I want my MTV

I actually don't miss old MTV much at all. With the internet you can get any video at the touch of a button, so you don't have to wait around hoping they play your favorite song. Not to mention they probably played plenty of shit too, like most 80s and 90s radio. Imagine having to sit through bad hair metal and cheesy pop hoping they play The Cure. Nostalgia is what makes MTV seem like godsend now. I'm perfectly ok without it.

Don't believe nostalgiafags who talk about the golden age of MTV in 1992 or whenever. MTV was always aimed at 12 year old girls--nobody with any serious interest in music watched that shit.

i'm glad young people don't give a shit about MTV anymore because they'd be pushing the sjw feminist shit even harder than they are now

MTV just played shitty top 40 95% of the time and would if they still played music. Just use youtube and create a playlist of videos. Back in the day the "alternative" acts would only get a couple plays here and there and their own dedicated blocks late at night, the majority of the day was Guns n roses and hair metal Vanilla Ice and New Kids on the Block and shit like that.

But it was there. No you're just blasted in the ass by so much! Was it so bad to be spoonfed? You didn't have to do anything other than turn it on. Are there any resources on the Internet where users can line up music/videos and others can stream/participate. Sifting through videos every two and a half to 3 minutes sucks, and I feel like I won't ever branch out; something I think MTV probably helped a lot of viewers do.

But those alternative blocks did exist.

i get what you're saying OP, it'd be cool if there were still something like that out there that gave you cool recs,

Don't know about MTV but here in Canada there was a series on MuchMusic called the Wedge that featured exclusively indie and alternative stuff. It actually ran for quite a while and just ended a few years back.

I gotta know with the late 80's and early 90's was there a lot of edgy alternative and rock and metal videos being played? from like 87 to 94 you had bands like Alice in chains, Slayer, Carcass, Ministry, butt hole surfers, GWAR, Death, KMFDM, Morbid angel, and Pantera, and those bands had some videos, thrash and grunge more so, I imagine, stuff like ministry or carcass was mainly headbangers ball. but did these sort of bands get actual air time?
I know these sort of bands were on beavis and butthead. https://youtu.be/ALxHqdjYVEY

I liked 120 Minutes

yes but you have to know the song first, with old mtv you could discover new interesting music videos without effort, you didn't have to actively seek out videos

You're too used to instant gratification. Sure it's great, but there is something to be said for delayed gratification. It makes the payoff sweeter. Sometimes it's nice to let others do the music discovering for you too - discovering music on your own is almost always better, but it also requires more effort.

MTV2 was way more important if you think about it. Showed the first wave how to do it with less money.
