You happy zoomers. You killed MTV
>>215556477Bruh, MTV been dead for 20+ years
>>215556477As a Gen XerGood
>stop playing music>stop having good shows>wait twenty years>...
>>215556477goodshut down comedy central, vh1, and tv land next
My country's own MTV died like 15 years ago
MTV went to shit in the late 90s when boy bands and pop stars took over it.Jackass was the only good thing about post 2000
>>215556477The premiere of The Real World in 1992 is where things started to go wrong.
>tv channel built around music and youth culture>music sucks now>youth culture is just tiktokHow is this no longer viable?
The Real World was the death of MTV. This is an indisputable fact.
>>215556477Did you mean:"You happy, zoomers?"So you're dumber than those you're disparaging?
>>215556529nah spring break and the mtv awards still mattered up until like 2004ish
>>215556550>>215556561MTV was at its peak in the mid 90s with liquid television, beavis and butthead and alt rock at its prime.
This sucks. Change it.
>>215556577>nahFuck off, Aussie.
>>215556477The last thing they should show is the Buggles singing "TikTok killed the Video Star"
>>215556582Yeah, and then they cancelled all that shit to keep making Real World everything that came afterwards.
>>215556577>mtv awardsIs that over with?
As a kid growing up I was so confused by a channel called "Music TV" barely playing any music
>>215556477How old are the people running the channel that sign off on airing ridiculousness 20 hours a day? I bet they aren’t zoomers. Cause those are the people that killed MTV.
>>215556529*took it over
>>215556627I don’t recall the last time I saw a music video.
>>215556598huh? zoom.
>>215556477Internet killed the music television star
>>215556477The music industry killed MTV.
...that's not how you do it
>>215556731little faggot
>>215556477>2025
>>215556477Zoomers don't even know about MTV, we millennials used to watch it for the music videos and maybe some sporadic show but they went full reality show slop so we stopped 20 years ago and now we put podcasts as background noise
when was the last time they played a music video? do they even make music videos any more?
>>215556626
>>215556813Jersey Shore was kino.
zoomers have no idea who dan cortese is
>>215556477>1981 added up equals 6>2025 added up equals 7
>>215556477Why did zoomers and alphas reject this?
>>215556477For me? Its the Fromage awards hosted every year by Ed the sock on much music
>>215556477It was already dead long before today, this is just pulling the plug after it became clear there was no getting out of the reality TV moshpit and everyone can watch music videos on YouTube at-will.
Zoomer's aren't juicing the Weaaaasel, Buddy?
I think MTV disappeared in like 2009 in my country.By the end they showed>16 and Pregnant>Made>Hulk Hugan family reality show22 hours per day.
>>215556477Nigga MTV was dead before Zoomers were even born
>>215556813I mean, what music video would you even be watching now?What music is there that's any good? It's all increasingly shitty rap, and women singing about their vaginas.
>>215556909>Ridiculousness is an American comedy clip show that began airing on August 29, 2011, on MTV.>number of episodes 1689I have never heard of this show
>>215556529Taylor swift made it lit
MTV get off the air. NOW
>>215557023early internet clip slop, it was total shit and I only was aware of it cause I had a nephew who would watch it sometimes
>>215557017There's plenty of good music, USA MTV was always full of rap btw, even the Latm version had more American rock even back in the late 90s
New Year’s Eve will be the last air date
Godspeed old friend
>>215556909Without MTV where the heck am I going to watch Ridiculousness? I haven't watched all 1689 episodes yet!
>>215557213Even the US network? I hear only the channels in Europe are going off air.
MTV was dead before zoomers were even born.
>>215556477Jews killed mtv with teenybopper bullshit andtrashy reality
>>215556477MTV killed MTV
>>215557460On youtube from where they stole all their material
>>215557878>MTV was dead before zoomers were even born.>>215557908>MTV killed MTVThis. MTV's died 25 years ago when they started to prioritize "reality shows" over music videos.
>>215557828US version is now an extension of Paramount+
>>215556477MTV DIED OVER 30 YEARS AGO
>>215556626True storrryyyy?
I didn't watch until 2007. and and then stopped after 2008
>>215556497FPBP
>>215556477tiktok killed the mtv star, tiktok killed the mtv star
The VMAs might be the only thing sorta missed
I liked MTV2
>>215556477i legitimately thought it was already dead for like 10 years
>>215556550I agree with this because it was reality TV, however back then it wasn't so exploitative that we had shit like Jersey Shore. Also it died when the ended original cartoons like Celebrity Death Match.
Why is cable still around?
did you boomer really wait for a music video to appear to watch it
>>215558831music used to be good and worth waiting for or making requests into radio stations
>>215556909ChatGPT said:No, where am I going to watch 50 re-runs of a show that compiles videos I saw 7–15 years ago, with some douche interrupting them every four minutes now?
>>215556477MTV killed itself. It imploded under the weight of its own pretentiousness.
>>215558781Old people like it.
DIRDEK'D AND KEK'D FAGGOT NIGGER NETWORK
>>215556838Youre gay
>>215556905What?
>>215557017>I meanLow self-confidence indicator
>>215556477MTV died in 1999
>>215556477Thank you zoomers, you're not so bad after all.
>>215558831Headbangers ball was great.
>>215559739What's with zoomers posting this on every board now? Are you guys ok? You guys were getting mad at people using the word Though for a while too.
They didn’t kill MTV. MTV killed itself with an outdated entertainment model. YouTube already made it obsolete 20 years ago because now you could get any music video on demand but TV was still superior due to slow connection speeds at the time and much higher quality on cable. Nowadays people watch YouTube on their TVs. But the difference is more than that. Music videos used to be these major products that artists made that put them into the spotlight. Teenagers could not afford buying records in large quantities and discovering new stuff was only possible on TV or radio. That also changed eventually when Lastfm came around. Now as internet slowly but surely improved and media files got bigger and better with less lossy compressions music video broadcasting lost all relevance. Zoomers just don’t have access to the medium that MTV made itself popular with. Television is dead and it’s a good thing. Giving more control to the consumer is a victory for everyone except useless middlemen and gatekeepers.
>>215556650To be fair, it is their best show. >>215556813As a millennial I remember clearly watching trl every day before middle school. I'd watch it in the bath tub as I was getting ready.
>>215560228Not gonna read that. Learn to use paragraphs
>>215560228except we’ll never have professional quality entertainment ever again because that requires a considerable (and risky) investment but the profits aren’t there to justify them. no more good tv shows or movies will be created. it’s just books and music again.
>>215559316This show is kino. Jake is the best.
MTV was dead before zoomers were even born
This was my shit growing up. I don’t understand why they canceled it, it’s a show that could’ve gone on forever, like South Park and SNL.
MTV died because it pivoted to reality tv, which worked at first, but we live in the internet and streaming age now. You can get online drama from youtube and twitch and tik tok and twitter. And you can get music from there too.
>>215557188> even the Latm version had more American rock even back in the late 90sFor me it was Telehit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDwV3VU1OXUMTV MAKES ME WANT TO SMOKE CRACK
>>215560631IIRC it was too expensive to make and didn't have the same viewership that B&BH had in its prime
>>215560797how? its fucking clay?
>>215560631It was pretty boring after 3 seasons
>MTV stopped playing music videos. Failed. >VH1 stopped playing vids. Failed. >CMT stopped playing vids. Failed. >Fuse stopped playing vids. Failed.I'm sensing a common factor here. But music videos also kind of rand their course by the mid-00s so I think it would have happened either way. It was a precursor to Hollywood, really. Music vids got so bloated and repetitive everyone lost all interest.
>>215556574No he's saying "you happy zoomers"
>>215560631It might have been just for a season or two but I was really surprised the amount of horrible political humor they regularly do. It ages so poorly.
I'm approaching middle age and people have been bitching about MTV playing not-music since before I was born. This is some old fucking discourse.Anyways their original programming and reality shit was actually extremely popular all the way into the early 2010s even though I never watched it. Their key demographic (young adults) being the first group to stop buying cable is what killed them.
>>215557017>I don’t listen to music so it must all be crap
>>215556477this is when they pretended that Jimmy Carter was still alive for like two ass whole years.
>>215556477As a zoomer I'll miss the 2000s channel. Modern pop music fucking sucks and so do the music videos.
>>215561060Videos got lame because they became over produced generic crap. Thanks Popmusic shit and rap. Music videos were at their best when they were butch and made no fucking sense. Weird shit Beavis and Butthead would watch
>>215562379It's bizarre how lip-syncing actually managed to get worse.
>>215556477Skill issue
In the early 90s it was changing to adapt to cable choices and in the late 90s it was evolving to compete with the internet for those who did not have a tv in the computer room
>>215556477MTV killed MTV.
>>215556905how do you do fellow kids
>>215560228Shut the fuck up, child. Nobody needs your skewed overview of history as eulogy for the channel.>Giving more control to the consumer is a victory for everyone except useless middlemen and gatekeepers.Yes, in theory. Too bad in practice middlemen and gatekeepers have all the control while the consumer has all the expense.
>>215556477Social media killed MTV. It killed everything.
>>215558566>Be CEO of MTV>Stop playing music videos>Make new channel>It plays videos>Thank you I will take that huge raise for my amazing idea now
>>215562505So millenials? I can get behind this as an xboomer. Get your spork off my lawn
>>215556498based
>>215556977Encino man and biodome are classic 90s films.
>>215562505reality tv killed mtv. as soon as it took over they started showing only slop content and no music videos
>>215558831You would watch it to get exposed to new music, even if you didn't like a song the video could be neat.
>>215563163did chatgpt write this?
>music television existing after music has been dead for well over a decade
>>215563190Fuck you, the weasel did make some kino.
remember when Kid Rock had a pet midge??
>>215556909>one entire hour of music tv on mtv in an entire weekwew
>>2155632153 FOOT 9 WITH A TEN FOOT radio edit
>>215560228you forget that it was also a place to discover new music and be exposed to stuff thats outside your bubblenowadays your youtube/spotify algorithm will just keep recommending you things that sound the same or artists in the same genretheres still no place to go to that actually has "music-journalism" so to speak as mtv had, at least in equal qualitythe first time i saw anime that wasnt specifically made for children was mtv (and since then anime has regressed and seems to be 95% 12yo girls in skimpy outfits doing dumb shit)
>>215563335Agreed but the algorithm does make good suggestions.
>>215558781If I had income to just blow I'd buy cable. Watching a show on my laptop is fine but I like watching when everyone else does live.
>>215556477Like pretty much everything else, it peaked in the 90s and has now been garbage a lot longer than it was ever good. RIP in piss.>>215556909I bet they only made any "decent" money during the movie slots because it potentially wasn't going to be Ridiculousness viewers and could charge advertisers a couple bucks more.
>>215559316But would you really want a woman like Daria? I'm telling you I have a friend that's a lot like her, and she's insufferable. What kind of guy do you have to be to be attracted to her, and especially to make that relationship work. Unless you're a doormat type then enjoy.
>>215563215lol I thought the simpsons made him up
>>215563611
>>215556634can't be worse than TLC "The Learning Channel"
>>215556477Zoomers haven't even heard of that trash.
You now remember Puck.
>>215556521Muchmusic?
>>215556497fpbp
>>215556477MTV was literally shit for a longer span of time than it was good.Good riddance. I'm shocked it lasted THIS long.
MTV peaked in the early 90s with grunge and gangsta rap back when you could still bring loaded guns to school and only get a detention.
Punishment LONG overdue for canceling Headbanger's Ball the way they did back in 1995.
>>215564077Just be happy it lived as long as it did. That scene and show was expired by 95
what's mtv?
>>215556477Why didn't they just keep playing music? If they hadn't stopped playing music around like the year 2000 people would still have a reason to have a cable subscription, but they decided they didn't want to run a channel anyone would want to watch.
>>215564812I literally dated a girl once who had no idea MTV used to stand for music television.
>>215556477MTV was 4chan before 4chan became a thing
>>215556477Didn't it just become the "ridiculousness" channel? What's the point of a music channel that barely plays any music videos and no longer has any interesting shows
>>215560631For me it's
>it's 12am>kino time
I don't remember the last time I watched a music video
>>215564947not even on youtube?
>>215556477As a zoomer that grew up in Europe my only faint memories of MTV are Gorillaz and Gaga. Did this channel really not have long form music content like documentaries?
Jersey Shore was a big hit when I was in highschoolBut then they milked it too hard (there was like ten spin offs) and people stopped caringgeordie shore lol
>>215556909>rob dyrdek literally shows up, shoots a dozen episodes in a day, then comes back next week to do the same thing>devo collects millions of dollars for their song being used as the theme every episodethere is no justice in this world
>>215564939my nigga
>>215556477We happy few, we band of zoomers
>>215556477>Possibly the worst thing to happen to music in the last century.>It’s over.>Some contrarian is upset by this.I know it’s bait yet I still reply.
>>215556477Glad someone finally did.Now do The Simpsons and South Park.
>>215556909Is this edited? It surely cant be this ridiculous.
>>215564799Power of the rackman
>>215556497Truth. It ended when it handed the role of showing music videos over to Youtube. >>215556498Word. It WAS good in the 80s and 90s. In the 2000s it's pure dogshit that competes with Bravo, VH1, and VICE on who can be the shittiest network.
>>215556477good
>>215565483FOX doesn't show Simpsons most of the time now. It lost its Sunday time slot it held since the early 90s, and is pretty much on whenever they need a filler. It's fucking dead.
Heres a funny MTV story>2011 >Beavis and Buttheads first reboot airs on MTV>its a massive success with loads of people watching>but MTV execs noticed the moment Beavis and Butthead ended all of those people fucked off and switched the channel>This is why MTV didnt renew the show, they wanted these people to stay for slop like Sweet 16 and Teen mom
>>215556477Even licenced MTV in my PostC9mmie Shitholw got bad. Interviews with trash rappers and shitty musitians that zoomers here isten for some reason. With like 1 or 2 Music Videos sprinkled inbetween. I want My MTV...https://youtu.be/nYOMzNYO21c?si=52Bvf00nZQwk0yHR
>>215565847You said massive loads
>>215565848I stopped watching when they did their "dear White people" series to explain to White people why we're the worst people on earth, as told through economic and social parasites who do nothing but live off of White civilization and don't want to feel bad for doing it. Fuck them. MTV can crash in the absolute worse ways for all I fucking care.
>>215565865heh
>>215560132That was just a schizo mexican on /int/
