MightyJordan Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 ...and as a lot of people know, this was the first music video they ever showed: But I'm not entirely sure if it's a cause for celebration, consdering the state of MTV's programmes nowadays (I'm lookin' at you, Jersey Shore). So here's a poll. Vote away, and post your congratulations/condolences (delete as appropriate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted August 1, 2011 Veteran Share Posted August 1, 2011 so far as i am concerned MTV has been dead for years, since they no longer actually play musc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted August 1, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted August 1, 2011 In my opinion MTV Europe went down the drain when they started regionalising it in 1997. It completely died for me on January 1, 2011, when it became a pay TV channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unix2 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 MTV was good until the middle of the 90's. Then started playing crap music and shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzeh Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Back in the day when MTV was good, MTV2 came out with some awesome music but I can't remember the last time either of those channels actually showed decent music, not repeating the top 3 songs that was in the charts over and over again.

Dick Montage Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I liked MTV pretty much up until about, say 2004... I have fond memories of them playing Bon Jovi, REM, GnR, Aerosmith, Smashing Pumpkins and so on. Ray Cokes in the evening, Davina McCall being all sultry at night, Beavis & Butthead, the Braun Euro Countdown... Now it's STAGED reality shows, all the time. And movies... What gives :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulsiphon Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I was watching when it went live. At the time I lived not more than 3 blocks away from my Dad who'd just split with my mom, but surprisingly enough had some of the first cable TV in that area - so I went over there. I continued to go over there every day for months just to finally get a look at my favorite bands actually performing their tunes. Back then if you didn't see a band in concert or on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, you never got to see them playing "live". Happy B-Day MTV, I weep at what you've become :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Montage Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 mtv died in the early 90's Go on, I will bite... Do you mean that it moved away from your taste in music or what? I personally say it died in the early/mid 2000s as it stopped playing MUSIC, and when they did, their rotation was really short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzwolf Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I personally started losing interest in the late 90's and in the early 2000's sealed the deal. It's sad I grew up on MTV as it came out almost 2 months after I was born and I started watching it as an infant as I've always been a music fan even when that young. I loved watching the bands perform videos. Now it?s just garbage... I personally think Jersey Shore is ridiculous and rather disgusting. I did like the old Real World and Road Rules for the first several seasons but things seemed to get out of control and just scripted looking and purposely designed for the best "reality" (cough ? scripted ? cough) conflict. It quickly went from a music channel to a NONreality channel and the name should be changed to TTV aka Trash TeleVision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCA Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 MTV I care nothing for it because it's garbage now. Bring back the music instead of lame reality shows like Jersey Shore, 16 and Pregnant, Teen Mom etc...You know they're not poor they just get paid to act like they are even though they get paid for being on the show.....Petition for Beavis and Butthead, The Head, The Maxx again anyone?
