back2basics- Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Just wanted to get a feel for who watches it and who doesn't / wouldn't.There does seem to be some bad feeling towards MTV. In Chicago they are filming The Real world and every weekend there are protests outside the house. Some of the protests have had more than 200 people and there have been arrests etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmb1975 Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 What exactly are they protesting???? Do people have nothing better to do with their time?I like MTV, that and VH1....especially during the summer when there is nothing but reruns on TV.I'm totally hooked on that wrestling thing....ToughEnough...Yeah, Im a dork...so!

back2basics- Posted August 13 Author Report Share Posted August 13 All sorts of things, i think half is anti capitalist. But other people are going down the sell out route etc. That you ONLY ever see boy bands video's etc, more cash you have the more play you get etc.Some people just don't want it filmend in the neigborhood. They put the house in a arty district... so i guess it's half about credability, half pissed up jocks coming out of the bars and looking for something to do.and yes you are a dork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackydream Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 i watch MTV and VH1 sometimes..especially when they have concert footage (i think VH1 does that more than MTV). other than that, its TRL horror, or Mandy, or some cheesy shit like that. they have gone down a lot, and wtf is up with the times when they actually show videos? am i home to watch it 7-2pm? no. am i awake to catch the insomniac's music theater from 2am on? no! well, if i am awake im not home at that time anyway. that sucks about both of these channels these days, they used to actually show videos...miss those days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shugabooga Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 MTV is an embarrassment to this country. it shapes and influences the minds of our young people and it's a shame. all those corny, cheesy shows. whatever happened to the music part?

breakeraver Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 All the teeny bopper crap on mtv is sick and so annoying. Pop culture sucks. The only thing worth watching on mtv is jackass, which cracks me up ALL the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPYGIRL3 Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 Well, compared to the way MTV used to be, they were all about videos, new bands, current news, etc, etc, etc..... Now it's like who's doing who, who has what, who's going to jail, who's suing who......I think the whole point of Music TeleVision went down the drain. I like it every now and then. Mostly I have it on for background noise more than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sd Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 i have to admit that i love MTV, specifically shows like Jackass, Real World and Road Rules. all the people on those shows are such dumbasses its just fun to watch.however when i want to watch videos or shows, Much Music is the place to go. they have great videos, cover all aspects of music from R&B, to electronica, to rap, to hardcore metal. they even cover live shows which is awesome, i saw the Chemical Brothers and Fat Boy Slim at Red Rocks about 3 weeks ago. what an amazing venue that would be to see them at. for music, Much is where its at. for entertainment, drama and popular culture MTV is where i turn.

djamnfx Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 I don't watch MTV for the main reason that I do not have cable.In my opinion, in the times that I had cable and saw MTV, I feel that this station has gone to the point of DEFINING youth culture. I'm not sure if it is their fault or the fault of all the masses of "sheep" that allow their lives to be shaped by MTV. All I do see are a lot more women showing that blonde hair and dressing like Britney Spears (thankfully no one from this board), and a lot more guys trying to look like a member of NSYNC, and everyone acting as shallow as the Real World cast.For a look at the situation in Chicago's Real World filming, head to this link: Real World Order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sd Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 Originally posted by wackydream much music? where/what channel is that on? in jersey, its channel 55, BET- 54, MTV- 53, VH1- 52. i doubt that its the same in Brooklyn. sorry i don't know who my cable provider is. B2B- that is the most ridiculous plug i've ever seen, i've seen it in about 3 threads already today, its fucking annoying. why can't he just set up a link, and not be obnoxious.

tastyt Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 I haven't had cable in four years, but whenever I'm at my Mom's for the holidays I am glued to the tv- there is always a Real World or Road Rules marathon on. It's utter crack, and I love it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdecisive Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 maybe when it's less crap and more music.... For real. There are too many crap shows on the channel and not enough GOOD music. All they play is Top 40 bullshit. Especially that bubblegum pop bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
