| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01  | If anyone saw the 20th year special, post your thoughts here. Personally I thought it was just a celebration of how it destroyed the music industry since '81. It seems that because of them every band that's not their standard of radio friendly, demographic focusing, and blatant commercializing is going to remain underground or, in a way, blacklisted. MTV kind of reminds me of the music mafia. In order for a band to make it these days they have to use image over actual talent. Some of the best bands out there may not look video friendly, but they blow away MTV music in terms of creativity and talent. Also, if you look around it seems obvious that too many high school/college kids depend on this station to think for them and it creates a huge social barrier. MTV seems like the perfect station for the "in-crowd" who stuck their noses in the air to the "outcasts". If a guy doesn't look like he came from a boy band and if a girl doesn't make herself look all "high maintanence" like Christina or Brittney, then neither will be accepted. Bottom line: It makes me sick! Feel free to tell me what you think. [email protected] or AolIm: SuckaMC26 You Give Me Head, It Makes it Worse.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Although this is the 3rd thread on the subject this is necesary to post. Funny how Jello Biafra saw it coming. Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair Flame up the herb Woof down the beer -(click!)- Hi I'm your video DJ I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go My job is to help destroy What's left of your imagination By feeding you endless doses Of sugar-coated mindless garbage So don't create Be sedate Be a vegetable at home And thwack on that dial If we have our way even you will believe This is the future of rock and roll How far will you go How low will you stoop To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill You've turned rock and roll rebellion Into Pat Boone sedation Making sure nothing's left to the imagination M.T.V. Get off the M.T.V. Get off the M.T.V. Get off the air Get off the air See the latest rejects from the muppet show Wag their tits and their dicks As they lip-synch on screen There's something I don't like About a band who always smiles Another tax write-off For some schmuck who doesn't care M.T.V. Get off the air And so it was Our beloved corporate gods Claimed they created rock video Allowing it to sink as low in one year As commercial TV has in 25 "It's the new frontier," they say It's wide open, anything can happen But you've got a lot of nerve To call yourself a pioneer When you're too god-damn conservative To take real chances. Tin-eared Graph-paper brained accountants Instead of music fans Call all the shots at giant record companies now The lowest common denominator rules Forget honesty Forget creativity The dumbest buy the mostest That's the name of the game But sales are slumping And no one will say why Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!? M.T.V.-Get off the air!

| O&A Board Regular Registered: May. 00 | fuck eMpTVy I love all types of music (except for country). It sickens me that MTV only will play what is popular for the moment. (ie, Grunge early 90's, Gangsta Rap mid 90's, sugar pop, late 90's, 2000, some rock now) It makes me even more ill that MTV virtually controls EVERY video channel. MTV2(formerly the excellent channel the box), VH1, and even BET! Diversity is the key to variety. So in response to MTV support your local artists, download mp3s, and all of that shit.  --Lent, the poster formerly known as Rowelentless-- | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | AM, good song choice. I almost forgot about that song. From "Frankenchrist" if I remember. DK, that's band you will never find on MTV, because they have decency!

| Hanger-On Registered: May. 01 | In response to Lent, "The Box" was hardly excellent. | ||||
| WoundedAngel Absolutely spectacular, and 1337 as hell. | posted on 08-02-2001 @ 1:19 PM | | |||
| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | I never liked "The Box" much either. Mtv is a media empire, which is horrible! They have control over what music gets listened to and becomes popular. Shouldn't we all have that right? I also love all types of music (even country) yet Mtv cannot accomodate me. I think it has something to do with the fact that they play every popular song over and over again, til you would rather lick your own asshole than hear it again. By the way, I am just ranting and raving so forgive gramatical errors...but God, Mtv does piss me off!  | ||||
