What the hell does the ‘M’ in MTV even stand for anymore? The only time I ever fly by the channel is when I’m trying to cross the road and it’s nothing but reality shows. I have no idea how this network, which was originally designed to show nothing but music videos, transformed into its current state of turmoil. It’s like looking at a damn golden retriever and wondering how the fuck it birthed a three-toed sloth. I wonder just how many of MTV’s current target demographic actually know that MTV once played music; it was called music-fucking-television for a reason after all.
I’ve long written off the station as a used syringe laced with hepatitis and HIV since that’s all they seem to literally show anymore. I guess the controllers gave up making and showing videos of drugged out rock stars and just started showing drugged out kids instead. It would be cheaper to ask a kid to be on tv instead of paying for a celebrity.
What’s the point in having the video music awards when you don’t show any fucking videos anymore? Who the fuck really votes? The only time I’ve ever noticed any music being on the channel anymore is during the ass-crack hours of the morn when I’m working against infomercials and am pounding my head against an anvil for the grace of comfort. Nobody’s awake at those hours. Seriously, I’ve been awake around the whole damn clock, and I can safely say that at no time was that time slot even decently watched.
They used to premiere videos on the shows. They’d show the most popular videos in full, and then they started cutting down the video time showing. Now they’re trying to cover their herpes breakouts by using ointment to quell the spread throughout the schedule. It’s quarantined to the hell hours of never, and they can’t seem to eradicate the virus that’s plaguing them. Like many other entities, they can’t change their roots; they’ll keep growing in dark.
After a long, thoughtful shit, I realized that MTV still does play a lot of music. They play more mainstream music than a cheap strip joint, but just bastardized and in the background. Roll one up for the ones playing annoying loops and sound clips from “popular” music as menstrual pads soaking up all the shit shown on the station. It’s Man-bear-pig TV after all.
