>>217031010Also radio evolved into streamers
I haven't listened to anything new since 2016Feels like the whole culture died with WCD

>>217031010Buggles is seriously underrated, sucks they're only known for one song
>>217032008Isn’t that Trevor guy the singer for Yes now?
>>217032008MTVee, remember mei had a part in shitty TV
>>217031010Wow, this is huge. I spent so much time watching MTV as a kid and teenager. I'm surprised I didn't hear about this until right now. One vivid memory was seeing NIN's Pinion video on the late night programming. I think it was called MTV Uncensored. It's a bizarre video.
>>217032008Same thing with The Passions30k Feet Over China is a masterpiece of new wavehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XMBOcbEbQw
Everything is just lyric videos now. The art of the music video is now lost.
>>217032155MTV has been nothing by a reaction channel for years. The host makes like half a million per episode + royalties.https://www.mtv.com/tv-schedule/mtv
>>217032206The treatment music videos have gotten is obscene80% of music videos exist naturally at their original upload 20 years ago at 360p, 40% of those have been downgraded by youtube to 240p, and the remaining of those have been sharpened and upscaled using youtube's tools so they look awfulThere used to be a tracker dedicated to preserving masters of music videos but I think it went defunct several years agoIt's just crazy to me that an entire artform has been given basically no respect despite it oftentimes completely warping popular culture
>>217032212It's better it die than keep going on like this.
>>21703220699/100 when I'm listening to music I'm doing something else while listening to it. Sad to say but the video has sort of become obsolete for me.
Is there a site where I can stream MTV Classic? For free of course.
>>217031010Who cares. It was dog shit for years before ridiculousness took over.
Farewell song for MTV 80s was more kinohttps://youtu.be/kE3e2R4-Cgk
>>217031346Radio evolved into podcast. Television evolved into public access.
>>217031383Kinda worked out perfectly that they just stopped making any good music at all once what got nuked
>>217031068Didn't these guys have reagan derangement syndrome?
>>217032437For me it was when headbangers ball got sterilized
>>217032308Well, the problem of pop “acts” not really being art, but mere mass produced disposable consumer product, is a very old one. By the 1960s tens of thousands of bands were being created, recorded & promoted per year, each with some catchy hook or gimmick to sell a record. 99.9% of them were out of print by the 1970s when the amount of them tripled, and again in the 80s & 90s. Every year, fewer and fewer bands/groups/acts make it through the filter of time. At this point some pretty huge & successful bands only a few decades ago are already non-existent in the perception of the music buying demographic. A very small handful of them are being carried onward purely by new musicians looking to go back to roots. But just about everyone outide the originators or the perfectors of a musical style are just considered temporary by these companies & their back catalogues are generally not worth the expense to maintain.
>>217031010It served its purpose of CAPTURING the youth's attention, GUIDING them on how to think, feel, LOOK, deal with their angst, spend their money/time. Now there are substitutes to suck up their time. 1 tool replaced by others, even though the musical craft involved was more sophisticated.
>>217032748This is why piracy is good.
>>217032308Jewtube should allow artists to reupload a higher quality copy of the song while keeping comments and engagement stats.I think a lot of artists are reluctant to wipe out a video with 36 million views over 15 years. They want to keep that number big.
MTV did a great job of pushing the "its cool to be black" narrative in the 90s
>>217031010I'm surprised that it survived for so long in the first place.
>>217032412YouTube.com
>takes control of MTV>turns it into 24/7 funny home videos>makes millions of dollars>gets bored after 15 years and quits>network collapses a few weeks laterwhat a fucking chad
>>217031010At least we still have ridiculousness 24/7 ...oh wait nooooo
>>217031010mtv has been dead since the late 90s
>>217031383there’s always great stuff in the cracks anon, never give up finding that little piece of magic.
>>217033349>WHAT ABOUT US >GIRL
>>217031346Radio didn't "evolve" into anything. There are more radio stations today than ever. No other form of entertainment can compete with it on convenience and availability in just about any scenario.
