People would probably leave the tv on to listen to music, and maybe people today dont like it because they dont know they would like it.




You’re out of your damn mind if you think people, in 2020, are going to pay for a loop of music videos

Youtube does this for free

MTV is no longer MTV, but that’s not a stupid move on their part.

MTV actually blurred the sticker out on the rewatch. I thought it was some obscenity or something, but it's still amazing that they didn't want that known upon re-air.

Rap today is just a bunch of dark sounding beats with bells and plucks.

Literally every trap song sounds like the last

and the vibe that the music had back then in pre-9/11 and really pre-internet days was pure magic.


It was pre-social media, not pre-internet.

This was during the height of the AOL and mp3 era. Damn good time if u ask me.

the only thing that has sold for the past 10 years is nostalgia.

The fact that CMT and GAC don't even play videos anymore should be enough to tell you that format is dead.

MTV was the shite in the 90s growing up. It’s a damn shame what it has become.

No argument there

Sometimes I throw it on MTV Classic on Sunday nights when they play 120 minutes.

Perhaps the most ackward mement of the whole night was when Sean Fanning (the Napster founder) was brought out as a presenter with Carson Daly.

He was actually terrified I think of what might have happened. They showed Lars Ulrich in the crowd with the most disgusted look on his face.

Fanning even says at one point, 'I think I need to get out of here.'

What's amazing is that about half the audience actually clapped for him.

Either they had no idea who he was or they were just idiots.. Because that one guy killed the old record company model.

while there's truth to that, I'd still say music across the board is at its lowest its been. That late 90s-2000s era was probably the beginning of the end.

it is crazy how MTV went from being such a force of nature, completely ingrained in pop culture to now virtually irrelevant

so pissed as a kid when she came out wearing that black suit and then boom. Kids today with the internet at their full disposal will never understand just how great of a moment that was

I used to watch MtVs “making the video” or whatever it was called just to get some extended views of whatever the hell Britney, Christina, and Jessica were wearing....or weren’t wearing

the Ministry cover of Thieves is unreal... You can feel it through the video.


Watching this on YouTube currently.

After listening to it for a while, Durst says "this is the end of the world, 1999" or something like that. I now wonder if some of that hostility was because of the Y2K fear-hype.
