money.... 031210

jenny enny dots After 1989 and 120 Minutes, and Beavis and Buthead. Absolutely nothing worth watching on MTV. I hate reality TV. 040116
...
White Waver Did anyone actually remember watching 120 Minutes. It was the coolest show. Maybe some of you are too young to remember that show. 040116

alex well i love it! 040307

jane i miss the_oddities 040307

white_wave feels old i still have 120 minutes on video cassette. Soon they will be 20 years old. I am so so old!!

Those sure were some good videos. What's not to love about British guys with dyed_black_mullets?
040307
...
birdmad i lost my tapes of 120 minutes, i had about seven of them... not whole shows, but videos i cherry picked through, so i didn't have too much of the VJ's or any commercials or any crap videos (and even amidst all the outside-the-mainstream goodness, there were a few)

worse still, i lost my tape of the_cure doing and their performance on Unplugged as well as the audio copy i made to keep in or around my walkman

pobody doesent want her mtv P I don't think I liked 120,but I used to watch The Headbanger's Ball almost religiously during the reign of "hair band" music. =D Anyone remember that "liquid television" show? There was one segment that featured a biker barbie doll. One of those stupid,but strangely entertaining kinda things. 0.o
I liked "sifl and olly" too.. It just started to get so full of tv shows and less and less videos. In retrospect,you could see it comming,what with the stupid game shows and real world marathons they kept playing over and over. By the time the late nineties rolled around,I was only watching it for the Marilyn Manson stuff. Now,I wouldn't watch it at all. It should be renamed since the music video thing is no longer a focus,but I think they keep it because it has a well established history to it and they know that if the name was dumped,the channel wouldn't survive.

annoyed pobody that "P" beside the mtv in the name option was posted like this:

pobody doesen't want her mtv =P

but blather was being a meanie and took away my "eyes"

white_wave loves the 80s i miss liquid_television, even though i only saw it a few times. it seemed like digital animation that was very ahead_of_it's_time.

if the quality were better, i'd copy my 120 Minutes videos for ya, Birdmad. I also have part of an episode of "The Young Ones" on it.

In my opinion, MTV is reality shows, and music for teens. That's fine if you are a teen, but it seemed like MTV used to appeal to a wider audience.

so now i'm forced to say :

i want my VH1!
i want my VH1!

*crying, whining and being a brat*

biff the magic eraser MTV = Hey, I have a grand marketing strategy! How abouts we put a bunch of music videos and talk about the happenin's in peoples lives that they won't give a crap about in 30 years, and spoonfeed them what they should be wearing, thinking, acting, doing, and buying.

And I say to that, I hope MTV dies. But it won't, because its so effective. Kinda goes to show how brainwashed our world is.
